In 1949, Superman told schoolchildren “our country is made up of Americans of MANY different races, religions and national origins. So…

“…if YOU hear anybody talk against anyone else because of his religion, race or national origin — don’t wait: tell him THAT KIND OF TALK IS UN-AMERICAN.”

Today someone asked how much I would pay in taxes to ensure everyone had housing & healthcare

I don’t know, whatever I could? This isn’t the “gotcha” folks think it is

If we taxed the rich properly, the rest of us wouldn’t need to pay exorbitant taxes to ensure every single person was provided for

I had forgotten how wonderful 'Live Aid' was.
Are our countries still capable of such things?

advertised at poverty wages
was required to to do a care job for a week ...

My focus issues are #TeslaTakedown

And the snatching of people to send away to an El Salvador concentration camp.

I am an aggregator myself in my feeds but I spend hours a day on YouTube watching aggregators and reading great #Substack content.
This video is for all US citizens who are currently overwhelmed by Trump's more than 200 executive orders.

THIS should be retweeted to the MAX.

I never saw a more helpful video.

(It's about two minutes long. It's worth a lot.)

Ministers are silent, but PIP cuts won’t just hurt disabled people — carers will suffer too.

PIP is a passport to support like Carer’s Allowance & council tax reductions. Losing it could cost carers thousands a year, pushing families deeper into poverty.

Some disabled people could lose £10k a year in benefits by end of decade

UK billionaires added £182,000,000,000 to their wealth last year. That’s £35,000,000 every single day.

Their combined wealth is £795,361,000,000.

So don't let anyone tell you austerity is a “necessity”. There’s more than enough wealth to fund our NHS, public services & welfare.

Happy Sunday lovely phone family. It's frosty here, but at least it's light!
I'm utterly bemused at how we've allowed our world to be shaped and controlled by greedy psychopaths. Clearly it's nothing new. When will we learn that they only serve themselves?
Have a fab day 😘

Are there any tariffs on straight jackets? You need to import 1 or 2.

I’ve come up against many bullies in my working life. Not physical ones as such, but those who try to dominate you mentally, emotionally and psychologically.
They all had one thing in common. They all melted when you had the courage to stand your ground and say ‘No… enough!’
