Weird how Antifa never asks me for money. Everyone else does, but Antifa is very quiet.

If you don't support reparations, and you're a white American, you are benefiting from the wealth and infrastructure built on the backs of enslaved Black people. Today, you’re living off stolen labor. You don’t deserve to profit from, or even claim, the nation our ancestors were forced 👇🏾

@warnock.senate.gov: "You know that it's a critical moment any time Raphael Warnock and Marjorie Taylor Greene are essentially saying the same thing. That doesn't happen often... She saw that the premiums of her own adult children will go up so much in 2026 that their healthcare is unaffordable."

Pritzker is meeting the moment and if he stands up for the people, stands up against Trump's rein of terror, holds ICE accountable, he can elevate himself as a front runner for Dem leadership.

Now is the moment for leaders, not cowards.

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"

Please understand that This is Trump regime explaining how they will use the government to prosecute Democrats. Page 1 of the fascist playbook is imprison political opponents so that the fascist has one party rule.

California is the first state to define ultra-processed foods and phase them out of school meals.

DC politicians can talk all day about "Making America Healthy Again," but we've been walking the walk on boosting nutrition and removing toxic additives and dyes for decades.

We should all be happy for any progress toward a cessation of hostilities in Gaza and especially for the release of the surviving hostages. That said: editors and writers need to be clear a temporary ceasefire is not a "peace" deal. What we're talking about is phase one of a multiphase plan.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

As goes the US, so goes the UK. I hope your citizens will awaken faster than ours have to the brutal future that awaits you if you let the fascist frogarage anywhere near real power.

A house in Clacton bought with unknown finances, a Russian funded Welsh leader and now an investigation into the finances and tax affairs of one of Farage’s key ally.

The treachery and corruption is right in front of the media’s eyes and they do and say, NOTHING!
