@MrJamesOB 1842 Chancellor refused Viscount Chelsea request for Chiltern Hundreds because of ‘nefarious dealings’, very similar to those of Nigel Farage. He should also have to wait till investigations are complete before he can call by-election

Progressive leaders in the Jewish community need to wake up and smell the coffee. The other organisers of the march do not want peace, justice, or any rights for Palestinians.

This only confirmed the rhetoric we saw earlier in the week. This wasn't a march to free the hostages, it was a march in support of the continued oppression of the Palestinian people.

The leaders of Progressive Judaism were just booed off stage at the 'March for the Hostages'. Why? Because they spoke in support of the Israeli ceasefire movement, said that only a hostage & ceasefire deal would get the hostages home safely, & that Palestinians have the right to self determination.

This is a very tough and painfully honest interview with an analysis of the inequalities within Israel (with regard to its 20% Palestinian population) as well as its current atrocities.

Buried in a Senate budget bill is a massive giveaway to corporate developers and fossil fuel companies. It forces the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management land in 11 Western states *every 60 days* until millions of acres are gone.

When Putin's partner Dmitri Medvedev says this, you do have to wonder even more about what Trump has wrought with the Iran attack: "A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads."

Timothy Snyder said recently that the resistance to fascism is sometimes highly organized, as with #NoKings, and sometimes develops spontaneously. This is the latter. L.A. resisters are finding hotels ICE agents stay in & making sure they DON’T get a good night’s sleep. apple.news/AHAGjsRINRmq...

Federal agents thought they could stay at LA-area hotels. Communities are trying to make sure they can’t — LA Public Press

When federal agents checked into a Pasadena hotel, they didn't expect hundreds of protesters and a day laborers’ band — now the tactic that kicked them out is spreading across LA.
