Teesside’s freeport, initiated in 2021 under Rishi Sunak, has cost £560 million far exceeding the standard £25 million allocation (22 times the standard £25m).
90% profits go to the private sector.
This clearly shows the UK model of State aid post-Brexit is utterly corrupt.

This is how little the lives of Black people matter to way too many of our law enforcement.

They left that man to DIE because they assumed all Black people are on drugs.

Even if he was on drugs, he clearly needed medical help.

Shaking my head.

The suit says guards left him helpless on a jail cell floor in his own urine for hours

territory!

Embassies (and maybe consulates) are the ONLY foreign SOVEREIGN territory on US soil.

All other facilities are just used by foreign entities.

If a Saudi Arabian national buys property in New York, the land may be his by ownership, but it does NOT BECOME Saudi territory upon

How many times do I have to say it?

A foreign military force using our facilities for training or storage is NOT THE SAME as a foreign country having sovereign power over land.

The Russian Embassy in DC is Russian soil for all intents and purposes, just like the U.S. Embassy in Brazil is US

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

If you were recently terminated as part of the layoff, please reach out to www.centerforemploymentjustice.com.

Terminating federal employees for purely political reasons is illegal.

Giving a military base (i.e. sovereign space) to a foreign nation is ceding United States territory.

If TACO can give a part Idaho away to Qatar, he can give half of New York away to Israel, or give Alaska back to Russia.

Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50.

This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!
