We need answers—now. Where is our sister Hilary Rivers? ICE took her the morning after Pride with no warning, no due process, and no communication. This is not justice—this is kidnapping. We demand transparency, accountability, and her immediate release. Read more: 48hills.org/2025/06/drag...

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

NEW: 549 Palestinians now killed in the last 30 days. Itself shocking. But, EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS KILLED AT A FOOD AID STATION. A unique war crime. Firing squads using aid as bait. Palestinians in #Gaza face two choices: starve to death, or risk death to get food. 🧵

Musk’s destruction of USAID sentenced millions of HIV sufferers to lose medication. Now RF Kennedy commits a crime against the world’s children and pulls all US support for global vaccines (GAVI). Structural violence based on anti-science and lies. Utterly shameful Trump.

My Trade Secrets today. Imagine the US in 1957 had seen the Sputnik satellite overhead & said "Nah, we'll leave space to the Soviets". Thanks to climate change denial, mindless prejudice and trade protectionism, that's just what it's doing now with China & green tech, esp EVs and batteries. 1/2

Anyone wishing to learn more about the background of Zohran Mamdani, the brilliant new progressive Democrat Mayor of New York, can listen to his father Mahmood talk about his family's migrations @EmpirePodUK podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/1...

Zohran Mamdani didn't just crush a political machine which had the money behind it. He hasn't just re-energised the US left. He's given hope to all of us who want an alternative to this gruesome age of injustice, creeping fascism, war and genocide.

Transfer fees for money sent home by international migrants were nearly as high as US foreign aid in 2023
