Worth keeping in mind! And here's another great quote from Howard Zinn:

Tesla lost enough value today that it could have fully funded USAID for a year.

GSK to increase CEO pay packet from £10.6m to £21.6m a year. Corporate wealth is generated by workers. Will their pay increase by the same rate? No chance. Govt tells workers wage rises are inflationary. But hikes in exec pay, dividends, share buybacks are OK It is class war. archive.ph/3Q5ht

"Silencing a child’s firsthand account of survival in Gaza, where over 13,000 children have been killed since October 2023, is not about compliance but about erasing Palestinian suffering" artistsforpalestine.org.uk/2025/02/26/5... via @art4pal.bsky.social

The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

King Charles who loves killing foxes, birds, and badgers has been made Patron of the RSPCA. King Charles used his power to block a ban on Fox Hunting and to make sure it is the joke ban we currently have. RT if the RSPCA should remove him.

When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to £530m invested in Moderna. Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up. Like if you want Mone on trial. RT if you want them both facing the music.

There are calls for Lord Eric Pickles to resign from the House of Lords he complained to the Grenfell Inquiry that he was missing important lunches. Like if he needs to resign. RT if he needs to be fired.

To all my Bluesky friends, please join me in this effort to fight back and protect our democracy! 💙 #Resist

Corporate Welfare The owner of the Drax power reported £1.06bn pre-tax profit, its highest ever. Burns wood to produce UK electricity. Receives subsidies - will add up to £10bn from 2012 to 2027. Money straight from public purse to shareholders. Scam on every count.

“French MPs vote in favour of imposing wealth tax on ‘ultra-rich’ The proposed wealth tax would, apparently, only impact 1,800 across France - yet serve to raise at least €15 billion annually.” www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/fre...

“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

All political parties should take notice. People’s top priorities are… Financial stability and NOT Immigration

Shocking but not surprising.

Former Brexit Party MEP and ex-Reform Wales Leader, Nathan Gill has been arrested for taking "Russian-linked bribes" from Oleg Voloshyn. Here’s Nigel Farage with Voloshyn’s wife... #FuckFarage Edited version of @carolecadwalla.bsky.social BBC Article www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Well done France! UK next please!

UPDATE: The charges against her have been dropped “in the interest of justice” (she bit one of the brownshirts that assaulted her) and the private security firm has lost their license to operate. I hope she sues them into oblivion.

Europe has a solution for Starlink, it is faster and the quality is better. The IRIS 2 program. IRIS will make Starlink obsolete and provide permanent global coverage. The US, and especially Musk, are not needed. #IRIS #EU youtu.be/V-SXNVeNby0

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

MUSK LOSES BIG IN GERMANY Germany’s CDU/CSU wins big, while the far-right AfD underperforms in second—despite backing from Elon Musk and JD Vance. AfD is now likely to be completely shut out of the governing coalition.

Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%. That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.
