The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.  Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.  Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Lucky for him, he still has the treasury to rob.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

🚨BREAKING CROSSPOST AFTER DDOS ATTACK Donald Trump Was Recruited by the KGB Under Codename ‘Krasnov’ Claims Former Soviet Spy Chief A former senior KGB chief claims Trump was recruited by them in 1987 due to his role as a prominent US businessman www.bylinesupplement.com/p/breaking-c...

More evidence of harms inflicted by private equity on US healthcare. Usual pattern: profiteering, hiking debt, low investment, poor patient care and safety. Yet UK NHS being handed to private equity without any evidence, 30%-40% public money vanishes in profits. Money buys less.

Posted minutes after the Commander of the ISS said Musk lied about the stranded astronauts in his Fox interview with Trump.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

It is time to end the special relationship with Trump. We stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦

I'm trying to think of a more abject coward than Donald Trump. ... ... Nope. I got nothing. You?

How’s this prediction going so far?

I would like to see a few British broadcasters read out every word of Trump’s latest ‘statement’ live on air & then remind us of their often lavish statements of support for him & then share some of their supportive words for Ukraine. And then we can all watch their brains explode…

It's come a lot sooner than I thought, but we (& every other country in the world) at a crossroads. We now have to decide if we're in the Trump/Putin axis of fascism or allied with others who respect democracy, freedom & truth. There's no middle ground & appeasement never works.

The British people will support Ukraine Trump and Putin are despised

It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for

Putin says Trump must go further before he’ll even agree to meet. Putin is entirely in the driving seat. The US has alienated its own allies, given Russia nearly all of what it wanted, bought Putin’s warped view of reality, and can’t even guarantee a meeting. The art of the deal, indeed.

What a piece of 💩

💥Peter Kellner: "I quite like using numbers to make sense of the what is going on. Yet sometimes they are not enough. If they were, the fact that Brexit has cost Britain’s economy 4-5% of GDP would be a major national scandal." A 🧵 with some of the most exposing stats from Peter's latest blog👇 1/

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

UK public services face cuts of up to 11% to fund defence spending. This to appease Trump, will hurt the less well-off, won't fuel economic growth. How about cutting corporate subsidies, taxing the rich, creating new money, chasing tax dodgers, ending profiteering, windfall taxes. archive.ph/wr0zC

Does Rachel Reeves have what it takes to run a successful economy? The signs look dire, but the jury's still out. But one thing's for sure, she's REALLY bad at politics. She (very publicly) sided with the banks against the voters. And achieved nothing except looking like an easily bought fool.

We need to change the way of things. The world is in such a precarious state, we have to declare our allegiance to what is right, not to what is traditionally expected of us. We need to immediately realign ourselves to our European neighbours & call out the vile, tawdry dealings of Trumps America.

NEW: Trump’s FEMA administrator just sent out an email ordering all employees to stop sending things to the media without prior authorization. It was immediately sent to me by a FEMA employee without prior authorization to share with you.

Pretty much sums up the Trump/Musk era. Big boasts, big promises, big failure.

Trump plan to enslave Ukraine. Demands $500bn “payback”, wants control of “mineral resources, oil and gas, ports, other infrastructure" in perpetuity, control economy. Ukraine must pay US before feeding its people. No penalty on Russia for the invasion. Politicians or gangsters? archive.ph/0El3f

Ed Davey has backed Keir Starmer’s plan to deploy British troops as part of a Ukraine peacekeeping mission, and accuses Reform of being ‘Trump bootlickers’

And around 33% are just intolerant. Of everything they don't agree with. What they don't agree with changes every time they get their musky social media fix, turn on their TV's/radios & tune in to the billionaire owned stations, or read the billionaire owned papers.
