Sign the petition: save our BBC: don't let the likes of Trump and his UK cronies meddle with our public broadcaster 🚨Our BBC is under attack 🚨 We can't let those that want to see it torn up & replaced by the likes of GBNews or Fox win. Sign the open letter now to demand the new BBC boss is someone that will protect...

38d.gs/bbc_o_eaio Wouldn't hurt to get rid of Robbie Gibb at the same time! Please sign to protect unbiased journalism (even if sometimes a little flawed) and wrest the BBC from capture by minority activists. It's too important to lose.

Truly disgusting that Trump's main priority is building a gaudy ballroom while Americans are suffering during the shutdown.

Farage's friend Nathan Gill loves his country, but it's not Britain Once a staunch ally of Farage, Nathan Gill now faces a substantial jail sentence after admitting to Kremin-linked payouts

This group of chancers continue to show us their true colours. Don't fall into the trap of believing their rhetoric!

Not only did federal goons show up to try and intimidate our governor, they did so on hallowed ground. Gov. Newsom was speaking at the Democracy Center at the Japanese American National Museum, which I helped found so we do not repeat the horrors and injustices of the past. Shameful.

Deputy Attorney General
United States Department of Justice

Dear Deputy Attorney General Blanche,
The Department placed each of us on administrative leave ostensibly to review our, and
the Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney's Office's, handling of the Adams case. It is now clear that one of the preconditions you have placed on our returning to the Office is that we must express regret and admit some wrongdoing by the Office in connection with the refusal to move to dismiss the case. We will not confess wrongdoing when there was none.
We have served under Presidents of both parties, advancing their priorities while pursuing
justice without fear or favor. The role of a career prosecutor is not to set policy. But a prosecutor must abide by the oath to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States and the rules of professional ethics set by the bar and the courts. The Department has long understood that these duties can and should coexist with the need to follow Department policies and orders. This is to the benefit of all: the courts, defendants, and the public, who can have confidence in the good faith and judgment of line prosecutors; the Department, which retains credibility while still receiving zealous advocacy from its lawyers; and the prosecutors themselves, who can stand in court confident that they are ethically carrying out their duties.
Now, the Department has decided that obedience supersedes all else, requiring us to abdicate our legal and ethical obligations in favor of directions from Washington. That is wrong.
Serving in the Southern District of New York has been an honor. There is no greater privilege than to work for an institution whose mandate is to do the right thing, the right way, for the right reasons. We will not abandon this principle to keep our jobs. We resign.
Sincerely,
Celia V. Cohen

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

We're ready. The official turnout from yesterday's protest marches (April 5, 2025 Hands Off) is 5.2 million, keep sharing that number. Most media is saying thousands. Mark you calendars for April 19 for the next one. The snowball has started to roll. The snowflakes have become a blizzard.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse.

2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report."

3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes."

This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Carney is already assuming the mantle of statesman leader. I hope the Canadians recognize that we need people of his calibre and experience to lead the world away from our toxic relationships with the Oligarch Republic of the USA.

No second state visit for Trump Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.  This is the...

Donald Trump has started a global trade war & is going to devastate the financial security of the poorest in all societies, including his own. He is a bully. Now, over 200,000 of us are calling to cancel his second UK state visit - will you join the backlash too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

About a week after cutting a $1 billion program which was remarkable win-win, paying local farmers to provide lunches for hungry school children

Trump’s USDA cut ANOTHER $500 million designated for food pantries

Sure, it’s heartlessly cruel

But Elon Musk’s next tax cut isn’t gonna pay for itself

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla.

It's working.

There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences.

They need to scare you back into civility and compliance.

As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.
