Officially old.

The Dream Team had a great day yesterday presenting our #AHRC funded research on #Orgreave at the #HAP25 conference at Senate House, UCL. It was very warmly received.

Why is the Pope asking people to pray for him? Surely they should all be celebrating him going to that ‘better place?’ 🧐

There it is, MAGA. Your deranged, dilapidated dullard Donald trump won't receive ANY prison time, but he's now officially a CONVICTED FELON. He's the ONLY so-called President to enter office as an adjudicated rapist and a convicted felon. Congratulations.

So what is wrong with us? Humans have gone to the moon, made unbelievable strides in medicine and science but here we are with people like Trump and Musk on the world stage. Maybe there’s one explanation. Information. Garbage in: garbage out.

Pretty damn spot-on, don’t you think?

Child Poverty % (children living in households below the minimum wage) Denmark 2.4% Finland 3.2% Norway 3.6% Sweden 3.6% The UK 32.1% All four of those countries have child benefits, paid by taxing the rich, that make it almost impossible for a child to be in poverty.

Occupy Democrats: If Republicans allow the Affordable Care Act's subsidies to expire in 2025 millions of Americans will become uninsured. Republicans don't care about the suffering of average Americans. Their entire political party exists to funnel more money to the rich and corporations.
