Starmer says repeatedly that he does what is in the UK's best interest. And I generally believe him. But sending the King to fawn over a madman who constantly insults our country is not in our best interest It demeans us. Cancel the King's visit.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Deploying ICE at airports is to normalize their transition from being a special operation targeting immigrants to being an entity that polices all.

This is the production of the American Gestapo, one institution at a time.

Stop calling farmers idiots for voting Trump. Dems abandoned rural America for decades closed the co-ops, gutted the extension offices, let consolidation swallow family farms, never showed up. You don't get to ignore people for 30 years then mock them for finding someone who pretended to listen.

Dispatches from MN: it's getting really hard, guys. The media has left, the donations are drying up, and ICE is still here kidnapping people. It's hard not to be resentful that other people have the option of setting this aside for.other things.
