They SAY it's about "immigration." It's not about immigration. It never was about immigration. It's about racism.

ALSO Countries can tax the rich or they can "borrow" from the rich and then pay huge amounts of interest TO the rich.

The choice is always tax the rich and their corporations and do things to make regular people's lives better,

OR

Cut taxes the rich and make regular people's lives worse.

Countries where the rich (and their corporations) fund the political system choose to not tax the rich.

As right wingers make shit up about free medical care for "illegals," don't forget the medical care necessitated by Kristi Noem's goons.

Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America A federal judge had blocked Trump’s request to deploy California national guard to Portland

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump is infectious.

Kissinger did so I guess anyone can.

The same funding sources.

The government must ensure fair distribution of income 'The average real wage of workers has hardly moved from the 2008 level whilst bosses never had it so good.'

Richest 1% has more wealth than 70% of UK population combined.

Top 20% own two-thirds of wealth, receive 36% of income.

Bottom 20% own 0.5% of wealth, receive 9% of income.

Can't grow economy or have social stability.

Poverty is political choice. Which political party wants to address this?

“We’ve done loads of great stuff voters just need to hear it” followed by a list of stuff that mostly hasn’t actually been done yet *is not a comms problem*.

Racists are always the victims.

So to summarise, this is a white politician blaming a black journalist for the racism he is now actively helping to promote, after receiving the full endorsement of his own party leader

"It's good to be the bishop."

Name the movie.

Republicans will not rest until the real healthcare is found.

This. This is right.

House of South Carolina Judge Criticized by Trump Administration Set Ablaze Authorities are investigating a fire at the home of a South Carolina judge who had reportedly received death threats in what could be the latest incident of political violence across the country.

In the US there are costs if you don't cave to Trump.

Pity the ADL. It went out of its way to defend Elon Musk's definitely-not-a-sieg-heil, and in return gets this.

MAGA is starting to come after the Jews now. It was inevitable.

Judge should ask Hamilton directly if he advised DoJ on this effort to avoid her injunction.

Old, rich, white men don't give a sh*t about the future of the planet. They think they can escape to their New Zealand bunkers and be fine.

The oil company check was on time this week.

They might SAY it is about "immigration" but it's about racism. US & UK.

White supremacy doesn't care if people are "legal" - they only care what they LOOK LIKE.

Reagan Kavanaugh saying ICE can detain anyone who "looks" like they MIGHT be "illegal." It's about how they LOOK.

They mean WHITE.

There’s an essay to be written about how maga patriotism is just shitty fandom. Anyone who follows sports knows fans like this, it’s always the ref’s fault, the other team doesn’t exist, there’s some plot/player/coach holding the team back otherwise they’d always win easy bsky.app/profile/atru...

It might "take the heat out of the market" but it will also take hundreds of thousands of rentals out of the market as well.

The Tories "normalised politics-by-separatism and a kind of permanent contempt for the people who didn’t vote for you" and talked about immigrants "in ever more cruel and performative ways."

They talked about a "supposed failure of multiculturalism" and now the UK has a Trump party: Reform.

Don’t despair, Tories: look upon Reform and see your rightful and fitting legacy | Nesrine Malik If Kemi Badenoch wonders why her party conference looks and feels like a sideshow, perhaps she should reflect on the Conservatives’ 14 years in power, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

The result of 14 years of UK Tories trying to appeal to the far right voters is the rise of a new Trump party: Reform.

Adopting right-wing policies ONLY validates the right's claims. It does NOT move voters your way, and it makes more moderate voters hate you.

UK mosque set ablaze with two people inside, police investigating suspected hate crime | CNN A UK mosque was set ablaze with two people still inside in a suspected arson attack that police are treating as a hate crime.

The people who attend this mosque, and other Musim people, have NOTHING TO DO with attacks on Israel.

Don't blame Muslim people or Islam. That's like blaming Christians for what Trump is doing, or Jews for what Israel is doing.

I don’t mean to overreact or anything, but this is the commander-in-chief telling military personnel that Democrats are a problem to be dealt with.
