Do words such as solutions or combat reflect understanding? We are so keen on solutions, so keen on combat, so keen on bending reality to our will.

The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.

Every single day ICE agents are threatening people and terrorizing communities.

We’ve seen ICE pepper spray babies, disappear US citizens, slam distraught mothers and fathers to the ground—now they’re terrorizing St. Paul.

ICE is out of control and should be abolished.
Federal agents from ICE, DEA and the FBI raided a St. Paul paper distributor Tuesday morning. Hundreds of community members responded in protest, clashing with officers. At least two people were detained by authorities, according to a witness.

We should NOT be selling weapons to one of the worst human rights abusers in the world.

This should be a no-brainer.

MBS should be held responsible for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi — not welcomed at the White House to celebrate a multibillion-dollar arms package deal.

Meanspiritedness never only affects somebody else.
Everyone wanted to assure me that the government healthcare cuts wouldn’t impact employer health insurance, only those on medicaid.

Only for my new job to get rid of their great healthcare plan because their rates are doubling as a result of our governments actions. 🤡

Catchy slogan: #20splenty
It's good to see Edinburgh increasing the number of roads set at 20mph and moving towards 90% of city roads having a 20mph limit. With a 30% reduction in casualties #20splenty is making Edinburgh an even better place to be.
