94 year old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen arrested under the Terrorism Act outside andy burnham's Labour Party conference. UK taxpayers are funding these arrests while masked men terrorise the streets in coastal towns. Lift The Ban on Palestine Action.

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

A 94-year-old Jewish human rights barrister was among more than 80 people arrested outside the Labour Party conference in Liverpool while demonstrating in support of Palestine Action. The arrests came as Ed Miliband told critics of the government’s policy on Palestine: “We hear you. You were right"

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

Welp. Republicans distancing themselves from Trump, saying it’s time to end the war. Congress introduced War Powers resolutions to force Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from Iran. Ashley Hinson: NO Jon Husted: NO Tom Tiffany: NO They had a chance to end it, but they voted against it.

ICE injured a man they were trying to abduct, resulting in needing ambulance transport for him to Jersey City Medical Center. At the ER, goons posed as police to try and gain access inside. Jersey City PD assisted ICE and escorted them, demonstrating clear collaboration.
