Senator Slotkin Delivers Speech on Trump's Authoritarian Playbook
YouTube video by Sen. Elissa Slotkin Senator Slotkin Delivers Speech on Trump's Authoritarian Playbook

I believe that Trump is ready to bring the full weight of the government against Americans he perceives as enemies. Why? Because he has one goal: making sure he and his ilk never have to give up power.

Watch my speech on President Trump's authoritarian playbook.

But political parties, corporations & oligarchs don't care for short-term profit, just want you to believe what they're telling you.
Their reward comes from the future compliance of the citizens.
Reality is, licence sys would never be allowed by governments
US, 1st Amendment?
UK, politics = lying.

The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years.

CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years.

But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kidsโ€™ futures.

Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.

Political & commercial pushed content is heavily biased (dis)information designed to manipulate & obfuscate the reader.
Does anyone believe the current political implosion of the US would have happened if respected journalists were telling the truth?

What proportion of viewed articles are provided by journalists (actual or self appointed)?
I'd guess the vast majority of content is social media swamp water excreted by AI fueled bot farms.
News organisations today are in the business of pushing monetised click-bait.
Real news has left the industry

We're all paying a 35% 'privatisation tax' on water bills. ๐Ÿคฌ

Money that is flowing straight out of our wallets and into the pockets of banks and investors. ๐Ÿ’ธ

We cannot afford privatisation one minute longer. Pubic ownership NOW.

The Great Free Zone Swindle: How Parliament Was Bypassed and the Public Kept in the Dark

Not only did he bankrupt his own casino (it takes a real incompetent to do that when the house always wins!) it looks like he's trying to take the others down as well.

If I were him, I'd be worried about gentlemen in Italian suits paying a visit!

Unfortunately, Labour leadership aren't listening to either the members or the unions, they're listening to Blackrock and their chums.

Would unions allow the dubious adoption of Freeports & Special Economic Zones?

Privatisation is ripping YOU off!

On a ยฃ500 water bill, ยฃ175 of YOUR money is going straight to banks and shareholders. ๐Ÿค‘

That's ยฃ175 not being invested in fixing leaks or stopping sewage pollution. ๐Ÿคฌ

They canโ€™t scrap the NHS while you still care. So they start by saying it โ€œwasnโ€™t really built.โ€ Thatโ€™s not analysis. Itโ€™s strategy. Watch how they soften you up to let it go | The Bear

The ONLY safe solution going forward is FULL nationalisation.
Public services must wholly serve the public. No for-profit structure provides value for the taxpayer. Every penny given away in dividend or bonus is a penny not spent on new infrastructure or maintenance.
Same applies for NHS & others.

And how much of the ยฃ104bn comes from the public? Private investors will want a healthy return. Water companies will continue to redirect income to dividends & bonuses.
Without a real regulator that has the power & will to police the industry, the water Co's will continue to siphon off max profit.

โ“If the government admits that First Past the Post is unsuitable for mayoral elections, why does it intend to keep it in place for general elections?

Thank you, Sarah Olney MP, for raising this issue in Parliament.

Whatever the election, FPTP is not fit for purpose. It must be replaced.

The only way to truly make Brexit work...

...is to bury it six feet under and join the EU as full members again. That way Brexit can fulfil its true function as a blip in history that serves as an important cautionary tale.

Misdirection.

Meanwhile, your healthcare, personal data & freedoms are ripped from your grasp as the Constitution is blatantly ignored by felons & ne'er-do-wells.
