WHAT? @ledbydonkeys.org message

Just appalling. It seems Tommy Robinson (whilst on bail?) and Elon Musk can cause massive disruption and fear and make hideously offensive speech without arrest but not entirely peaceful @ledbydonkeys.org and not anti- Palestine genocide protestors

Drones in Poland are another unsettling post-Alaska escalation by Russia Kremlin’s war in Ukraine has spilled over into Nato country – but whether to create fear or test response, aim is unclear

Whatever Donald Trump discussed with Vladimir Putin in Alaska last month, the outcome has only been a stepped increase in Russian aggression that has now forced Nato’s military into action. On Tuesday night 19 Russian drones entered Poland's airspace.

The President of the United States is a pedophile child sex trafficker conman who is destroying the American economy and democratic republic in order to install a Techno-/Christo-fascist Kleptoligarchy whilst helping a Russian dictator to start World War II.

And that’s not even the half of it.

Schumer moves to force vote on Epstein files release in brazen breach of Senate protocol | CNN Politics Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer moved on Wednesday to force a vote on releasing documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, putting the contentious issue front-and-center in the chamber.

Good for Chuck!πŸ’ͺ

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Please make this moron's head explode by repeating this simple fact.

Brexit meant the end of our extradition treaty with France and the start of the Small Boat crossings.

There’s an obvious way to challenge Nigel Farage. But Keir Starmer won’t do it | Rafael Behr Labour’s reluctance to name Brexit as the cause of so many problems hasn’t stopped Reform’s rise. It’s time to try the truth, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

Farage’s β€œprobity and judgment were sold as the product called Brexit. It turned out to be a piece of shit.”
And, unbelievably, this Labour govt finds itself trapped because it has refused to call this out.
What a profound - and now dangerous - political failure.

Sign the petition: Stop all UK support for the Israeli military in Gaza I've signed a petition calling for Keir Starmer to end all UK military support in Israel.

Israel plans to take over Gaza City. Starmer says their plan is wrong & they must rethink it, but the UK is still supporting Israel with arms sales, training, RAF surveillance flights & more. Sign the petition: tell Keir he MUST end this support: 38d.gs/hwpb?utm_cam...

Judge Blocks Trump Administration Tactics in L.A. Immigration Raids
