Elizabeth Holmes is not the face of motherhood for incarcerated women. Jazmin Valentine wailed in agony for 6 hours in labor while staff and nurses LAUGHED at her. She had to resort to sliding her amniotic sac under her cell door to prove she was in labor.

There would be such a positive domino effect if we abolished the parasitic monarchy. They can keep one house each and we should expropriate the rest. The UK’s inherent inequalities flow down from the Windsor crime family.

The core Sovereign Grant for King Charles from public purse will rise to £99.9m (from 2027/28). 93% increase from £51.8m in 2024/25. 65% higher in real terms than in 2016/17. Did your income rise at that rate? 25.3m people live below minimum income standard. We are in it all together, aren't we

the informal term of art I have adopted for stuff like Hegseth’s gender act and phenomena like ‘Mar-a-Lago face’ is ‘cis drag’
