The fact that we decided to create a category of ‘sub-doctors’ who are less well trained, less well regulated, and considerably higher paid than experienced nurses is a travesty, honestly.

White House Eyes Overhaul of Federal Housing Aid to the Poor The Trump administration has considered sharply curtailing vouchers as part of its budget for the 2026 fiscal year.

Republican politicians want the poor to live in cardboard boxes in alleys so the super-rich can get a tax cut and buy their 8th yacht.

We sent NHS staff into a deadly pandemic wearing bin liners. Hundreds of them died. Separated from their families for months, they worked unimaginable hours, and saw thousands drown in their bed.

And these worms DARE judge them for doing something silly for 5mins to boost morale and keep sane? WTAF

I was wondering this too - in 2024 non-voting members were able to apply for a £500 grant towards the costs of attending Congress. This year it is capped at £150 which has effectively put Congress beyond the reach of members. Disappointing.

Oh no. You abysmal fools. You couldn't get any further from what the BBC is supposed to be.

'Nurse' title must be protected, says RCN | News | Royal College of Nursing The RCN is urging the UK government and political parties to back a proposed bill that will protect the title 'nurse'

We're backing a new Bill being introduced by Dawn Butler MP which would legally protect the title of "nurse".

This change would bring the UK in line with international best practices, helping protect patients. We're urging the UK government and other parties to back it.

The way to beat Reform is not to copy their policies on migration. Expose their lies at every turn. Tell people that their policies on a whole range of issues are unworkable and unfundable. Tell everyone that they want to do to the UK what Musk/Trump are doing in the US. #UKLabour

UNSTOPPABLE JOHN: How John Lewis Got His Library Card-and Helped Change History BY NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR PAT ZIETLOW MILLER, ILLUSTRATED BY JERRY JORDAN

When Congressman John Lewis was a child, he tried to get a library card. He was turned away & told “The Library is not for coloureds” 💔

He’s a civil rights icon, lover of books, recipient of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature.

“The Library IS for Everyone” 💚
#BlackHistoryMonth

As a casual non-white observer, it’s so bizarre to see folks work so hard to try to prove their superiority over someone like me when they could spend that time actually bettering their own lives and…I don’t know, be happy instead of miserable fucks.

Bishop Urges Trump To 'Have Mercy' In Powerful Plea During Inauguration Prayer Service Love this ❤️ And his reaction!

Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde.

Just take a moment to imagine the reaction to Barack Obama pardoning 1,500 black people, involved in a riot, which led to five police officers dying, calling them "heroes" & "hostages".

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

This is the person of the year.

Musk is reportedly considering a donation around 10x the size of the previous record donation. This is an Armada off Plymouth grade foreign assault on our democracy.

We need to act like it.

Over on X, Musk seems to be pushing his own posts directly onto users' notification pages, even if they do not follow him, in a category comically labeled 'Elon Musk' above the breaking news that 'Elon Musk posted'

He's making those X devs implement new levels of dear leader shit over there
