Pretty sure there was intent in the 2nd amendment to support the people in fighting back against a tyrannical government.

They have no choice but to block elections. If the Dems ever get in, the present administration will all be tried as traitors.

This is so fucked!
Sick false assumptions co-opting goodness and ethical behaviour to the the Christian right. Explicitly comparing empathy as a tool of the devil that is used by “the radical left”.

Is empathy toxic?

"We should never underestimate the extent to which the BBC changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage, other far right extremists and the Tufton Street junktanks, while shutting out progressive voices."

I walk more than I drive, so I come at this statement from both angles;
Cyclists and pedestrians need to abide by traffic laws if we’re going to see a reduction in injuries and, frankly, traffic slowdowns.
It can’t be 100% on drivers.
Bikes and walkers, abide by the signals and laws

Someone needs to investigate who in Doug Ford’s orbit keeps getting speeding tickets.
There’s no way he’s attacking cities’ rights to have speed cameras without having somebody in his posse whispering in his ear.

Same guy who declared bankruptcy 6 times shut down the U.S. government 4 times in 5 years of being President. They wanted him to run the government like his businesses and that’s exactly what he’s doing.

Senate, Congress and the presidential candidates should have to pass a test prior to election day to show they understand the way laws are made and enforced, how the government functions and is funded, and throw in a few history facts.
It’s ridiculous you have such an ignorant President.

I often think about how so many cities are absolutely AGONIZING over the idea of turning a single street, or even a block, into a people-place and pedestrian stroll, while thriving communities like Gràcia in Barcelona are filled with so many streets & squares with no cars, or at most “tamed” cars.”

Deliveries continues😡

Last year, #Russia earned about $750–760 million from uranium sales to the #UnitedStates, #Putin said at the Valdai forum,

in the first half of this year alone, Russia sold over $800 million worth of uranium to the U.S. Putin expects the figure to exceed $1 billion⬇️

Among other things, I blame 25 years of non stop reality TV and capitalist 24 hour news cycle. That shit is toxic.

Take a peek! 👀

This week, we’re joined by talented young photographer Jamie Smart, also known as ‘Eagle Eyed Girl’, over on our Instagram feed.

From rutting deer to diving gannets, this award-winning photographer certainly knows how to capture the character of UK nature. 💙

Moldova’s vote is a clear yes to a European future.

Despite Russia’s massive efforts to spread disinformation and buy votes, no force can stop a people committed to freedom.

We stand with Moldova on their path to the EU.
