Ask yourself why your not joining this man and this movement Ask yourself why the democrats are not following his leadership youtu.be/39naUJnnRoY

Former senior Canadian intelligence officials warn that Canada needs to be alert for destabilization campaigns by the United States, in particular through X. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

"A 3rd world war looms; the sole force holding it back is Ukraine’s unyielding courage — the willingness of Ukraine’s bravest sons & daughters to sacrifice everything for freedom. We can’t ask more of Kyiv, but we can and must demand more from Moscow." #StandWithUkraine thehill.com/opinion/inte...

Auchincloss: "It would help if the administration would stop telling Russia that it has all the cards. It's not a great way to negotiate when you grant leverage to your enemy. Russia does not have all the cards. They have double digit inflation ... "

There's every chance Musk will come with Trump on his state visit to the UK. #StateVisit #DumpTrump

If Tesla's stock drops far enough, the bank loans Elon took out to buy Twitter lose their collateral and get called back immediately. Which is why Elon is panicking, Trump is panicking, and their shadow backers are all panicking.

The 'American Dream' wasn't just an American aspiration. It was an aspiration for peoples of all nations. I believed in it, and thought people of any class, colour, nationality could become an equal in the US and have a stake in its democratic values, ideals, its future and its prosperity.Past tense

I am in shock at the stupidity of @gavinnewsom.bsky.social inviting Steve Bannon on his podcast. Many of us on the right sacrificed careers to fight Bannon, and Newsom is trying to make a career and a presidential run by building him up. Unforgivable and insane

Some people can work. Some can, but not right now. Some never will. All are equal. I do not deserve more state support just because I’ve been able to work at times. Disabled people shouldn’t be ranked by ‘productivity.’ We deserve dignity, full stop. #DisabilityBenefits

By voting for the CR, Rep Jared Golden just gave the GOP a talking point of “bipartisan bill” and he also just voted to give up all leverage in pushing back against the administration. The spending power is congress’ only power. While i usually applaud bipartisanship, this is a travesty

DOGE just sacked half of @usedgov’s workforce, including lawyers defending students with disabilities. If these chainsaw massacres are so popular, why don’t they bring them to Congress first? How many cases do they have to lose?

I love the fact that they are aiming at red states. The EU duties aim for pressure points in the U.S. The tariffs primarily target Republican-held states, hitting soybeans in Speaker Mike Johnson’s Louisiana, beef and poultry in Kansas and Nebraska and produce in Alabama, Georgia and Virginia.

From today, and every day that traitorous rapist sack of shit is corrupting our country, I will post #TrumpWillNeverBeMyPresident

Dump chose not to appear with worried working people but to prop up the share prices and wealth of the world’s richest man with a bizarre sales pitch for Tesla on the White House South Lawn. Stock market declines have wiped billions from Americans’ retirement accounts. www.cnn.com/2025/03/12/p...

Civil Rights Are Dead Hi Marcie, This is John Cohen. I'm sorry to tell you the entire Cleveland office was fired yesterday. I'm sorry for what that'll mean for kids in Ohio & Michigan. None of us can send external emails, so you'll not be hearing directly from anyone here. Sorry again. -John

Bernie Sanders is the epitomises what ALL politicians should aspire to be. He cares about people, he cares about his country and he cares about democracy.

Rachel Reeves is true to her word. Prior to the election she stated she was going to go after the sick, disabled and the unemployed. The £6bn ripped from them will help kill others in Gaza and Ukraine

Great to see @kirstysnp.bsky.social's hard work being recognised in this year’s #wiw100 List 👏 Kirsty has campaigned relentlessly for fair access to benefits, and with Labour planning to cut support for people with disabilities her voice is needed now more than ever.

👇🏾🤬

TUC General Secretary Paul Nowak has just warned #DisabilityBenefits cuts will push people into hardship, alienate the public, and repeat the failures of Tory austerity. Labour has a choice: learn from history or relive it.

Florida voters, you can SAVE America & Stop the chaos!

Like this was never on the cards. Yes I still feel aggrieved at my treatment, But I wish her no ill whatsoever. I sincerely hope she finds a rewarding job which brings her happiness & contentment. news.sky.com/story/nicola...
