Biggest insider trading market manipulation scheme in history.

They aren't even bothering to hide it.

It's long past time to ban insider trading in Congress.

YES! 🙌 Do it! We all know that’s exactly what they did!

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this.

We can't. We need answers.

GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.

A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth.

HAIRCUTS.

This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

What the US is experiencing right now is fascism. There's no other word for it and pretending that it's verboten to say so diminishes the truth as much as they are diminishing the truth. It's fascism. It's arrived.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

How is this legal? How? Why is every top Democrat not outside the Treasury right now, holding a press conference at least? Or filing a lawsuit?? I am losing my mind.

Made this delicious Satay THIS is not Chicken tonight. From Green Chef.

Deleted my X account last night. Can no longer be part of anything that fascist owns.

Musk’s denials that it was a Nazi salute might be just that little bit more credible but for this.

The public have never been asked if they would like the NHS to be privatised, and yet governments have enabled infiltration of private companies into the NHS for the past 4 decades 🚨

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!

The NHS is collapsing because of the actions of politicians, and everyone deserves so much better than this.
