We always hoped they were kidding
Waiting for the big blowdown
We know the shadows so well
Doing your enemy’s bidding
Heading for the big showdown.
It never changes

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

If #SamirZitouni was the train knife attacker, I guarantee you the fact that he's a Muslim immigrant would have been stated in every headline.

The fact that he is a hero who saved lives (and almost died doing so) seems to mean it's not worth mentioning.

Racism is endemic in our media.

In the event of a crime we are told of the ethnicity of the perpetrator

In the event of heroism the hero’s ethnicity is not mentioned

The Farage influence is everywhere

The great dividers want you to think the problems in society are caused by migrants and refugees.

They’re wrong.

The problems in society are caused by an unjust economic system that protects the interests of the super-rich.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

At least 135 Palestinian bodies mutilated by the Israeli army returned to Gaza.

Yet there is infinitely more outrage over racist Israeli football hooligans being barred from Birmingham's streets.

The world has been turned on its head.
At least 135 mutilated bodies of Palestinians had been held at notorious Israeli jail, say Gaza officials
Documents indicate they came from Sde Teiman, which already faces allegations of torture and unlawful deaths
