53 days of Trump. It’s hard to quantify the damage already done. But it’s historic. The world is far more dangerous. America’s reputation is trashed. Trust with allies is broken. Citizens betrayed. Trade wars. Aid withdrawn. How can Republicans bear it? The shame should ruin them. Guilty forever.

Protests in Argentina violently repressed by police who decided to attack pensioners during their weekly protest against Trump and Musk ally Javier Milei’s pension cuts. The cuts have plunged the elderly population into severe poverty ramping up autogenocide. #3E Here police shoot at an elder.

Regressive National Insurance (NI). UK employees pay 8% NI on incomes between £12,570 & £50,270. 2% above that. Rich pay a lower proportion of income in NI. Govt can charge higher rates in incomes above £100k, £150k, etc. Collect £bns. No need for austerity. Tax the rich.

“Trump has always been a fan of Brexit because it weakened the EU and because an isolated Britain is vulnerable to economic colonisation” “Avoiding conflict should not be confused with significant leverage” Far from ‘freeing’ us, Brexit keeps us trapped and weak. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump's attacks on the Department of Education should remind us never to elect to high office anyone without a stake in society. We suffered the same in the UK from 2010, when people who used private healthcare and private schools ripped up public services.

Donold is now classifying protests at Tesla dealerships as ‘domestic terrorism.’ Protest at a Tesla dealership and you get arrested as a terrorist. But attack the Capitol and you get a pardon.

HERE IT IS… Elon Musk wants to slash “entitlement spending” to cut the budget—which means Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are on the chopping block. He claims the waste is in “entitlement spending,” and lies that undocumented immigrants are collecting benefits.

Meanwhile, over on X, Elon Musk is having a standard one over which enemy government and/or digital supervillain is behind the globalist deep state woke driven cyber plot which led to him sacking all his staff & not maintaining his servers properly because he’s always got his hooter in a bag of ket

In The Guardian today. Perhaps goes some way towards explaining Musk’s total lack of empathy for the people whose lives he’s ruined.

"Trump’s economic plans are incoherent and incomprehensible at least partially by design. The goal, by this longtime scam artist, is to bamboozle the American people and take their money."

Over the last few weeks, we have seen displays of unfettered cruelty. Cruelty isn’t power. It’s a primal display of weakness and ignorance. Kindness and empathy are intelligence. We must never forget that.

Trump and Musk are dead set on extinguishing the flame of hope for millions of Americans suffering from deadly diseases like Alzheimer’s. Their draconian cuts to the NIH would strip research groups of hundreds of millions of dollars. SIGN HERE to demand Trump restore funding for disease research!👇
