The words passed me by on a reel I now can't find, but folks we have to keep these words close. They're the ones that will allow us to see worth in effort no matter how little impact it makes on a larger society.

Small acts. One at a time. Done with love.

Outrageous.

Ministers should be listening to scientists, frontline communities and those working towards a green transition – not hosting the interests of oil giants in their own offices.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.
Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

We can’t go on like this.

In just two days, the average FTSE 100 CEO has made a median workers full time annual salary.

The right calls this “wealth creation”.

It’s wealth extraction.

Time to tax the rich.

I grew up in a neighborhood rich with barstool philosophers and shade tree mechanics. A lot of times those things were true about the same person, which leads me to this: I hate manicures with black tips. They remind me of Bob the barkeep mechanic philosopher who had opinions and oily nails.

Can't someone just put Trump in an echo room with mirrors and let him to it.

Unprecedented? He means Un-presidented.

The reason other offices didnt make the same choices as this crook? A modicum of honour.

cuts at the VA are impacting care. There's a new huge satellite facility about 20m from me but it's only about 30% staffed and most service providers haven't moved in. My community care services are about to expire because my primary care doc left and the PA that replaced him hasn't approved it yet😡

Yknow what Trump could have done?

He could have stood in the UN and said "im offering to do this thing with no cost to the UN".

Pretty sure the answer still woukd have been no.

Just imagine...

We support any person in charge of 1 country just trolling in and using misuse of office as a disqualification of title, surely theyd better watch they arent fucking with the constitution of the office they themselves occupy.

Then all it woukd take is another nations leader...

There might be a bit of room if they stopped holding peaceful protesters in prison.
Let's talk climate protest.
Lets talk a woman and others on the verge of death after months of refusing food because she is being held under dubious laws without being charged over her protesting genocide.

One of the people the USA killed in Venezuela was Rosa Gonzalez, 80 who they blew up in her apartment.

Will you hear this on the European News?

I doubt it.

From the nation who set the precedent by rolling their tanks into Ukraine.
Russian Ambassador to the UN says that US action in Venezuela is "a harbinger of a return to an era of chaos, lawlessness and US domination by force... We hope that this banditry will be met immediately with an objective and comprehensive assessment under international law." ~AA

Darren Jones saying repeatedly the Labour Government won't comment on a hypothetical.

It's not hypothetical - Trump is saying very loudly repeatedly what he's done and boasting about it.

And yet the UK Government won't even say it's a breach of international rules. Shameful.

Imperialism (noun): a policy of extending a country's power and influence through colonisation, use of military force, or other means.

It's clear what Trump is doing.

Yet our Labour government refuse to defend international law and condemn the illegal actions of a rogue state.

On BBC News today: striking that it’s the two old establishment parties - Labour and the Conservatives - refusing to condemn the US breaking international law and doing what it wants.

Feels like politics stuck in the past, while the public has clearly moved on.
