“Your government might deport the children of refugees who've been born in this country, who've known no other home… is that really the kind of actions of a Labour government led by a former human rights lawyer?" Laura Kuenssberg

Trump not only caused the Jan 6th riot and attack on our capitol to happen, he actively sat back and let it go on when he could have stopped it. Plus it was done specifically to block certification of an election that he lost. Traitor.

Just in case you haven't figured it out yet, one of the reasons the Epstein files are taking so long to be released is that Trump is accepting bribes from other rich, powerful men who are in them to have their names redacted too.

Americans are always blaming Brazil for failing to protect the Amazon. But we deforested our Amazon in the 1800s! Indiana was once 85% forest, and Indiana’s soy is farmed the same way as Brazil’s. Stop pointing fingers, start helping Brazil protect the Amazon.
