But will anyone do it? I've yet to see a leader stand up. They kowtow to billionaires, politicians, colleagues or the media, including what pollsters say, instead of standing up for peace - against the greedy facists & racists now waging war and causing suffering for so many people in so many ways.

This feels like someone's said 'AI isn't going away, so we need to make the best of a bad world with it', and then found a way to make the worst of a bad world with it. There is no ethical use of gen 'AI', and those who stole our creative output need to be held to account for that.

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

Burnham started his much-needed assault on Brexit yesterday by confirming Russian interference in the vote. Now this: “In a statement to MPs, Andy Burnham will argue it is time to "face up to the reality that Brexit has done more harm than good" and "the status quo is not good enough for Britain."”

Rejecting closer EU ties would be dereliction of duty, PM to say

Addressing the Commons, Burnham is expected to say that a new deal with the EU could help tackle illegal immigration and boost economic growth.

My worry is that the US regime recruits and hires people in the UK to make it look like Iran will attack the UK, which is how countries who would never have been at war are suddenly scammed into being in a war.
