🚨 BREAKING: Tesla shareholders just voted to make Elon Musk the world's first TRILLIONAIRE.

Only the world’s biggest loser would would have the ability to end world hunger several times over and choose not to.

Just tax billionaires. Duh.

Working a job full time should afford you, as a bare minimum, to live in a home that's not a slum, to buy you food that's fresh and nourishing, and healthcare that allows you to live without suffering.

If it doesn't, they're not paying you enough.

Of course it is.

Mussolini and Hitler and Franco all blamed immigrants to seize power.

The same old playbook is being used.

Well a little run done this morning, but Iam still struggling with a slightly dodgy knee so it was somewhat less than the normal 5k

It's almost as if the media and right wing parties are manufacturing consent. The most important issue to people will always be material conditions.

I like the courtesy of a CW contact, loads of MNI TNX, TU, GL and 73s. Its like we stepped back into a world of being nice to each other across all country boundaries.

This SNAP issue in the USA is insane.

40 million Americans rely on these payments to afford FOOD!

12% of the population.

That's 1 in 8 people.

In food poverty.

In by far the largest economy on Earth.

And Reform wants all of this for the UK, coupled with the expressed aim to privatise our NHS.

Only 29 asylum appeals have been made to the ECHR in the last 45 years you dimwit. For that non-existent benefit you would sacrifice the right to life, liberty, fair trial, freedom of expression, thought, religion, protection from torture, slavery, etc.

Santander urges ministers to intervene in UK car finance compensation scheme Lender’s chief executive says redress proposals could affect jobs, supply chains and broader UK economy

Santander urges ministers to intervene in UK car loan compensation scheme.

Resents compensating victims.

No one forced banks to sell another dud product to boost profits and exec pay, not tell customers of secret commissions.

Directors should personally bear some of the cost.

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

Freddie Mercury came to the UK as a kid because people that looked like him were being killed back home in Zanzibar.

In the UK, he formed Queen.

In the UK, he became a global icon.

A smiling woman stands outdoors with a blurred urban background and a blue-grey sky. Beside her, a bright blue speech bubble contains large white text reading: β€œIt drives me mad seeing adverts full of Black and Asian people.” The image contrasts her cheerful expression with the offensive and racist statement displayed next to her.

Reform UK MP, Sarah Pochin, said on TalkTV that β€œit drives me mad seeing adverts full of Black and Asian people.”

She later apologised... for saying what she really thinks out loud and in public.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

The Revolution Will Be Organised What the β€œNo Kings” marches taught us: the antidote to tyranny isn’t fury - it’s laughter, clipboards and muscular decency (and there's probably a Gantt chart somewhere).

In the UK, our king mostly opens garden shows and waves at things.

In the US, an orange man is trying to crown himself.

This weekend, seven million people reminded him that he’s not special.

Byline Times has put a new investigations team on the biggest story in Britain - widely unreported and ignored - which leads to and *should* be the biggest story in many countries in Europe, the US and elsewhere around the world, because it explains so much of the shit we're all going through.
