Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Royal Mail boss’s pay package triples to £6.9m. Cost of postage stamps rocketing RM hasn't hit delivery target for 1st-class post since 2017, 2nd-class mail since 2020. Ofcom continues to reduce targets. Bosses rewarded for fleecing people.

Deluded politicians think UK households are resilient enough to fight wars. 13.4m people live in poverty. 25.3m, including 14.9m working age adults and 7.7m children live below the minimum income standard. 4.4m earn less than the real living wage. Real average wage hardly changed since 2008.

leftfootforward.orgWaging war on poverty and exploitation is the only way to build a resilient societyThe problems caused by neoliberalism cannot be addressed by bigger doses of neoliberal policies which prioritise profits and corporate interests over people’s welfare

NEWS: Bette Midler just released a new music video for her remake of "All You Fascists Bound to Lose"—featuring Barbara Hershey, other celebrities, and crowds from the No Kings protests in a joyful, powerful show of resistance. You have to see this.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history. Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes. But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year. Trickle down hoax.

They want you to believe some undocumented immigrant making less than $8 an hour picking tomatoes is to blame for all your problems while 5 billionaires are racing to become trillionaires by replacing your job with a robot. Wake up and fight back. -Warren Gunnels

NEW: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the United States has asked Ukraine for help intercepting Iranian-made Shahed drones, citing Ukraine’s battlefield expertise. Zelenskyy said any assistance will come only if it does not weaken Ukraine’s own defenses.

Trump: "This year we're investing $1 trillion in our armed forces. The most we've ever spent. And next year it's being raised. In fact, we're gonna be building a number of battleships."

Howard Lutnick misled the American people about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein because he didn't want to admit he continued interacting with Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor.   It's a disgrace. Lutnick needs to resign as Secretary of Commerce.

Lovely hatchet job on the monstrosity that is Suella Braverman. Crace covers it all; her dishonesty, disloyalty, nastiness, incompetence, her wild vanity… and her deep stupidity. How dare these utter arses think we’d be persuaded by their swaggering nonsense. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
