Ratfcliffe is a billionaire Brexiteer. His a football club is full of migrant players. When he talks about “colonisation” he’s talking about all black and brown people in the UK. People who do more for their communities than a billionaire who steals from them and trashed the economy they live in.

Hegseth (boorishly): Russia's cool. NATO sucks. Your security problem, Europe, is you're too brown and gay.

Vance (condescendingly): Russia's cool. Your security problem is you're too brown and Muslim.

Rubio (politely): Who cares about Russia. Your problem is you're not white or Christian enough.

The UK was declared measles free in 2017.

Vaccine programs completely eliminated it.

Since then, pro sickness conspiracy theorists and anti science idiots have enabled its return.
“Seven schools and a nursery have reported more than 60 suspected cases of measles in an area of north London, and labs have confirmed 34 cases since January 12. Some children have been treated in hospital.”

A Europe-based project to unmasking US ICE agents is racking up views, and mobilizing volunteers in the process.

The site, known as the “ICE List,” traces back to June, after Kristi Noem warned that Americans who publicly identify ICE agents could face arrest.

Epstein used Jagland as a middleman to connect Trump’s secrets to the Kremlin.

This is why Trump refuses to pressure Russia.

He is not a peacemaker, he is a compromised criminal.

Jagland sold out Europe to help Putin blackmail the American president

WHY CAN'T WE JUST HAVE RULES?

Europe: “Right let me check that against the rules”

These are the oligarchs who seek to rule every aspect of our lives, and the current US regime is doing everything possible to facilitate that because it is owned by them.

Great proposal this. Continues to be incredibly funny and incredibly stupid that for years we've *banned* bus and rail operators "colluding" to make their timetables integrate with each other.
Fantastic to see my Mini Switzerland idea covered by the BBC.

It captures so many people’s imaginations because it’s both obvious, simple and yet - from where we are today - unspeakably radical.

Please share!

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.
