It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

‘Brummies united against racism’: poster campaign takes on the far right

A message of neighbourly solidarity is thriving in Birmingham against a backdrop of racist intimidation When Mus unfurled the leaflet lying on her driveway, she was left shocked, angry and upset. “White Britons are already a minority in London … it is clear that if these trends continue white people will become a minority in Britain,” it read. The leaflet, written by a far-right group, was distributed along her street three years ago in Moseley, a leafy suburb of Birmingham. It went on to blame NHS waiting lists, a shortage of social housing and even traffic on “the rising population”. Continue reading...

Tens of millions of people have died from Covid.

Every country should have responded with record investments in public health infrastructure.

Instead the US government is putting us all at greater risk of more catastrophes by firing hundreds of top scientists whose job is to prevent outbreaks.

Today, I signed a series of bills that close gaps in maternal and prenatal care, improve health outcomes and access to child care resources, and protect vulnerable women.

Women in California deserve the services and resources they need to live full, self-determined lives.

Good morning and happy Thursday to everyone. I know this isn't a dating site, but my biggest swipe left with the USA right now is that the wrong people are being zip-tied. ✨

OUR tax dollars are being used to bail out Argentina, OUR troops are being put on the ground in Israel & OUR soil is being used by Qatar for a military base of their own.
While OUR government is shutdown.
Anyone who believes OUR so-called “president” when he says he is “America first”, is an idiot.

It's not over, it has only just started.

We must get that Palestine State, completely free of Israel.

Do not ever forget that the problems this country still face are down to 14yrs of neglect from the Tories.
14yrs of lying in your face.
14yrs of law breaking and diverting public funds to rich donors.
14yrs of undermining decency and respect.
Need I go on? I could but surely you see who fckd us over

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

I’ve got no time whatsoever for Tony Blair but the BBC scraping the bottom of the barrel for knocking copy on the LP is so on message for them. Compare this with the absolute silence over the relationship between Nathan Gill and Farage.

Tony Blair met Jeffrey Epstein while prime minister

The ex-PM confirms he met Epstein in 2002, six years before the financier pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor.
