πŸ’₯ Kamianske (a city near Dnipro) is currently under massive Russian drone attack. The likely target is energy facilities in the city.

The Americans, who really don't like public enterprise and are highly suspicious of government, have launched themselves into a war, the largest public enterprise of them all. Everyone involved, from the most senior admirals to the newest recruit, is a public servant on the government payroll.

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.

Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.

They are good for society and the economy.

London, San Francisco and Beijing achieve β€˜remarkable reductions’ in air pollution Cycle lanes, electric cars and other interventions have helped 19 global cities slash levels of pollutants by more than 20%

It is remarkable how much clearer the air is in Silicon Valley than it was ten years ago. Electric cars have made a huge difference

As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But I’m not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.

It’s pretty wild that we KNOW there is compromising blackmail on our current president and it’s just kind of ignored.

🚨 Asked about council tax promises, Nigel Farage just shouts:

β€œWrong! Wrong! Wrong!”

Then threatens to end the interview with Beth Rigby.

The man who sold Britain β€œthe easiest deal in history” still struggles with basic questions about the consequences.

This is what I have been waiting for. People need to stop assuming and/or speculating and let the facts reveal themselves. We also need the right leadership to say it publicly. This regime is gaslighting TF out of America.

trump has frequently highlighted a positive, friendly relationship with Putin, stating, "I got along great with President Putin. I liked him. He liked me,"
Seems odd that if they were such PALS why is Putin trying to help Iran beat trump ?

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

Chaos, instability, doubt, lies, deception, mayhem, corruption, theft of natural resources and taxpayers hard earned cash, oppression and destruction, you would think that is how the Islamic Republic has been governing Iran for all these years, but so has the USA!

The president has likely known from the start that what he’s doing is illegal - and when the Supreme Court told him to stop, instead of focusing on putting money back in Americans’ pockets, he found new ways to set illegal tariffs. This is un-American.

Coming up on 30 years since the Dunblane school shooting massacre (13th March 1996) and watching another documentary about it. The families wanted to end legal handgun ownership and we passed those laws. We’ve not had a school shooting since. I ache for all Americans who cannot get this done there.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per weekβ€”and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

Just a reminder that Iran did not always have this government, they had a socialist government and in 1953 the US overthrew it to protect the profits of BP oil, that is what fascists do and they are still doing it. What the US is doing today with Israel will only weaken the globe.
