Anyone who claims to be a 'leader' must adopt and act upon these words and ideals. No exceptions.
81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Trump refusing to use the old system of vetting by DOJ of pardon requests means that the most deserving who used to make the cut out of 1000s - decades old smaller cases of people who turned their lives around - get ignored. Now the pardons go to rich connected Republican felons.

Have written for the New Statesman about why, if he will not accept an apology, the BBC should welcome a Trump lawsuit. They should show guts and fight it because impartially matters and if they don't, they will have tacitly accepted a rewritten history.

It absolutely beggars belief that with all the evidence we have of climate change there are still people who deny it exists. While countries like the USA roll back what little moves there have been to tackle it, the situation is getting pretty dire for the planet.

Anyone who thinks Trump is a genius is a fool. Trump has very limited intelligence and his mental disease makes what little he ever had even less each day. He was never the super genius he pretended to be, he is a fake and a fraud whose entire life and empire is built on fraud, theft and lies.

Nigel Farage is proposing an “insurance based” profit driven health service in UK, where would that leave you and older members of your family?
Average healthcare costs in the US:
Giving birth? $18,000
Cancer treatment? $150,000
One month ICU stay? Between 30k and 150k.
That’s not including copays, deductibles, interest and all the other hoops you have to jump through.
Cost in Canada? $0.
Cost in the UK? $0.
Cost in Australia? $0.

It’s incredible how capitalists flipped the narrative to accuse socialism of doing what capitalism does, and that so many people are gullible enough to actually believe it.
