It isn't just the lack of empathy, but the information illiteracy and rewriting history β€” immigrants are what made America great. Wave upon wave.

Never thought these words could be applicable to a Labour government:
”– I warn you not to be ordinary
– I warn you not to be young
– I warn you not to fall ill
– I warn you not to get old."
Neil Kinnock, 1983

I like libraries, public broadcasting, and a clean environment free for citizens to explore and enjoy.

I like education, liberty to express, and safety nets for the vulnerable.

I like justice weighted equally for those without extravagant resources.

These shouldn’t be controversial statements.

Video obtained by CNN shows the rear landing gear of the jet buckling and the right wing shearing away in a fireball after the plane landed hard on the runway.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

The vast majority of the country has no idea the Musk stuff is going on, and as long as there are no elected leaders of the opposition party out there creating friction for tv cameras, the hostile takeover of the country will advance rapidly.

Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

Elon’s response to a post simply naming the 6 people he has working for him inside our government. Apparently, it is a crime for the American people to know who they are.

A foreign-born private citizen with unfathomable wealth & deep financial ties to our nation’s adversaries has seized control of our government and is currently canceling congressionally apportioned spending without a shred of authority.

And no one seems to be able to stop him.

So this is fine.

How odd that when Trump announced his β€œdeal” with Mexico he failed to mention that the US committed to halting the flow of assault weapons from the US to Mexico. Why did he leave that out?

The death toll in Gaza has already been updated to 61,709.

The true scale of Israel's atrocities is only just emerging - and officials must face justice for every single life lost.

So should those who continued to send weapons, knowing full well they were enabling genocide.

NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev

Trump signs executive order to create sovereign wealth fund U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday ordering the U.S. Treasury and Commerce Departments to create a sovereign wealth fund.

it needs to be said that while democratic elected officials are trying to get into the USAID building which was shut down by musk, CNN and MSNBC are showing the entirety of a trump press conference.

A tweet by Michael McFaul (@McFaul) that reads: "In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights β€” ie causes that threatened Putin's dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want."
