WHY is everyone upset? Inequality. It's so obvious. This is US data, but same happened worldwide. In the 70s-80s the economy became rigged - tax cuts, deregulation, unions broken, etc - and all gains started going to the wealthiest. In the US $79 TRILLION was transferred away from working people.

As the climate crisis hits harder the billionaire-owned "news" media mentions it less and less.

This is the US. Other countries same or worse. That 1% also increasingly controls the "information environment" so you won't be hearing much about what this means and what can be done about it.

The Prime Minister posted this - on Musk's propaganda site!! His account draws others, which enriches Musk. He, Labour and the govt do NOT have accounts on Bluesky. (I have a pre-Musk legacy account and do not post.)

I can't believe it but this is actually good. I don't know if it's the same in the US. There are some good non- and low-alcohol (0.5%) beers here in the UK.

For those who don't know. 50% of Americans hold 1% of stocks. Income and wealth distribution are also skewed to the top.

Corrupt bargain after corrupt bargain. Everyone knew eventually there would be consequences, but worry about that later.There's money to be made. It's later. Climate crisis accelerating. Political corruption led to right-wing/oligarch/corporate rule, resulting in expanding war & economic crisis.

May Iranians, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe.
May Palestinians, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe.
May Israelis, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe.
May U.S. citizens, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe.
May all the war-mongering authoritarians be deposed.
And may they one day experience real justice
For all the suffering and death they cause.

They're afraid all those dead Brexit voters won't vote for them if they do.

If you think there is a line Trump will cross and lose his supporters, please Google "Jim Jones" or "drinking the Kool-Aid". It's a cult. There is no line. This is a photo of Republicans in Congress reaching their crossed "line":

Starmer's Labour is afraid to do something about Brexit. They fear they will stir up literally dead voters. Meanwhile new voters & Labour voters want something done.

America, here's the reason for Trump. The Obama admin didn't spend money to get people employed & cared for. So the job recession went on and on. Trump got in. Biden learned from that, but Republicans & "centrist" Dems blocked help that would have been FELT before 2024 election. Trump got back in.

For those who don't know, this was posted by the Secretary of State for the Home Department of the UK government. This was posted on the Nazi website X.

It's not about "immigration. It was never about "immigration." It's about white nationalism. It's about race. US and UK.
