When children are shot in their classrooms, all politicians can offer are thoughts and prayers. When a shooting happens near them, they demand a $350 million golden ballroom to protect themselves.
Don't normalize a system that protects power more than it protects children.

Treating Trump as compos mentis is a choice being made by his Congressional party and administration, and therefore more reluctantly by other Nato governments too. But this appears to be clear a declaration of intent/ threat to commit war crimes by the leader of the United States of America.

Pete Hegseth — the most unqualified Defense Secretary in modern history — blocked the promotion of two Black & two women Army officers. These are servicemembers who earned their rank, served with distinction, and put their lives on the line for this country — & they deserve better than this mess.

We are starkly underestimating the impact of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. This is a much graver situation than people realise iandunt.substack.com/p/the-mad-em...
Text reads: "The Strait of Hormuz is not just an oil chokepoint. It is much more than that. In addition to oil it is a key transit point for liquified natural gas, aluminium, helium, petrochemicals and fertiliser. What we are seeing is akin to no-deal Brexit, in military form and on a global scale. It is a system-wide event with primary, secondary and tertiary causal waves which touch nearly all areas of the economy."

Yesterday, Jeffrey Epstein's former account testified, under oath, that the Epstein Estate paid a settlement to one of the women accusing Donald Trump of raping her as a minor, AFTER Epstein had died. This would end any other President instantly. But the press doesn't care.

Rise of the Nazis Reform UK to create ICE-style agency to deport 288,000 people a year, will terminate the status of those with indefinite leave to remain. It would leave the ECHR. How many would be shot, as by ICE? How many families will be destroyed? How many concentration camps?

Not surprising Farage hasn't bothered to announce a health spokesperson - his entire team is populated by politicians who broke the NHS. They've also forgotten about a foreign affairs spokesperson, but I guess they will take their orders straight from Trump's White House anyway.
