If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

One quick correction - The line below is open from *9am - 4pm* today - with thanks to @johnmclachlan.bsky.social & @lornawalter.bsky.social for highlighting this!

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

Now before it gets to this (!) stop supporting companies that support this madness. Honestly you soon realise you don’t need anything offered by any of the big tech companies. Let’s stay with reality.

Trump’s betrayal of Americans: He promised not to cut Medicaid—now he’s backing a House plan that slashes $880 billion from it. All to fund $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. He doesn’t care if families drown in debt, as long as he & his billionaire buddies get richer. Don’t Cut My Medicaid!

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

When will the civilised countries wakeup and realise you cannot deal with a madman, a misogynist, a felon? All you can do is sideline America till they come to their senses. All of us can play a role. Avoid the Meta’s, Amazon’s Google’s till they realise not to kowtow to a felon.

All Musk has is insults and lies. The astronauts are not even returning on his vessel.

Only in Reform. If only they understood the meaning of the word.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

The news on the Youth Mobility Scheme is fantastic to see. It now feels like we could get some real momentum underway in the lead-up to the May summit.

This is a poor headline from the BBC. The US aren't offering a "deal" - they want the minerals in return for support already given. It's straight up extortion.

Meta could have solely funded the ENTIRE WORLD'S 2022 CLIMATE FINANCE GOAL instead of this

About time one tech company had the courage to stand up for decency. Well done #Apple. Could never use Meta, Amazon or Google. Suggest others rethink their association with these companies.

share.newsbreak.com/bme4kx29 How sad. Indiana wants to stop free books for kids. #FUINDIANA

Two years ago, I made the decision to provide free school meals for all state primary school children in London. I’m proud to see the difference it’s made—helping children stay healthy and focused with a nutritious lunch while easing the financial burden on families.

Imagine If this had happened on American soil? Instead #American #UnionCarbide did a runner. India should hold them to account Instead of kowtowing to the felon. This is 40years on and they have had NO justice. cen.acs.org/environment/...

Ugh @BBC how often are you going to suppresses by those literally committing a genocide? Don’t believe Palestinians EVER voted for their land to be divided like this?

Dark skies reflect my sadness at the firings of all the humans that help keep the #GreatLakes as healthy as possible. Tonight I mourn the loss of the 14 @usfws.bsky.social employees that kept the invasive sea lamprey at bay. My fishery will be hurt. 😢😢🌊🌊

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

Yep, US aviation sector in crisis! FAA says it’s 3500 staff short. Sums up the US mess.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

I welcome the government’s announcement of multi-million pound funding to arts venues, museums, libraries & heritage institutions. We will continue to work with the government, councils and our arts and cultural organisations to make sure culture in London continues to thrive.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Another day, another post saying YET AGAIN, that the menace in the White House can get stuffed. Keep up the boycott everyone. Fight.

With 3 days still to go, the #StopFundingHate Crowdfunder has now raised almost *double* its initial target 👏👏👏 From today, we will expand our campaign to provide regular updates about GB News radio advertisers, as well as those on the main GB News TV channel. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/stop-gb-news
