Seeing all the messages to Hannah Spencer on insta is wholesome scrolling. Don't think I've ever wished more luck to a woman I've never met before. Vote Green.

Resilience, ridicule guarantee hate group’s flop at D.C. anti-abortion march When 120 white nationalist Patriot Front members descended on Washington, D.C., they were met by counterdemonstrators and clown music.

NEW, from me: I talked to people who shut down Patriot Front's rally in D.C. last month.

Counter-demonstrators made it impossible for PF to produce propaganda and recruit at the March for Life rally. The clown music set the tone.

Today’s probably going to be an incredibly stupid day in British politics so I’m gonna need everyone to be on their A-game today. Top quality posts only.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, Blind Rohingya refugee dumped by CBP, dies in cold "They just left him."

They killed him.

It takes a lot to infuriate me and break my heart only because you have to be able to tolerate a lot when covering Trump and fascism and try your best to stay centered and hopeful.

This story I can't let go.

They chose to let him just die.

They tried doing this with SNAP funding, and a federal judge told them they could not.

Trump's State Department hosted UK anti-Muslim activist Tommy Robinson today.

In 2013, Robinson pleaded guilty to illegally entering the U.S. by using a fraudulent passport.

Removing Medicaid funding from Minnesota means that thousands of children will not be able to get medical treatment and will be deprived of proper nutrition

Apparently Trump and JD Vance think that β€œgood stewardship” of Medicaid means creating policies that produce sick, starving kids

Remember, john roberts' logic for weakening the medicaid expansion was that it was "too coercive" to give the states money to pay for medicaid. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Republicans *do not need to put up with this.* They have the off-switch. If they wanted to, they could impeach Trump, Vance, AND Johnson in that order and still have control of all three branches of government.

They don't do it because they just plain don't wanna. They like this.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

This is both an act of war *and* a war crime, as it is similar to cutting off water or destroying power plants. It's designed to kill civilians.

Dear Lucy
On the eve of the by-election, your Labour party spokesperson has admitted to the Huffington Post that a
Labour party leaflet has been delivered through doors with your imprint recommending a vote for Labour
by a tactical voting organisation which does not exist.
This is deeply troubling, it is actually lying to voters. Did you approve this? Do you feel the Labour Party
in government should be held to different standards in terms of honesty to the British public?
In your last letter to me you mentioned your β€˜very extensive data’ and β€˜having spoken to over a third of
eligible voters’ which led you to an understanding that the by election β€˜was a contest between labour and
Reform’. Clearly this latest development only tells voters one thing - you will employ any type of
political deception (or in Urdu β€œDhoka” ) to win.
You will be very aware that all three real tactical voting organisations are recommending a vote for the
Greens as the best way to stop Reform. Lying to the voters, as you have been caught doing, raises the real
prospect that Reform will be the beneficiaries, something you have said that you don’t want.
As this is such an important issue, for the sake of your own reputation, I would strongly urge you to
apologise to the voters of Denton and Gorton before the polls open in the morning.”
Kind regards,
Zack Polanski
Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

Why did you invent a fake tactical voting company to stop the Green Party beating Reform?

I'm starting to think your letters haven't always been in good faith...

hate this in general but also what is Labour doing to reopen women's shelters? what is Labour doing to make sure conviction rates for rapes start going up again? what is Labour doing to make sure women feel they can trust the police? what is Labour doing to stop sexual harassers?

We were always going to end up here with these allegations about Trump sexually assaulting a minor. First because he's sexually assaulted others and admitted to it. Second because nothing else really makes sense re: the administration's unwillingness to release the Epstein files.

The last 35 years have seen over a dozen pieces of primary legislation on immigration plus countless rule changes, almost invariably more restrictive in effect, so a model which shows parliamentary debate as generally positive about immigration over that period… >

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a β€œweapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.
