America you would already have #nokings if you ban big money from politics and get #bigtech out of your private lives!

Proud Boys & Trump's incels plan to attack cops at "No Kings" protests, so Trump can send in the military. EVERYONE must hear this: If you see violence, SIT DOWN. Leave only the provocateurs standing. Do NOT let them win!

The No Kings Protest is a peaceful one but as we have seen in the past, you can expect paid actors to try to invite violence. Do not fall for this. Let them be the one the Media, Police and ICE notices, not you. Stay safe. #NoKings #freedom #NoKingsDay #WeThePeople #SaveOurDemocracy

Salesforce Offers Its Services to Boost ICE Immigration Force The San Francisco-based firm has told ICE that it could use A.I. to help the agency nearly triple its staff. The company’s C.E.O., once a progressive tech titan, has embraced President Trump.

Ew. Another former progressive #techbro succumbs to the #BillionaireMindVirus and bends the knee to Chump.

Tell Meta no to stalker ads: Urge your MP to sign the Early Day Motion Take action! What's the problem? Meta is denying people their legal right to object to their personal data being used in targeted online adverts. This is despite the outcome of a legal case brought by campaigner Tanya Carroll, which Meta settled in March 2025. Meta said they would stop using her personal data for direct marketing, based on her legal right to object under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Since then thousands of people have asked Meta to stop using their personal data. Meta took months to reply.

Come ON people - this is easy, and it needs to be done. Billionaires gotta hear the word "no"
