They could have just added Trump's birthday as another free day.

Instead the Trump administration shows how racially biased they are, yet again!

I'm an observer from the UK and a white male.

Decent Americans need to act NOW or you will regress to the racial bigotry of 50/60's in a year.

A quote ascribed to Joseph Heller when at function hosted by a billionaire.

The questioner tried to belittle Heller, saying the billionaire earned more in a day than Heller did for his royalties.

Hellers reply, 'He does, but he can never have what I have, which is ENOUGH'!

Last week, Amnesty International released a detailed statement documenting that โ€œIsraeli authorities are still committing genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip, by continuing to deliberately inflict conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction.โ€

Think the Palestinian Genocide is particular to Gaza?

+1k killed since 10/23 in the West Bank.

+70k killed & +170k injured

Will exponential massacres in pursuit of land stop?

NEVER until a total boycott by the West.

The West is YOU!

Budget 2025.

The wealthy hardly hit.

Minor tweaks on dividend and mansion tax.
No wealth tax.
No alignment of taxes on dividends & capital gains tax with taxation of wages.
Partnerships won't pay NIC on partners' share of profits
No financial transactions tax.

Lobbying and political donations pay

@bbc5live.bsky.social Why are you ignoring the ongoing Israeli slaughter in Gaza and the West Bank? You give plenty of time to Russian attacks but are now totally ignoring the fact that Israel is continuing the genocide in a "ceasefire".

Do your jobs as journalists or be accused of racist bias.

The attacks on Polanski are 'Niemoelleresque'.

The tenet of Niemoeller is,

'Who will be there for you'

It's your choice, ultimately.

Nothing is perfect and totally aligns with your political views.

The Green Party is a political broadchurch.

You choose?

My choice is the Green Party.

Witkoff is the literal Russian oligarch, in all senses.

Quote:
"a very rich business leader with a great deal of political influence who benefited from the privatization of state-run industries after the collapse of the Soviet Union."

Witkoff is a 'Krasnov' in another packet!

Nobody donates 5 figure sums without expecting a favour in return.
Chinn as an individual has 1 vote in elections.
That is the political power of all individuals.
'Donate' 100k+ that political power is magnified exponentially.
Whose interest does Chinn serve?

โ€œWokeโ€ is weaponized
Empathy is pathologized
Logic is minimized
Science is marginalized
The Constitution is bastardized
History is revised
Government is monetized
Authoritarianism is televised
Propaganda is normalized
Violence is prioritized
Killing is fetishized
Fascism is realized

He is unusually willing for a politician to give a straight answer to questions.

Does he want to rejoin the EU? โ€œYes."

How WhatsApp messages revealed ex-reform politicians pro-russian vibes.

How WhatsApp messages revealed ex-reform politicians pro-russian vibes.

Reform's former Leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, a 10.5 year jail term for taking bribes from the Kremlin.

Cosied up to authoritarian powers & traded principles for payoffs. Reform's leadership laughably claimed they barely knew Gill.

Will all this be on tomorrow's front pages?

On Wednesday, Israel killed 33 Palestinians, including 12 children, in its latest violations of the Gaza ceasefire. Those killed include Palestinian families trying to return home and others caught in Israeli attempts to assassinate Hamas leaders.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

The Mayor of London has told me in public just now he supports scrapping the two child benefit cap - when the Chancellor can afford to do so.

I asked him if he'd support a wealth tax on assets - and he refused to answer the question.

Labour always supporting the 1%.

It was determined by the ICJ in Jan 2024 that a plausible genocide was taking place.
Yet it continued unabated.
Condemnation are just words which don't stop the killings.
Removal of the means to the killings does.
The UK could ban arms sales/use of spy flights etc but doesn't!
Ask yourself WHY?

The Green Party of today is the Labour Party of yesteryear that gave us the NHS.
