I have a principle. If I really like a post, I also share it so that more people get to read it. Usually, I also follow. Just hitting ‘like’ is fine but it gets us nowhere.

I will not be buying any World Cup tickets or merchandise due to FIFA’s collaboration with the Trump regime.

Gianni Infantino has a dictator fetish. It’s grotesque.

The president has been warning host cities under Democratic control that he will call on Fifa’s president to switch venues if he deems there is a problem

Last week Trump met with an ISIS terrorist who killed Marines. Yesterday Trump met with Mohammad Bonesaw who finances the 9/11 attackers leading to 20 years of war. Today Usha and Melania are visiting Marines at Camp Lejeune.

Haven’t the Marines suffered enough from Republican politics?

Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!

Alf Dubs is a 92 year old man who spent his life fighting for refugees, and in particular for refugee children. He fought the Tories tooth and nail during their last three terms, only to see Labour adopt far-right policies on immigration.

Pretty sure we’ll soon see an exodus of principled Labour MPs to @greenparty.org.uk . Yes - I worry about the effect of this on the current balance of power, but not as much as I worry about the current balance of power.

On Nigel Farage's racism, of course it is possible that someone can believe one thing when they're a teenager and something completely different when they're an adult.

But where is the evidence that has happened in this case?

Instead all of the evidence points in the complete opposite direction
Nigel Farage Is a Racist
The media is refusing to state the most bleedingly obvious facts about a man whose entire career has been devoted to pursuing a racist political agenda
