people need to come to grips with the fact that we don’t have a democracy in the US, never have, and building one is the world-historic task set before us
I think people are failed understand that for democracy, to be rebuilt and reestablished in the United States. There is going to have to be a reckoning. and it’s going to feel very, very scary for a while as democracy is solidified again as it will feel like a war for many people.

We are many. They are few.
a bunch of government goons from ICE/HSI showed up to an elementary school in DC this morning and tried to detain a staff member in the parking lot but the person's colleagues intervened and stopped it and let that be a reminder to all of us that we can do that

Israel has broken the ceasefire with Hamas and is actively committing genocide against the Palestinians again.

Israel is also striking targets in Lebanon and Syria.

There are suspicions that these flights were carrying US arms. Israeli aircraft packed with “advanced weaponry” have been reported as regularly flying from Dover to Nevatim since Israel began its destruction of Gaza.

The aims of Israel's unilateral ending of the ceasefire and return to mass bombing in Gaza:
1. Facilitate's Ben Gvir's return to government
2. Passing of budget (before 31 March otherwise early elections)
3. Deflecting public outrage over the attempted sacking of Attorney General, head of Shin Bet

Lets be honest here. We've seen their support for #Israel and its wholesale slaughter of children whilst they feast on subsidised lunches.

Now they want to bring it home in a nice, middle class, understated British way. Lets not make a fuss now...
The only thing this Government, or any Government for that matter, should be doing, is eliminating this.

All policy, ideological arguments or faffing about is irrelevant when you have children in abject poverty in these numbers.

Your society has failed. Radical solutions must be implemented.
Cry for me Britannia.

Over 85,000 children in Britain living in extreme poverty.

Nursery-aged child hospitalised malnourished, caused heart condition, teeth removed.

Govts prioritise arbitrary fiscal rules, won't tax the rich, redistribute.

1% has more wealth than 70% of the population combined.

the idea that every member of a protest is individually responsible for the behavior of every other participant in the protest is entirely absurd and yet has been entirely normalized.

yeah see stuff like this is why those democratic governors are mad at you, chuck. you’re tsk tsking when you should be actively sabotaging the coup that is happening under your nose
Instead of going on TV to say whatever nonsensical thoughts pop into his head, Donald Trump should be working to actually put safety first and make sure a tragedy like this never happens again.
