NEWS: Huge first win for Mayor Mamdani’s tax-the-rich plans in NYC.
Mamdani just secured a deal with Gov. Hochul to create the state’s first-ever tax on $5 million+ second homes owned by ultrawealthy out-of-state residents.
Wow, Mark Carney speaks on multiculturalism (what a contrast to island of strangers Starmer!)
Mark Carney, "Canada is a nation forged through accommodation, not assimilation"
"Through partnership, not domination"
"The founding insight of our country is that unity does not require uniformity"
Foreign secretary Yvette Cooper is claiming "we weren't involved in the start" of the US bombing of Iran.
This is false. Her government allowed the US to use UK air bases for weeks, from January, to build up its military forces in the Middle East to bomb Iran.
The war criminal who leads Israel is now trying to undermine the new ceasefire and causing immense suffering in Lebanon with Israel's bombing there.
Sanctions helped end apartheid in South Africa. They are needed to force Israel to end its repeated wars across the Middle East.
Where to find the words anymore?
What to say when Israel continues to behave like this?
And no condemnation at all from the UK Government. They carry on business as usual as if Israel aren't carrying out genocides in both Gaza and Lebanon.

Graphic with pipes dumping sewage in a river and overlay text: "Sign the Petition: Hold a Referendum to bring the water industry into public ownership
Most of us want to see our water back in public hands, but never actually had a say.
That’s why I’m backing the Sewage Campaign Network’s petition for a referendum on water ownership.

Starmer said he wouldn't allow the US to launch attacks on Iranian infrastructure from UK military bases, but B52 bombers took off from RAF Fairford a few hours ago and Iranian infrastructure is currently being bombed by Israel. Whatever happens next, Starmer is an accomplice.
THE PRIME MINISTERS SHAMEFUL IMMIGRATION PLAN WILL CHANGE THE RULES FOR MIGRANT CARE WORKERS
It will keep them in a temporary status for a decade or more, make them more easily exploitable, poorer and marginalised.
WHEN DID THAT BECOME THE POLICY OF A LABOUR GOVERNMENT?

Headline: Catherine stresses importance of mothers' mental health during rainy Wales visit
Her 5 top tips:
1) Having a quiet palace to retreat to
2) Employing an army of staff
3) Not paying for either of the above
4) Impulse shopping therapy

Outside Westminster Magistrates Court this morning in solidarity with Ben Jamal and Chris Nineham.
They are facing charges for organising an entirely peaceful demonstration in support of the Palestinian people.
Protesting for Palestine is not a crime. Drop the charges now!
They had been there for several days, in a heavily Muslim area and nothing bad had happened to them so far - but they were sure they were going to get hurt any minute now!
But they were just preaching the Bible, right?
Wrong!

Huda Ammori: "This is a.. victory both for our fundamental freedoms here in Britain & in the struggle for freedom for the Palestinian people, striking down a decision that will forever be remembered as one of the most extreme attacks on free speech in recent British history"

Wes Streeting deleted all his tweets praising Mandelson, and now he's trying to act like he's a defender of Epstein's victims

One of Trump's MAGA minions thought it would be cool to beat up a teenage girl; he quickly saw the error of his ways

If Mandelson is being investigated for his Epstein connections, he must also be investigated for his Thiel connections, because they ran a joint fund when Mandelson fixed Starmer's visit to Palantir

Folks, please retweet this. Trump, Noem, and the rest are lying everywhere about what ICE is doing in MN. We have to do everything we can to make sure the country has a clear picture of what is going on.
Bravo BBC.
A whole article on Epstein that doesn't mention Israel once.
That must have taken some mental gymnastics by the 'journalist' who wrote it.
They're laughing at us.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.
But did you look at the judge's order?
It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."
