BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

If you work for ICE in any capacity - even if you’re only in charge of ordering their stationery - resign. Today. You’re the people future history documentaries will ask the question ‘How do normal people end up committing such atrocities?’ about.

If you’re banning bonuses for failing water bosses You should be banning all shareholder payouts from failing water companies If you follow this to its logical conclusion, you should be banning private companies from our water system entirely www.bigissue.com/opinion/tham...

Rachel Reeves vs reality: The economics of the two-child cap youtu.be/b3GFjLR0Wjs?... The government claims it cannot afford to pay benefits for the elderly, children in poverty, and people with disabilities. That is nonsense. Simple economic analysis shows that these benefits pay for themselves.

UK approach to bank frauds. HSBC fined $1.9bn in the US for money laundering. UK Chancellor Osborne, regulators protected it. No investigation. £1bn HBOS frauds: FCA/SFO passed the buck to LLoyds Bank. Promised report in 2018. None published. No inquiry. Corporate crime facilitated by the state.

HMRC admits not collecting £40bn tax last yr. Others say over £100bn. Big accounting/law firms, banks mastermind tax dodges. Rarely prosecuted. No big accounting firm prosecuted; get govt contracts. Fewer than FIVE criminal cases brought in 2023-2024, 16 in 2018-2019. Govts chase little people.

Like others, I understand why they released the fact that the perpetrator of the horrendous Liverpool attack was a white British man. But it is a bad sign of where our country of at. Nationality or ethnicity are not the causes of crime & should not be our first concern #r4today
