Wonder where all the MPs with integrity went? Wonder where all the journalists who tell the truth went? There are a few, and I follow them

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files. Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas. You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

Fun Fact: Todd Blanche is already in violation of the federal law that requires release of the Epstein files. The most powerful federal law enforcement officer is breaking the law.

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

Hear, hear. The old and the disabled deserve to be treated with respect.

I wish more people understood the terror disabled people face when dealing with housing insecurity, poverty and unsafe caregivers. Many in the community are forced to rely on abusive people for survival. It shouldn’t be this way. We desperately need more support & resources.

Over to you, Mr Bezos ------

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Scared to lose their very lucrative positions? Bribed? Named in the Epstein Files?

The founders believed that if a madman became president, members of Congress would serve the country’s interest and remove him from office. That seemed a reliable system to safeguard the republic. Boy, did they screw up.

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal. Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

Well done Hastings.

Please take action. TalkTV is airing attacks on trans people without broadcasting the views of those who support trans rights. Call on Ofcom to take action:https://goodlaw.social/66f6a3

All those private healthcare donors watching Wes cash in on their investment. "No money left" is a political fiction used to protect the super rich from fair taxes. Rather than take different political choices, Health Secretary is acting like an influencer for privatisation.

By 2030, 1 in 4 women in developed countries will remain childfree. Up to 45% will be single by choice. Society will frame this as a crisis. Governments will panic over birth rates. This is about choice though… It's about women walking away from the roles that kept men comfortable and powerful.

Presenters of #r4today have normalised the need for nearly 3,000 food banks to the extent they no longer mention their existence. However make a suggestion about a wealth tax and the animation of those on the show (completely unconcerned about themselves of course!) is palpable.

From a post on 'X'. 1/3 The safety of the entire world is now threatened by one violent, racist, colonial regime that is on trial for genocide in the ICJ and led by a deranged lunatic who is indicted by the ICC for crimes against humanity.

2/3 Every drop of blood spilled now is the predictable product of those in the West who created this Frankenstein monster and built a wall of impunity to protect it, those in the Middle East who bowed down to the beast in hopes of appeasing it and its ruthless imperial master, and ---

3/3 ---those across the globe who have refused to stand up to the monster’s serial crimes. The world needs to get up off its knees and hold the regime accountable, before it’s too late.

Nothing is as diabolical as the IDF, Netanyahu and his fellow psychopaths.
