DOJ deleted the database tracking federal police misconduct, which included thousands of disciplinary records of federal officers. Exactly how is this getting rid of fraud, waste, and abuse? Because it seems like a precursor to massive fraud and abuse.

Ukraine represents truth. Russia represents lies. Every time we speak the truth, we support the war effort. Every time we reject lies, we help defeat the enemy. open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...

Listen to @lqlana.bsky.social. Elon’s puppet, F47, is stealing our money, but, he’ll try to fool you by giving you a pittance. To some, 5K will seem like a windfall, but in reality, you’re losing BIGLY.

The GOP convicted felon has launched a war on the American people & our constitution. We have guardrails to stop a rogue president. But are our lawmakers? Happy to be part of it & obey, in the foolish belief that THEY will be spared. Wait for the final irony. #Opposition #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

The campaign for a shorter working week grows as 200 UK employers sign up for permanent four-day working week. "The 9-5, 5 day working week was invented 100 years ago and is no longer fit for purpose. We are long overdue an update" leftfootforward.org/2025/01/200-...

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "We have 8,400 firefighters working the lines; 16,000 personnel; 2,500 National Guard trying to address the issue of looting; 750 CHP as we speak; we have the EPA starting to do phase 1 of the debris removal... All of that [rightwing disinformation] is a deep distraction."

🚨BREAKING: President Biden just notched his 235th federal judge confirmation, the most in a four-year term since President Carter, surpassing Donald Trump by ONE. That includes his record of appointing more Black women to the federal court of appeals than ALL previous administrations combined.

The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people passed $2 trillion last year. 12 people. $2 trillion. Meanwhile, U.S. homelessness increased 18% in 2024. Our problem isn’t an issue of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

Shoutout to South Korea. Their guy tried to pull a Trump and he got shut down and impeached within 24 hours. Gangsta democracy.

“Just three companies, News Corp (Murdoch family), Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT, Viscount Rothermere) and Reach plc, control over 80% of daily newspaper circulation… The hyper-rich continue to invest huge sums in acquiring control of media” We need a free press - ie free from the billionaires.

It's probably not a good day to remind people that Trump's son in law walked away from his White House gig with $2 billion from the Saudis. I'll wait until you're finished being mad at Joe pardoning Hunter for being his son.

Anyone, any entity, anywhere in the world can just pay him any amount (for anything he promises in return), and there's no disclosure of the payments, no oversight of any of it by anyone, and of course no potential bribery prosecution (of him) because... immune. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/24/u...

New data on farms and inheritance tax: a third of farm estates over £1.5m aren’t farmers but wealthy people avoiding IHT by sinking money into farmland. The Budget hits farmers too hard and tax avoiders too lightly. It needs to change.

Reform MP James McMurdock was jailed for repeatedly kicking his girlfriend. Nigel Farage and Richard Tice think he should write our laws. The Reform Party and anyone who supports them are trash humans.

It is no coincidence that a man jailed for repeatedly kicking his girlfriend is now an MP in the House of Commons and the US president elect has been found liable for sexual assault. The normalisation of VAWG comes hand in hand with chauvinistic language on display in the hard right

“Handing vital infrastructure to private investment companies will generate windfalls for investors and leave the rest of us worse off. We need a better plan.” A stark warning about BlackRock… they’re not here to help. They are here to seize control. That’s what they do.
