🚨 BREAKING: The UK government has tabled their plan to restrict repeat protests.
Demonstrations could now banned based on the 'cumulative disruption' that previous protests have caused in the area - regardless of if they have been organised by the same people or not.

YouTube doing their best to conceal evidence of war crimes from an actual international criminal court. It really tells us where these corporations stand on ethics and what their relationship is to dictators and autocrats. Not very "free speech" either.

Meet Rockbridge, the secretive donor circle that lifted JD Vance is now re-writing MAGA’s future.
It roots its action in a “controversial theory — an ‘aristocracy’ is needed to move the country forward.”
