Fuck Trump
And all who support him

Our representative government is almost gone. We have a criminal conspiracy masquerading as a federal government.

They are doing virtually nothing for the average American.

Their focus is on personal wealth and power. And unwavering loyalty to the authoritarian ruler.

Rescue America. VOTE!

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Why Trump Is Partnering With Christian Nationalists | Robert Reich
Why Trump Is Partnering With Christian Nationalists | Robert Reich Donald Trump keeps comparing himself to Jesus.Whether he actually has a messiah complex or is just conning his supporter

Top U.S. military commanders have reportedly told their troops that Trump's War on Iran will "cause Armageddon and mark Jesus' return to earth."

It's yet another example of the dangerous relationship Trump has cultivated with Christian nationalists.

An excerpt from Jesse Jackson’s powerful speech to the Democratic National Convention on July 19, 1988.

May he rest in peace.

Is Iceland getting ready to join the EU? A new change in Iceland’s government means that joining the EU is back on the cards for Iceland.

"C’mon EU Vikings!

...Beyond a departing Iceland taking EFTA and the EEA agreements to under critical mass for any notion of a club of members, there are also the other aspects that could cause a domino effect upon Norway in particular."

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Epstein files: DOJ releases previously withheld FBI reports about sex abuse allegation against Trump The DOJ has released three previously withheld FBI interview reports from 2019 related to a woman who made uncorroborated allegations against President Donald Trump.

The DOJ released three previously withheld FBI interview reports from 2019 related to a woman who made allegations that she was abused by Trump in the 1980s, when she was a child.

Per Pam Bondi's DOJ, Trump's pedophile allegations were withheld by accident.

Nigel Farage said today, I’m not interested in public opinion. Just think about that for a while.

Pensioner with Alzheimer’s convicted over unpaid bill in car insurance mishap The 91-year-old man, who can no longer drive, was taken to court by the DVLA over an unpaid bill on his Renault Megane

British justice. Take these demented folk court so they can be both found guilty and convicted AND not having to pay any fine because an absolute discharge has been imposed on the case.

This is in the best interest of everyone and will benefit the huge backlog our judiciary currently faces!

Fantastic council by-election result.

Labour gain from Reform, with increased vote share for Labour.

This is an area where Reform have been in charge for 10 months and it's seeing votes switching from Reform to Labour.

Exactly as we said would happen when people experienced Reform!

This is what Badenoch, Farage, the Murdoch press, and Paul Marshall's stable of GB News weirdos want us to get behind, and you know what I'm good, thanks...

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

Anyone who wants Britain to join the war in Iran needs their head examined They don't know what they want to achieve, why they're doing it or what the consequences might be. They are lost in the void.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
