This is essential viewing. Add to the ramping up of his comments regarding European leaders, and I don't think he will stop with the White House.

Trump is talking about taking over Canada, re-taking the Panama Canal with a military presence. The West sends money & weapons to Ukraine because that's exactly what Putin is doing. He took the Donbas and wants total control of the Black Sea. If one can't do it, why is the other allowed?

As the oligarchy begins to take shape, this meme seems more prescient than ever. They have convinced you that immigrants are your enemy while they pick your pockets at the same time, you’ve been duped. It’s the billionaires who are ruining this country,not migrants. Always has been. #RiseAndResist

● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres
● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres
● Dyson owns 36,000 acres

Just so we’re clear -
Any party telling you who you can love, what gender you are, which medicine you can take, which books you can read, which history you can learn, what prayers you should pray and what you can and cannot do with your own body, doesn’t give a fuck about freedom.

Hello peeps. We're not here yet, but thinking about it. The 60s video rule is gonna be tough cf. Twitter/X, but maybe there will be fewer reach limits on sharing embeds from YouTube which always felt repressed.

The party that is obsessed with child sex offenders, & is close to a cult that claims child sex offenders run the government, just nominated a guy once investigated for allegedly sex-trafficking a 17 year old girl to be in charge of the country’s legal system.
