Fuck me, the amount of people trying to get this Manchester City cheating scandal to be called 'The Pepstein files' is going to drive me off a cliff. Take a second and think where the joke is here and what you are using to land it. Then stop it.

Here’s what we really need to focus a lot more discussion on — you don’t need to hate cars in order to want people to have the CHOICE to walk, bike and take public transit in your city. Better cities provide more choices, and work better for EVERYONE. Bad cities offer only dependency. #CarDependency

If you’re not from Missouri, you may not know that Eric Schmitt got his start in MAGA politics by suing public schools for mask mandates while their teachers died during a pandemic. The really strange thing? He never sued his own kids’ school for their mask mandate. He’s a piece of Schitt.

Paris has been praised in recent years for their visionary, progressive city-building, but they don’t get enough credit for just being really pragmatic! Everything they’ve been doing is common sense. They’re moving a lot more people with less space while cleaning the air and cooling the city.

There have been strong words of support for Palestine and protestors from Ed Miliband and the Labour govt. On arms, he has said the UK is not supplying bombs or bullets. A Channel 4 investigation found that the UK had supplied 110,000 bullets to Israel as well as £400k worth bomb and missile parts.

Well, well, well - if it isn’t the consequences of our own actions. It would appear that migrants are not, in fact, the fiscal drain we’ve been told they are by years if we go by the £4bn to £6.5bn shortfall that’s been caused by the precipitous drop in numbers under this government. Funny that.

Lets not forget that Palestine is still undergoing a genocide. It's not gone away. The press has stopped talking about it and people are forgetting the horror of it all. That's how people become manipulated.
