The first war America fought against each other was a war against kings.
The second was a war against slavery.
The third is against both.
All three were wars against control.

It is less about corruption of justice than it is about perversion of justice
The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless.
And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

The USA had the best education system in the world until they had to share it with Black people.
From that moment forward the powers that be chose to destroy it rather than learn.
That's all you need to know.

Awesome if true. However I'm skeptical. It would be very easy for the service to disable the cancelation page to prevent cancelations, and subsequently claim 'technical difficulties'. The idea being to force subscribers to wait, knowing some percentage will give up.

I see people bleating yet again that "elections are won from the centre". Let's examine this claim.
1. Not long ago, the current Labour government, with its grovelling to corporations and oligarchs, extreme deregulation, island of strangers rhetoric etc, would have been classed as radical right. 🧵

A real head-scratcher. What. Could. It. Be?
crazy, what is it about lisa cook that might have led the white house to baselessly accuse her of mortgage fraud in order to force her out of her job?

Capital is your God and it demands sacrifices.
Sorry to burden you with another jaw-dropping scandal. But what the government intends to do to chemicals regulation in the UK is chilling. Its consultation was slipped out so quietly that most of us missed it. When I read it, I saw why.
