Dear Mr Farage, you stated during the Brexit campaign that we, bloody forrins, were responsible for traffic jams on British roads.
As it happens, I mostly work from home but you're against this now.
So, what do you prefer, me working from home, and being "less productive" or causing jams?

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.
BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned
NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

We just had a strong geomagnetic substorm here in Iceland. My cat and I watched from the balcony. Sometimes the show is strong enough to see inside the city limits easily.

Thank you, Julie Johnson, for speaking out against the grotesquely misnamed SAVE act. We need you to keep fighting for us in the House.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

I'm proud to be the son of a miner from a coal & steel town. My great grandfather and one of his sons were crushed to death in an underground roof fall. My grandfather died of "black lung" before he qualified for his state pension, and dad suffered with respiratory illness. Coal mining must stop!

I am sorry Get Your Guide but I find this advert rather disturbing.
Why "last chance"?
Meanwhile, I am ambivalent about visiting the place where my grandfather was deported and died.

Look, this is textbook for how fascism works. Mussolini did it; Hitler did it.
At one point in both their movements' histories, they linked themselves up to legit political parties to gain for themselves legitimacy. Once they got it, they proceeded forward with their radical politics.

Coal mining and burning are associated with severe, often fatal, health conditions, primarily affecting the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Key diseases include Coal Workers’ Pneumoconiosis (black lung), COPD, silicosis, and lung cancer due to dust inhalation.

No one can deny that ICE under this Administration is being overly aggressive, violating people's rights, and endangering the lives of U.S. citizens and law abiding immigrants. We cannot move forward without commonsense reforms.
