STOP TALKING ABOUT THE CORRINO FILES! They are a HOAX written by PAUL, JESSICA and the ATREIDES DEEP STATE. Duke Leto killed himself in his sleep. This is the same as the Guild, Guild, Guild Hoax. NO COLLUSION with the Bene Gesserit...

And to the many, many, many people who went, "But even a Dem who is bad on trans rights would be better than a Republican!" I want you to talk to some trans people in the UK to ask them how things are going under the current Labour government.

In 2003, anti-war activists broke into RAF Fairford to stop US bombers heading to Iraq.

Keir Starmer defended their actions and said it was justified to prevent war crimes.

Now his government is banning Palestine Action for doing the same.

The Prime Minister is a hypocrite.

I 100% have White American Guy Privilege when I travel, with the additional "Rich Dude" upgrade. It's not even a question.
Much as I hate that it's true, I think you also still have 'Ah he looks white enough' privilege--and you're actively using it to support the folks most affected by The Fanta Menace 😃

Meistä kaikista tulee ennemmin työttömiä, sairaita, työkyvyttömiä, syrjäytyneitä, kodittomia, liikuntakyvyttömiä, uhreja, osattomia, yksinäisiä, turvattomia, hädänalaisia, tai jopa ilmastopakolaisia ennemmin kuin rikkaita.

Siksi kaikkien tulisi vastustaa hallitusta ja sen politiikkaa.

People are so intense on both sides of the debate. The side that wants to exist and have rights, and the side that wants to see them exterminated. If only we could turn down the temperature and come to a reasonable compromise where the degens get just a lil but exterminated uwu
Yesterday in an information session about the supreme court ruling, the legal expert said that "obviously there are entrenched views on both sides" and, yes, I would say that my view that I am a fucking woman and deserve fucking rights is pretty fucking entrenched.

I don't know what this means, but I'm the one who wrote a fully updated, 624-page hurricane response plan at FEMA that took over 2 years of work and careful coordination among state and federal agencies. He could start by studying that.
Breaking WSJ:

The newly appointed head of FEMA acknowledged in private meetings that with two weeks to go until hurricane season, the agency doesn't yet have a fully formed disaster-response plan. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Veterans know about trust - how trust is given and how trust is earned.

Our nation continues to face a crisis of trust - and all of us can and must take action to change that.
