The morning after Hannah won I was asked time and time again about this.

There was no evidence for it. Instead the establishment media fuelled the fire.

It was Islamaphobic. And it's because those in power are scared of us ending rip off Britain.

Mike Johnson and House Republicans are blocking a vote on the bipartisan Senate bill that funds TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard and the rest of DHS — minus ICE. They’re holding airport security workers hostage to play politics.

Prioritizing shutdown games over public safety is disgraceful! 😡

Missouri referendum campaign says it has enough signatures to challenge gerrymandered map • Missouri Independent Backers of a proposed referendum on Missouri’s gerrymandered congressional plan believe they have met the minimum number of signatures.

Big news in the fight against GOP gerrymanders:

Missouri group announces that local officials have verified enough voter signatures to suspend the new GOP congressional map until a veto referendum takes place.

But GOP officials are trying to drag out the process to thwart it, & litigation is going

Bbc article comparing different response from Zack Polanski to Nigel Farage to the attack on the ambulances.

And this is an exact reminder of why we must stand against both Antisemitism and Islamophobia.

The cynical forces who seek to divide our communities must never win.

Along with all of America’s unions, our thoughts are with the ALPA pilots tragically lost in the LaGuardia runway collision and their loved ones.

Our hearts go out to all of the crew, passengers and their families during this devastating time.

Millions of people are carrying on their everyday lives, totally unaware of what's about to hit them.

If Trump blows up Iran's power stations, Iran will destroy energy infrastructure across the Gulf.

This would be one of the major "before-and-after" events of human history.

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.

Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.

They are good for society and the economy.

Iraq.

Afghanistan.

Libya.

Gaza.

One murderous catastrophe after another.

Now the warmongers are dragging us into the calamity of the Iran war.

This insanity must end.

Trump is cornered on Iran — with no easy way out.

What is going through his brain right now? Has he fully lost his marbles?

We discussed this with one of my personal heroes and someone who took Trump on (and won): E. Jean Carroll. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7a9MnIQUWM

The chart  drills into more detail about how the burden is shared, recording tax payments 
across the income spectrum in one recent year. Four things jump out. First, the 
totality of direct taxes is progressive. Second, the variation between the very top 
and the bottom is huge, even on average: around 12 per cent of what the poorest 
families have coming in goes out in Income Tax, National Insurance and Council Tax; 
for the very richest that figure is 31 per cent, more than three times higher. Third, the 
progressive work of the system is to some extent done by National Insurance, but 
much more particularly by Income Tax, a levy that the very richest pay more than five 
times more of than the poorest. Finally, and in sharp contrast to the general pattern, 
Council Tax is strongly regressive – absorbing only about 1 per cent of income at the 
very top, against nearly 5 per cent at the very bottom.

Tice 'avoided
£600,000 in tax'
Gabriel Pogrund - Whitehall Editor

Reform is too thick to hide their real motive for power. It’s not to make us wealthier. It’s not to improve our public services. It’s not even to manage immigration. It’s to wildly enrich themselves by dumping the rules and regulations that protect us from exploitation, discrimination and risk.

Wordmongers vs Warmongers The Iran excursion...

The commander-in-chief thinks war is an “excursion” because he doesn’t know the meaning of excursion. He also has no schema for war as a five-time draft dodger.

I am also positive that Trump is using the word “excursion” when he means “incursion.”
