My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Sick of constant demonisation of migrants on #bbcqt & failed cruelty being the only answer from spineless politicians?

Look out for my report launching at 11am with 9 evidence-backed proposals to ACTUALLY fix the immigration system!

If only there had been signs that a group of below average men who espouse misogynist views and are led by an adjudicated rapist would treat their female colleagues poorly.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

She has the moral clarity that a lot of elected Dems could use: what is happening today is evil.

You don’t need to analyze it much more closely than that

Owen Jones in a lanyard mansplaining socialism through a microphone to Zarah Sultana, while she continues utterly oblivious of his input, to drone about workers cooperatives everywhere for everything, is what awaits me if I go to hell.
*Note to self - lead a life of virtue; please don't go to hell.
Zarah Sultana apparently wants to nationalise the entire economy including the Internet.

Murdered by Russians in Kherson, 6-year-old Vladyslav and his 34-year-old mother Alina.

Both were targeted by a Russian drone as they took a taxi.

Vladyslav was a first-grader and his mother Alina was a nurse.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

Wish my beautiful companion dog lurcher Pudding, from my youth beside Greenham campfires and genuine belief in world peace, could meet my beautiful dachshund Daisy, from now. How did we get to this time of grim nationalism, governments preaching against refugees and "socialists" chanting for death?
