The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.
That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Whatever you may think of Palestinian Action unless we all stand and say we support them and shown how nonsensical and hysterical the Home Secretary’s decision is it won’t be long before the meaning of terrorism has been redefined to mean anything the govt of the day finds inconvenient.
I support Palestinian Action and urge others to do the same. They are non-violent, direct action campaigners, not terrorists. At time of writing this is still a legal statement.

'Morning Light,' (1916) is considered by many to be Elioth Gruner's masterpiece of his wartime pastorals. Enveloping light, technical brilliance, and pictorial perfection are the hallmarks of the best of his work.

I just don't think Government or the public realise the consequences of purging decades of experience, expertise, and knowledge from Universities will do, both on a research and economic level, but also on the quality of education we can provide future generations. We're shrinking into oblivion.

You can feel what you like politically about the loss of hundreds of Conservative & Labour Councillors today but what is certain is a wealth of understanding of how local government works is being lost today to be replaced by people with no interest in civic society.

This statement from the NSF is insane.
Science is, in essence, designed to separate the true from the false.
Understanding how falsehoods spread is key to the scientific endeavor. It is not a violation of free speech to be proven wrong.

The Quakers are a really important & authentic voice for humanitarian values, have been for over 300 years. Unless the police had credible evidence that the Meeting House had been infiltrated by terrorists, this should be treated as an attack against religious freedom & peaceful protest.
