This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
Not one dime for this cruelty.

Matt Goodwin said in a post on X: “Welcome to the UK. Where you go to prison for 18 months for anti-immigration tweets. This is insane.”
No. What is insane is shrugging off incitement to racial murder.
Put this man in the bin, not the House of Commons.

Have you read The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists? Here’s the graphic novel version - the whole story told in cartoons.
You can still enjoy the story without reading the 255,000 word original text
And there are lots of horses and bicycles to look at

"The version of Christianity that Trump's most devout supporters embrace (and he pretends to) has no room for Christ’s actual teachings. Anyone who references Jesus’s declarations to aid the sick, poor, and vulnerable is quickly labeled a socialist and/or antifa."
Trump is clowning his evangelical base
He's not even bothering to pretend anymore.

I will not support any politician even if they're Democrats if they take funds from AIPAC. Israel is guilty of genocide and war crimes...they should be brought before The Hague and should zero funding and support from the USA or any other Democracy.

Trump is running this country exactly the way Putin runs Russia.
They do whatever they want, however they want to, then lie about it.
Exactly like Putin.
It makes me sick to my stomach that good people with power haven’t stopped this yet.

The UK was declared measles free in 2017.
Vaccine programs completely eliminated it.
Since then, pro sickness conspiracy theorists and anti science idiots have enabled its return.
