The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Hasan Piker is saying that the conflation of Jews with Israel is putting Jews at risk. That is in inarguable fact. Both Israel's cheerleaders and antisemites are promoting this conflation. Rather than demonise Piker for stating the truth - oppose this dangerous conflation.

“The issue is that members of the audience responded with violence and, more importantly, Reform’s most senior politicians excused it. The party is MAGA-fying in front of our eyes.” Shehab Khan for Zeteo UK on the violence at the Reform UK conference:

In America, Donald Trump has shown us what happens when politicians laugh at violence from their supporters and suggest its victims brought it on themselves. Reform UK is MAGA-fying in front of us.

BBC Scotland just told viewers that Sarwar brought "charisma" to the post of leader of the Labour party in Scotland. Is this some different Anas Sarwar they're talking about? The real Sarwar ran a quasi-presidential Holyrood campaign so lacking in charisma it took Labour to its worst ever result.
