In vast areas of the US, the sentiments expressed in this wonderful letter from a British man about why it's a privilege to pay tax to enable the National Health Service to run would see him probably certified as insane and labelled a "socialist".

Trump just suspended enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a key anti-bribery law signed by Carter in 1977. For 50 years, it stopped corporations from bribing foreign officials. Now, Trump is letting corruption run wild.

Trump is abusing emergency powers to force tariffs that will disrupt supply chains, raise costs for businesses, and put thousands of jobs at risk. He is single-handedly disrupting the U.S. economy.

Sometimes your suffering will seek an outlet of blame.
Unfortunately, it’s often the people closest to you that bear the brunt of your frustration.
Take a mindful moment when you’re hurting. Please don’t unleash your pain on the blameless.
This is what we all should remember.

We need to hold our universities accountable for squashing free speech.

You know it’s true, right?!
“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”
James Baldwin
“To see the way Elon Musk has behaved globally, you can get a sense of the kind of impunity that they believe they can get away with.”

I appear on @CNN often. And if saying this means my days at CNN are over, then fuck it. CNN, removing @Acosta.bsky.social from his am show is cowardly bullshit. Acosta is an independent, unafraid host. To demote him to appease the crybaby in the White House is pathetic. Shame on u CNN. Don’t do it.

Political donations are institutionalized bribery.
Donors get access to policymakers, shape laws, tax privileges, lax regulations, govt contracts/subsidies, honours, power.
Banning political donations is a necessary step for free and fair elections and democracy
