If you don’t want history to be re-written please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call this boll**** out with the actual facts

Without trade unions we wouldn’t have • a minimum wage • maternity & paternity rights • pension provision • holiday & sickness entitlements victories which have benefited every single person in this country Ignore the Victorian pencil, Join a union TODAY youtu.be/jg0D2yNiqHM?...

With Nigel Farage and Reform UK again calling for the UK to leave the European Convention on Human Rights here is a reminder of why joining Russia and Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR is a very very very bad idea youtu.be/iSTN-h8NoyY?...

Elon Musk spent $277 million on the election. Now he’s basically running the country and cashing in to benefit his companies, get a massive tax break, and make you pay for it by cutting your health care benefits. Let that sink in for a minute!

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

Remember how many of us posted & talked about the dangers of Project 2025? Then, people didn’t vote & apparently didn’t believe us. Here’s a thread of graphics I made of Project 2025 plans that have already come to fruition. Feel free to use with an I told you so. 🧵1

"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope" - Dr. MLK Jr.

He who controls the media controls the narrative This TikTok drama is an example The capitulation of several news outlets proves Trump is taking over control of the narrative It is up to us to resist in advance To cancel news subscriptions that promote propaganda To post FACTS Stay Engaged

When the Supreme Court gave Trump immunity Everybody focused on what he might do to his political enemies While Trump has always really been motivated by the almighty buck Now he has the power to manipulate markets and extort businesses to his heart's content And there's nobody who will stop him

"Basic democratic principles and checks and balances will be largely undermined, the legislature, law enforcement and media will be robbed of their independence and misused as a political arm, Big Tech will be given co-governing power." www.reuters.com/world/us/ger...

On this eve of our MLK Jr holiday. We are all on edge. I have this feeling like we are at the end of democracy and my rights will disappear. I urge you all to not give up, that’s the easy way and it will end democracy. MLK Jr said it best but we have to help bend it further towards justice.

This is a pattern we’ll see over and over. Trump makes things worse, then takes great credit for making the problem he created better. Never really fixing things, just putting on a show to glorify himself.

May God bless and walk with you, President Biden. We will go to sleep tonight for the last time- Soundly and grateful for the stability and safety your presidency gifted us all. May peace find and keep you and yours.

Practice saying “No.” No, I will not take away that person’s dignity. No, I will not deny care. No, I will not turn against my neighbor. Go through dark times as the person you want to be when we get to the other side.

“Some patients are waiting days to be seen, with trusts using every inch of space to look after patients in corridors, physio rooms and even store cupboards, often without access to vital lifesaving equipment such as oxygen” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Officer Brian Sicknick was killed on J6 because of Trump — here’s what Brian’s father said ⬇️⬇️⬇️ "Trump makes sure he gets his face out there. The guy’s a criminal. He’s the reason my son is dead—because of the riot at the Capitol…There’s nothing good about that man."
