It's true,the best revenge is living well

Such an important point. When we talk about the impact of policy we need to remember that the stock market moves at a different speed than housebuilding or other things we actually care about. It shackles us to short term thinking, focused on the wealth of a tiny minority. >

BIRDMAN OF ALCATRAZ Trump signed an executive order to halt federal funding for PBS, accusing Big Bird of spreading woke propaganda. Simultaneously he called for reopening notorious Alcatraz prison. Coincidence?

6.5.81 Bobby Sands MP (RIP) was buried today & only 11 people were in our class today although by R.E. there was only 7. We spent a lot of the time telling jokes and altogether the day was mostly free. Every class had a low attendance. Adam & The Ants are no. 1 – Stand & Deliver.

Simon Harris spoke in support of Gaza at the Global Ireland conference this weekend so it's a good time to email him to say that's great, well done, now please pass the Occupied Territories Bill to show real support for Palestinians. His email is [email protected].

Quite the payoff

When you read the proposed number in the first paragraph remember that ICE's budget last year was just under $10 billion

I totally get why some people want to knock all statues down, but have they considered Bergen’s absolutely demented statue of Henrik Ibsen

‘Contrary to common perception, and despite the apparent lack of empathy shown by some of its leaders, the EU holds significant leverage over the Israeli government. It is Israel’s leading partner in terms of trade, investment, and people-to-people exchanges." www.socialeurope.eu/gazas-descen...

Every time I hear about the freaks trying to push for raw milk I recall this poster and the fact that, in 1912, people would immediately familiar with what the baby on the left represented. because they'd likely seen children die that way
