Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Pritzker: "I think it's important to recognize that the Trump administration does not seem to respect any laws in the United States. They just do what they want to do and they'll keep doing it unless someone stops them. Here in Illinois we're stopping them."

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

Yes. Unless the party's admit it, things will never improve.

Yes. But the Greens are very different. It stretches right to the top. Habeck, for example, was a childrens book author.

SPOILER ALERT: Most ICE agents today are basically untrained auxiliary staff recruited from the neo-nazi and bounty hunter scenes. They receive payment for everyone they arrest who appears to be "foreign". That's why they hang out at immigration courts and that's why they don't show their warrants.

The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine has released data on 178 Ukrainian cultural artifacts stolen by Russians.

Most of them - 140 artifacts - were stolen during illegal excavations in Crimea, in particular in Tauric Chersonese, at the Kadykivske hillfort, and in the Church of St. John the Baptist.

Not all of them, luckily.
But the media only concentrates on those that do.

Ginreeks is a racist. As soon as he's party leader, he'll begin moving towards an electoral pact with RefUK. It's the only thing that can save them now. RefUK has the votes but no election infrastructure. Tories have an election infrastructure but no votes.

I've never noticed that. Davey, for instance, has been involved with the LibDems since at least his early 20s – and his whole biography screams "establishment".

They will if they ever get into government, because NONE of their policies will work.

1. The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) is the ethical DNA of modern Europe.
2. It was created after WW2 as a safeguard against the types of crimes committed by the Nazis.
3. Leaving the ECHR would leave you defenceless against the criminal whims of whatever politicians are in power.

Greens have been very successful in Europe since the 1990s. But that never really happened in UK – until now. The unique thing about Greens is that you don't need to have been involved in the party since the youth stage to make a career. Greens welcome newcomers from outside the world of politics!
