I don't recall such a media frenzy over previous PMs- or at least not the Tory ones. Virtually no focus on victims from media so outraged by British grooming gangs. Where is the outrage for these girls and young women, trafficked and abused?

With the international community continuing to enable Israeli policymakers to evade accountability for their crimes, Israel has killed at least 89 Palestinians in Gaza in the last 5 days. Since the declaration of the โ€˜ceasefireโ€™, Israel has killed 559 Palestinians in Gaza.

Honestly, I'm so tired of explaining how fkn terrible Elon Musk is for human civilization, and how fkn clear and present the danger is to all of us, while knowing that none of the ever shrinking few who have the power to stop him, actually have the will to do so.

Hanover warehouse owner pulls out of potential Virginia ICE facility deal The company, Jim Pattison Developments, put out a statement Friday afternoon saying the deal would not proceed.

VICTORY: After thousands of locals protested, called, and gave public comments, a company halted the sale of a Virginia warehouse to DHS to be used for immigrant detention.

DHS wants to buy 23 warehouses nationwide. Resist all of them.

A new report indicates that zero net migration would shrink the UK economy by 3.6% and likely force an increase in taxes, as well as being cruel, inhuman and impractical.

Migration is good for our country. Inequality is the problem. Tax the super-rich.
