Nigel Farage has announced a Robin Hood Tax in which billionaires could pay a one off fee of £250,000 and then never pay tax again on their £800,000,000 a year average income. The Robbing You Tax would cost you £37bn a year.

If we have to be forced into a war in the Middle East by our convicted felon and sex pest conspiracy nut leader, I can't think of anyone better to lead our military than an drunken lout of a Fox News host who never washes his hands after using the toilet.

NYC friends: this poor dog was almost on his freedom ride out of the pound when his foster didn't show up on him. He's now in danger of being put down. Do you have space in your home and heart to adopt him? ❤️ Also, lots of animals at this NYC shelter who need a home. nycacc.app#/browse/225834

BREAKING: According to the New York Times, U.S. intelligence believes Iran removed approximately 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% purity from the Fordow facility prior to the strike. The current location of this nuclear material is unknown to the United States.

Welp.

Take note.

Of all the things making me feel unsafe right now, I can honestly say Palestine Action is not one of them….

As I keep saying, he really is quite literally, going to kill us all.

The UK has a Christian Concern government - "Labour MPs are attempting to launch the most “draconian” clampdown on sex work devised in Britain in decades, campaigners have warned." novaramedia.com/2025/06/17/s...

This is from 2023 but nothing's changed. It's worse, in fact.

“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.

The active duty soldier who was placed in on an involuntary mental health hold after speaking out about ICE abuses has been released. He was given no treatment nor diagnosis and no reason for the hold.

Strange how, when the BBC platforms transphobic hate groups it never sees the need for balance. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Always.

I'm a human rights lawyer. I have represented immigrants & asylum seekers my entire career. As you see ICE increase its attacks on immigrants, here are steps you as a US citizen can take to be an ally & protect immigrants from ICE and CBP absue.

“Our ability to speak out on important issues is fundamental to a functioning democracy and Liberty’s case has sent that message loud and clear to the government” The government must now review ALL arrests made under these unlawful powers

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

San Padre Island was denied an expansion to their Convention Center because of loss of habitat but across the channel Spacex has lots of acres that kill everything with their launches, and has a town that closes the public beach when it wants! Something doesn't seem right!

WATCH: “You’re a U.S. senator and you don’t know anything about the country you want to topple.” Tucker Carlson embarrasses @sentedcruz as he pushes for war with Iran

The grifter did another grift. Amazing how many fell for this con.

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

So true....

Obama signed a Nuclear Deal with Iran that meant they would never get a Nuclear weapon. Donald Trump tore it up. Now he wants to wage a war for a problem he created.

Shelagh Fogarty started her LBC show with a blatant pro-life lie. Pregnancy CANNOT be “legally aborted up to 9 months”. Abortion isn’t decriminalised. It’s still only allowed until 24 wks. Two docs (who could face arrest) must sign it off. She’s an idiot that’s spreading disinformation.
