"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

So it begins. 10-year outsourcing contracts for private hospitals? It’s a sell-off. You don’t lock in health equity with private contracts to those who profit from illness. You lock out the public. The corporate takeover of our health system is now official policy. #PublicHealthCrisis #NZPol

Every time I post about the astronomical numbers (many, many billions) of wildlife annually killed by cats, someone replies with "MY cat doesn't do that". The evidence is crystal clear: many cats are exterminators, and the ONLY way to be sure yours isn't is by keeping it indoors, or not at all.

We do not need new roads; we need better transport options. Think of what could be done with £9.2bn, which is to be spent on just 14 miles of road! It could transform bus services and/or cycling and pedestrian infrastructure across Britain. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

Girl who skipped dinner so parents could eat - the true reality of UK child poverty. Human suffering is hidden by numbers. 16m Britons live in poverty. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. 50 families have more wealth than 34m people. Poverty is a political choice.

Grenfell fire was caused by corporate greed; calls for unlimited fines, ban on public contracts. 72 people died, no one prosecuted. Corporations responsible for corruption, bribery, tax dodges, sewage dumping, energy price rip-offs. We can have strong democracy or corporations, not both.
