NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES (SOUND UP)

DAY 7 NOVEMBER 2O25

THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES

TODAY USDA is finally paying SNAP BENEFITS 🙏

DEMOCRATS put forth a bill to reopen Govt. if GOP signs on to return Healthcare subsidies for one year
They refused
Blame Democrats for shutdown
Listen why DEMS FIGHT ⬇️

I bet Zohran Mamdani won't be appointing a registered sex offender like Trump's housing thug Bill Pulte just did.

BREAKING: Federal Judge Immergut in Portland rules Trump admin CANNOT deploy National Guard to Oregon. Grants state & city a PERMANENT injunction, barring troops indefinitely.

Private Jet, Business Class Tax Backed by Spain at Climate Talks Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Friday outlined plans to tax commercial flights and private jets, an initiative meant to combat planet-warming pollution from aviation that could hike the cost of business travel.

I don’t even have words for this.

One of the 2 guys responsible for this mass death wants a peace prize and the other wants $1trillion to be a bad CEO.

I am thoroughly ashamed of our country under Labour and the Conservatives, and a future Reform Government would be even worse. The incessant greed and awful policy that sees British arm companies profit from slaughter endorsed by our Government is horrific. It's an immoral stain on our nation.

Ah! I see the IEA are responding to the Charity Commission criticisms by appointing a highly politically biased DG.

We can’t let the Tories sabotage this once-in-a-generation chance to reshape the world of work | Angela Rayner The employment rights bill is in the Commons today. As Zohran Mamdani’s victory shows, people are desperate for policies that actually improve lives, says Labour MP Angela Rayner

Reform/Tories hate the Employment Rights Bill as it gives workers a bit more control over their lives.
They also moan about how many people are off work, sick and Farage says NMW is too high

“being pro-worker is not a barrier to success, but a launchpad to it.”

Black people can't be English, insists Reform councillor Councillor Alexander Jones - hailed by Nigel Farage as "young, energetic and exactly what’s needed" - made the inflammatory comments on Facebook

The New World has picked up our story about Reform's Doncaster mayoral candidate appearing to claim non-white people can't be English www.thenewworld.co.uk/rats-in-a-sa...

What happens now is that every dropped piece of trash, every inch of graffiti, every broken down subway train, every disappointing sandwich, every rat in Central Park, and every single crime gets blamed on Zohran Mamdani... by racists who never go near NYC.

My tip as a Londoner. Shrug and carry on.

Millions of families are being crushed by cuts to SNAP: the program that helps feed the most vulnerable among us. For one dad, the impact is devastating:

“My son is 44 years old but functions at about a 2-year-old level. He needs around-the-clock medical care. SNAP used to give him $260 a month

Interesting unknown 2028-29 question is what level of racism on "deport 4th generation British citizens" for serious crimes (Lucy White) to "disenfranchise Kemi Badenoch" & bar her from running for PM (Ant Middleton) will or won't be a bar to being one of Reform’s 650 Parliamentary candidates

Zohran Mamdani marching across the Brooklyn Bridge with supporters, including Tish James and Brad Lander, before delivering his closing campaign message in City Hall Park.

Promises made, promises wrecked.

need a mike johnson doll that when you pull its string it says "I dont know. I haven't seen it."

Don't stop at Spotify

Boycott EVERY corporation that supports fascism

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.

Brexit was always the stupidest idea in Stupid Town.

Aid efforts struggle to bring relief to parts of hurricane-stricken Jamaica Rescuers and aid workers have spread across Jamaica to deliver food and water after Hurricane Melissa ravaged the island.

Rescuers and aid workers fanned out across Jamaica on Saturday to distribute food and water and reach communities still isolated four days after Hurricane Melissa hit the island.

The case for a Royal Commission on Britain and Europe Britain’s post-Brexit paralysis demands independent scrutiny. A Royal Commission could finally confront the evidence politicians avoid

If the government won’t admit Brexit’s damage, an independent Royal Commission must.

A calm, forensic case from former MEP Andrew Duff.

Stop buying it then?!?

Jesus Christ. We go mad about one bloke we wrongly released, yet hear next to nothing about this horror? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Great listing of climate films!
I would have added ‘Chasing Ice’.
