Just think it’s a bit weird that society has been brainwashed in to thinking that rich people and massive corporations having a bit less money is the main thing we need to avoid no matter what.

For the second time, in less than 10 days I saw ‘A Want in Her’ Myrid Cartens documentary which centres around her relationship with her mother who lives with both mental health and substance use issues.

The reason I'm concerned about Maria Steen being on the ballot isn't that she will win (she won't).
My worry is that if she is nominated, it will mean a month of national airtime for a hate campaign against vulnerable groups, carried by a media too scared of being sued to call it what it is

When you see this reality & realise that all the gender critical ‘feminists’ are still obsessed with who goes into bathrooms - a myth that never has or will become reality …easier to ignore where violence against women is actually happening -in the home #speirgorm

Putin says Trump must go further before he’ll even agree to meet.
Putin is entirely in the driving seat. The US has alienated its own allies, given Russia nearly all of what it wanted, bought Putin’s warped view of reality, and can’t even guarantee a meeting. The art of the deal, indeed.

Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris #climate agreement is an act of environmental vandalism & shows what the fossil fuel industry can buy with their $75m donation to his campaign. But it’s important to remember leaders across US are already taking stronger climate action & the economic case is clear
