OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

If journalists had any integrity and courage, they would boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner. It should be as empty as a TPUSA event.

Battle of Culloden
16 April 1746

After the Hanovarian victory, the Jacobite wounded were slaughtered by Red Coats on the direction of Butcher Cumberland🇬🇧

Rebels were hunted down and executed

A culture was then suppressed and broken with the banning of Highland dress, bagpipes & Gaelic language 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙏

I think Wes, as Health Minister I couldn’t give a shit about the NHS and take donations from US healthcare companies, Streeting, will find it’s not up to him nor the Labour government.

AUSTERITY

Designated sites for Roma & Travellers are often located in heavily polluted areas and they are often very overcrowded. Cuts to amentites at these sites mean that many families are going without reliable access to electricity, clean water and basic hygiene facilities - basic things that should be available to everyone in Wales.

Austerity-driven public service cuts have hit every working class community hard, but their effects on Traveller communities are especially acute. Yet many offer not solidarity but active hostility to their Roma & Traveller neighbours.

Prejudiced assumptions about unauthorised encampments only lead to further cutbacks, making conditions even worse. There are long waiting lists for each of these sites, and the construction of new ones is routinely blocked by racist fearmongering campaigns.

CYNICAL LIES

Politicians and the media have blown the problem of unauthorised encampments well out of proportion, treating it like a serious community failing when actually only 7% of Roma & Traveller caravans are found on land not belonging to our designated for Roma & Traveller communities. 

Politicians use Roma & Travellers as a scapegoat for every complaining about litter and noise, because scaremongering is a proven vote-winning tactic.

Instead of providing adequate services to deal with issues like fly-tipping, politicians propose social cleansing as their “solution”.

We can see behind this smokescreen to the real issue at hand: anti-Roma, anti-Traveller bigotry. Gareth Dennis revealed this in his statement to the Senedd in 2023, openly saying “We don’t want Gypsies near us”.

One man put us in this deadly quagmire. One man is wrecking our economy. One man’s immigration agents have terrorized our communities. One man has ridden roughshod over our system of government.

We said "No Kings" 250 years ago. Congress must say "No Kings" today.

If not, they must be replaced.

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY!

The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.
