It’s worth remembering that the phrase: ‘Release the Epstein Files’ actually means: ‘Stop hiding evidence to protect child rapists in powerful positions.’

WTF is the matter with the BBC????

The use of the word "escalation" is completely inappropriate about a sovereign country defending itself against the Russian invader and aggressor.

Suppression of Speech
MAGA stands for freedom of speech (with the exception of journalists, elected members of the opposition party, former administration officials, anti-fascists, students, librarians, scientists, federal civil servants, immigrants, and any US citizen who criticizes their lord and savior Donald Trump).

A technique of power as a mechanism for profit, securing low-cost access to resources and cheap labour. It was never really about growth, efficiency or enlarging the pie for everyone. The environment was an afterthought: when profits were at stake, bosses saw carbon overload as a price worth paying.
"Neoliberalism was a technique of power. It did its job as a mechanism for profit, securing low-cost access to resources and cheap labour. It was never really about growth, efficiency or enlarging the pie for everyone."

"All of these rights spell security" said FDR and that's what the GOP, project 2025 and Trump don't want for the majority because the INSECURITY OF THE MASSES gives them CONTROL.
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.
