Pete Hegseth: "You must blindly follow my orders unless they later turn out to be illegal, in which case they are your orders."

As you read about service members' response to being underbussed by Pete Hegseth, consider how this will play as Trump tries to start an illegal war with Venezuela.

Countries where billionaires fund politics & own media -- refuse to tax billionaires, cut pensions, cut healthcare, childcare, transportation, infrastructure, education and let giant corporations extract everything from the public and planet.

The wholesale murder of people in international waters, without due process, is a crime.

If left unchecked, it will lead to more such crimes.

This is how things work.

Letting them get away with it is the same as giving them permission to keep doing it.

This is a quote from Zack Polanski to GAY TIMES and it goes as follows: "We need to move to a place around HIV, without delay, stigma or shame, where people are able to talk openly about their experiences and we are able to find humanity and compassion as a society for LGBTQIA+ and straight people living with HIV, to ensure that people are supported, cared for and loved."

Warning: Do not repeat right-wing phrases. They are crafted to turn people against democracy, good governance and each other.

Recent examples:

"Nameless, faceless bureaucrats,"

"Dragged into a higher tax band"

Anything negative about "immigrants"

They say billionaires will "leave" if you try to tax them?

Doctors ACTUALLY leave if you don't pay them what they are worth.

Doctors do a LOT more for the public than billionaires. Billionaires fleece the public. Tax them and pay doctors.

Government giving food benefits to employed people while refusing to raise the minimum wage is subsidizing billionaires and their corporations.

As long as politics is funded by billionaires people will find it hard to get by, while billionaires extract everything from the public.

Asked for comment by Sky News, the IDF responded: "Earlier today, IDF troops identified two suspects who crossed the yellow line, conducted suspicious activities on the ground, and approached IDF troops operating in the southern Gaza Strip, posing an immediate threat to them.
"Following the identification, the IAF eliminated the suspects in order to remove the threat."

After billionaire media blasts headlines saying something, polls show that people read the headlines. Funny how that works...

Now how about some Farage/Russia headlines?

"Hold them all accountable."

Now, there's a slogan I could get behind!

Also, "Tax the rich." The way things are going, though, I think "Eat the rich" is seriously due for a comeback.

Here's the thing, Reform's anti-immigrant appeal is really about race - non-white faces - not immigration. By going along with this Labour may be adding credibility to Reform.

By strengthening white supremacist impulses Labour risks further dividing the UK.

This is like a dam breaking. These murders at sea are SO outrageous that even (a few) elected Repubicans just can't stomach it. Serious people are actually daring to speak up about this.

It's as if there someone was actually being shot on 5th Avenue - on camera.
