Refugee from Twitter; and hopefully not a refugee from the USA 🤞🏼. I like Gothic cathedrals, Medieval History, Espresso ☕️ and Mexican food 🥑. No 🚫 maga/tea party GOP hypocrites.

Ronald Reagan, a cold man who ignored the AIDS crisis because he was a homophobe and craved the votes of other homophobes, is *not* a reminder of anything good or decent.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.

Two options:

1) ICE deliberately targeted him.

2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.

Hard to say which option is scarier.

Instead, we live in a world where a dumber and more ignorant Archie Bunker holds political power and cultural hegemony.

Senator Ruben Gallego has introduced Senate legislation to outlaw surveillance pricing.

NEW LAWSUIT: Trump’s budget chief & acting head of CFPB has manufactured a funding crisis to completely defund the agency.

We're challenging the Trump admin's unlawful attempt to stop the CFPB from doing its Congressionally mandated job by starving it of funding.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

The Trump administration is pushing to expand grazing on public lands while reducing its already low cost, under the false premise that it will fill America’s coffers.

Wealthy ranchers are profiting — at the expense of taxpayers.

Trump launched a probe into Sen. Kelly because he said the military shouldn’t obey ILLEGAL orders.

Trump is yet again abusing his power to go after his opponents.

This is absurd.

No one should fear a political witch-hunt just for standing up for the rule of law.

The budget didn't bother the powerful.

No windfall tax on banks. Govt subsidy of £23bn+ continues.

No windfall tax on energy companies, £125bn profit since 2020.

Corporate profiteering and subsidies continue. No curbs on corporate welfare.

85,500 have wealth of £2.8 trillion, hardly touched.
The government’s budget is simply managing decline
The budget does little to improve living standards or facilitate sustained economic growth
