America's money goes to Hungary. To Argentina. To fund wars in Iran and invasions of Venezuela.

It goes to kill shipwrecked survivors. To ICE, who shoot US citizens and build concentration camps

Our money seems to fund death and destruction all across the globe

But it never goes to help Americans

A reminder.

“There is no superior race.”

“There is no chosen people of God.”

“It is neither the United States nor Israel.”

“The chosen people of God is all of humanity.”

Not really the point (and please read the linked article), but why do weasels get such a bad press? They're rather lovely, and it seems harsh to compare them to people like Matt Goodwin, but we all do it.

Keunssberg telling people that you might as well not vote because the postal votes had Johnson ahead, and both of them lying about Labour staff assaultng a Tory aide outside Leeds Infirmary, a few days before the 2019 vote.

Peston, Keunssberg, Mason, Coates and Rigby are all onside with the right.

Whose “ red lines” are these? 👀

“Your Chancellor has been using this figure of 8% of our national income that Brexit cost us. It’s a massive hit to the British economy.. why won’t you be more ambitious?” - Peston

“We do have red lines in our manifesto and we need to keep to those red lines” - Keir Starmer

Can’t hear Preston more than 5 seconds…and remember how “cosy” & friendly he & Laura K were with Boris Johnson? 🙄

Angus: This is a president who says the only constraint on his actions is not Congress, not the courts, not international law, but, quote, “my own morality, my own mind.”

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

So far, Trump has:

- cut off military aid to Ukraine
- imposed import tariffs on Europe
- threatened to occupy Greenland
- started a bloody war against Iran
- threatened once again to leave NATO b/c Europe refuses to help him.

We should distance ourselves from this horrible fascist and loudmouth.
