The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Kemi Badenoch in “getting her facts wrong” shocker.

Once upon a time the UK had rent control, and minimum prices for milk, eggs etc for farmers. Then the billionaires took over and decided to let themselves rob us as much as they like. Time to take back control.

As Twitter dies trolls are looking at other media outlets to engage. Hide their replies. Then go to their profile and block them. Never engage. They will soon tire of their trolling if they get no response. Peace and Harmony prevails when we stick together.

Part of Laurence Fox's racist rant to Sangita Myska which he has since deleted, and which has been sent to the Police. Don't RT his shame. Or do.

No one should spend 12 years in jail for stealing a mobile phone. Its unthinkable. If you are not yet familiar with the shocking #IPPscandal, one of the most cruel & monumental injustices of the last half century, please watch & share this jaw dropping film youtu.be/nkBs2D0Wz_g?...

This is a great explanation of what is in the mind of the average voter- most aren’t interested in policy, but rather their PERCEPTION of how things are going and whether things are fair for THEM. And now social media is THE media that influences how they perceive the world

So, if Farage spends c. 130hrs/month on outside interests and gets paid £120,000 for that, then he won’t be earning his £91,000 MP salary at all. He’ll simply be taking it. Clacton won’t have an MP serving their interests. Just a grifter greedily leeching off prejudice and fear.

Brilliant news. Tory draconian law twisting crushed. goodlawproject.org/trudi-warner...

Charter City is a city within a host country. It operates beyond reaches of Govt & can create its own laws, judiciary & immigration policy outside the control of the host country. For ubercapitalists & r/w libertarians it’s a goldmine. Its anonymity creates problems- money laundering & tax evasion

July 21st (Sunday) was the hottest day ever on record on planet Earth. The most anomalously warm places were Antarctica and Western Canada where several hundred wildfires blaze, many out of control. July 20th pictured on the map (21st not available yet via Copernicus)

🚨 IOF soldiers directly opened fire on journalists, including the Al-Jazeera press crew, during the ongoing invasion of #Jenin, which is approaching its third day. At this moment, the IOF is sending reinforcements towards the hotel where press crews are staying.

My 5yo niece is an energetic, likeable problem solver. Doesn't mean she should be running the fucking country though.

“There should be no way somebody in hospital for whatever reason – mental health or physical – should be expected to attend a work-related appointment. They’re in hospital. They can’t possibly do that.” The Tories in government...disgraceful!

Happy #SocialistSunday lovely #JusticeWarriors 🦇 The abhorrent views of the right are dragging us further into the mire. We absolutely can't let their vile rhetoric become the norm. Let's stand together and send the message loud and clear #ToriesMustGo 🦇 Have a fabulous day everyone 😘

Sunak's government routinely tell people to get off their ar§es & get a job whilst simultaneously meeting with Space Karen to discuss AI potentially doing all of our jobs. AI does have its place in society... Just as Sunak's place is behind bars for aiding & abetting democide.

Never forget

We are just shy of 1,000 Bylines followers so please spread the word that the UK's leading Citizen Journalism publication is now live on BlueSky

This is an absolute insult to the thousands of people who got hit very hard by this imbecilic airhead wrecking the economy. It is an absolute disgrace, she should not be given a public platform to massage her ego and get paid hundreds of thousands.

Ceasefire Now

3.8 million people in UK live in destitution. Over double the number from 5 years ago. Of those, 1 million are children. Sunak removed the cap on bankers’ bonuses today. The worshipping of wealth. The absence of social responsibility. It’s just obscene.

If any of us did what this sex pest did, we would be arrested and get a criminal record, how does he just get a slap on the wrist? Rules for them, rules for the rest of us. #ToryCriminalsUnfitToGovern www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The Tories will deny this as they deliberately changed metrics on poverty to remove hundreds of thousands from official data 1m children in most extreme poverty as figure almost trebles since 2017 – report

With 19 Palestinian journalists killed so far, it's easy to assume Israel is targeting journalists but then you remember they're dropping more bombs in a week on Gaza than the U.S. would drop in an entire year on Afghanistan. It almost doesn't matter if these are targeted, the result is the same.

Happy Monday lovely freebirds. It's the start of a week off work, so like a complete idiot, I've arranged a really early appointment 😳😂 Must try harder! There's still storm and flood warnings in place for us uk folk, so please take care and stay safe. Have a fabulous day and catch you all later 💗

Sunak says the country "doesn't want a general election." Give this a retweet if you want a #GeneralElectionN0W
