In 1971, the Jim Crow era was over, but oppression carried on. Jimmy Carter was sworn in as Governor of Georgia. In his Inaugural address, he declared “the time for racial discrimination is over”. President Carter always had the spine to speak up, no matter the cost of the cause. Be like Carter.

If this year taught us anything, it's that: 1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires. 2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers. 3) Poverty is a policy choice. 4) Health care is a human right. 5) Strikes work. I hope we act on these lessons in the new year.

So, for the most part, I think the whole honours system in this country is very weird, archaic and overly politicised, however, if there is one thing that a knighthood is appropriate for, it’s making sure that kids don’t go hungry. Well done, @london.gov.uk.

All Americans owe DC US Attorney Matthew Graves and his staff a debt of gratitude for their work to prosecute the 1,600 defendants who attacked our Capitol on Jan 6, 2021. Political violence cannot be tolerated. https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/united-states-attorney-matthew-m-graves-step-down-j…

Just a reminder that James McMurdock MP & Reform UK never apologised for lying about the nature of his conviction. They said he ‘pushed her’, when he actually kicked the shit out of her on the floor. And chief whip Lee Anderson is too weak to discipline him.

“The government knows a fair bit about delivery drivers that are employed directly by supermarkets. Your Tesco or Waitrose delivery driver is an employee … But the food delivery industry (is) run almost exclusively by self-employed gig economy workers” Here’s the answer. Proper jobs not gigs.

When people say 'run government like a business,' they mean cut services, raise prices, and pay the CEO 400 times more than the workers.

Mishal Husain’s last day on #r4today this morning. She’s the best of their presenters by far in my opinion. Capable of balance, & of rigorous, devastating interviews, without ever getting shrill, or hectoring & speaking over her interviewees. A real loss for the BBC.

We are asking Ukrainians to defeat the armies of Putin and Kim Jong Un. In their efforts to do so, Ukrainians helped bring down Assad. Ukrainian resistance is one of the most stunning military achievements in modern history.

90,000 American's are killed with guns every year and no cares. One of them is a CEO and they scream about it endlessly. Imagine if they had to live in the world with daily gun violence that 90% of American's have to.

Trump just said in a press conference that he wants Journalists who won Pulitzer Prizes for their reporting on Russian Influence and Interference in the elections, to give the award back and pay damages. Says his administration is "working on it". Russian Influence was NOT a hoax.
