If you hear this...if you feel this...please consider sharing our testimony.

UAE has no democratically elected institutions, no free speech and an appalling human rights record.

Its economy functions on completely different metrics to the ours & ranks well below us for GDP

No serious person would ever think that we should emulate it.

But here's Tice calling us decadent

One significant - & dangerous - thing to watch for is professional commentators objecting to words rather than examining the evidence. It's pearl-clutching & cowardly, obviously, but also a deliberate attempt to avoid confronting exactly what they themselves are facilitating and often cheering on.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

We are now getting very close to him committing Treason. Saying that you are going to end rule of law in America if a judge does not rule your way is a threat against the U.S. as serious as any foreign incursion—and indeed would be considerably more ruinous to the nation he swore an oath to protect.

Trump "We have an Insurrection Act for a reason. If I had to enact it, I'd to that ... if courts were holding us up or governors or mayors were holding us up, sure, I'd do that."

Oh yes, some are DEFINITELY over diagnosed - as in: due to necessity!!

Example: schools have become so rigid/hostile for some kids, that they can only get some leniency/the support they desperately need by ‘forcing’ schools to abide by an EHCP (that many would not need in a reasonable environment!)

Tory Mel Stride wants to slash the UK’s overseas aid to 0.1% of national income. That’s not just cruel, it’s racism dressed up as fiscal prudence.

Cutting aid means condemning millions to poverty, fuelling migration, and destroying economic stability.

Tory plans to cut aid are racism in action
