ALL the people shamefully detained for supporting the right of Paletstine Action to protest should be immediately freed and given ample compensation (ideally from Starmer's personnal bank account but I digress)!
The High Court in the #UnitedKingdom has ruled that the government ban on the pro-Palestinian campaign group Palestine Action as a “terror group” was unlawful.

The outrageous decision by Kier Starmer's government to unlawfully ban Palestine Action (while maintaining business as usual ties with genocidal Israel) - and immediately announcing plans to appeal today's High Court ruling - should be front and centre of calls for him to stand down.

Kind of wild that this jobs report is being framed so positively when it also says this “the annual benchmark revisions sharply lowered estimates for job growth in earlier months. The new estimates show that the U.S. economy added just 181,000 jobs in 2025, down from the earlier estimate of 584,000”

Trump is in the Epstein files more than a million times, and there aren’t serious calls for him to resign. As far as I know, Starmer isn’t in the Epstein file but he’s being held to account for those below him because that’s how it should work.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.
