Every accusation is an intention.

Labour’s 1.5m homes will be dominated by private equity firms charging huge rents. Profiteering, high debt, substandard service, tax dodges are private equity norm. Let councils, not-for-profit organizations build homes. Don't deregulate. Build homes, not slums.

In the words of that marvellous protest sign making the rounds on various socials, “Respect my trans homies or I’m gonna identify as a f**king problem” #protecttranspeople #protecttranskids #transally

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

This cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social is getting banned on Twitter. Because of course it is.

The “But, her emails!” crowd’s quite conspicuously silent right now, so it was clearly never actually about national security.

This is some 🐂💩

from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.

Thank you to everyone who has joined the resistance! Our ranks grow stronger every day.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Absolutely unacceptable. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social do not let this happen to the NHS. Private equity is *not* an appropriate steward for a public service. Demand for profit destroys quality of life in the USA every day. Protect the NHS & the people of the UK from this disgraceful money grab.

Mr. Patel has been directly involved in secretly orchestrating a purge of career officials at the FBI. Emil Bove, then acting No. 2 at the Justice Department, fired career civil servants solely at the request of a private citizen.

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

Why aren’t we looking into corporate welfare? In the United States, it costs taxpayers billions each year, with estimates ranging from $92 billion to $100 billion annually. Meanwhile, USAID costs only $40 billion. Hmmm… doesn’t add up.

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

Trump is considering executive action to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education

President Trump is considering declaring a national “economic emergency” to justify implementing a series of universal tariffs and establishing the Department of Government Efficiency.

Please Participate If You Can. Kindly Repost! 💙😎

Let me say this clearly. The tariffs are a money grab. Less money in the hands of the American people due to the new 25% tax on goods. More money to distribute to his cronies in the form of tax cuts. See how it works?

UK govt targets old, sick, disabled. Long-term sick need to find jobs. Face benefit cuts of £5k a year. This after two child benefit cap, winter fuel payment cut. 6.3m await hospital appointment, 2.8m chronically ill Govt won't tax wealth; increase capital gains, corporate tax archive.ph/zDPGT

This is a thread about book banning. Right now, today, books are being pulled from shelves in libraries and classrooms, some by direct order, some in fear of what's coming. This is *exactly* what Project 2025 said was going to happen. Make no mistake: this is not about books; it's about people. 1/8

Bonkers. Rather than start to plug the 4% of GDP (£40bn+ in taxes) Brexit hole in the UK economy, this PM would rather start cutting disability benefits, winter fuel allowance for pensioners, and 5% from the budgets of every govt dept apart from the NHS & education Is this the change you voted for?

I was fully expecting the UK post Brexit to fall into full fascism, but in my naivety I presumed it'd be happening under a Tory or UKIP government and not a "Labour" government.

Yup. Keep ignoring history at your peril.

When George Takei says pay attention to history, ya darn well better do it. #helivedthroughit

I believe the general internet tradition on these kinds of things is well known. techcrunch.com/2023/04/21/m...

Absolutely this. Give N4zis no quarter. None.

#wikipedia Says the Same Thing - 😁

They really are.

I will forgive and forget January 6th when I’m dead.

Welcome to the plutokleptokakistocracy! Where the ultra wealthy steal from you and run the country in the most insanely inept way imaginable.

Yep. That sums it up. Catch up now with our daily bulletin 👉 www.meidasplus.com/p/today-in-p...

As if we didn’t already know he’s a flipping N4zi, he blatantly shows it off with a double salute (plan for him to play it off as something else entirely).

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn

Free school meals 'would tackle child poverty', help families too. England govt should emulate Scotland, NI and London. 5.2m children live in poverty. Free school meals to all primary/secondary pupils would cost £2.5bn. End tax perks of the rich. Save the future. www.bbc.com/news/article...
