Tesla’s profit fell 37% in the third quarter. It's been in the process of laying off 14,000 workers. It had more cars impacted by recalls than any other brand in 2024. Yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion. American capitalism is off the rails.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with

Also I thought reducing the overcrowded prison population by early release was now actual government policy? It's not too surprising if prison administrators occasionally get it wrong when the Justice Dept keeps moving the goal posts on length of sentences.

Thank you to those so often forgotten by the politics of our city, who made this movement their own. I speak of Yemeni bodega owners and Mexican abuelas. Senegalese taxi drivers and Uzbek nurses. Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties. Yes, aunties. I'm not crying. You're crying 😭

The lesson Mamdani's victory has for the current Labour leadership is the same as for the Democratic establishment that stupidly backed Cuomo - your neoliberal pro-capitalist pro-genocide billionaire servicing policies no longer cut it with younger voters. Join the programme or get out of the way.

The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has congratulated Zohran Mamdani on his election victory and what he called a “historic campaign" "New Yorkers faced a clear choice - between hope and fear - and just like we've seen in London - hope won," he said

Even if Silwa had taken $10 million to drop out & all his votes had gone to Cuomo, Mamdani would still have narrowly won. The NY money men threw everything at this race to stop a progressive mayor from being elected & only by mobilising ordinary New Yorkers in record numbers were they stopped.

I'm sure all the far right politicians, fascist billionaires and criminal grifters who forced the police into disclosing the ethnicity and migration heritage of the attacker will be reposting this story all over their social media accounts & video channels right now.

I'm beginning to wonder if Rachel Reeves is really a 5th columnist for Reform and actively wants Nigel Farage to be the next Prime Minister. She could not have done more to disillusion Labour voters. Meanwhile there seems little prospect of asset wealth being seriously taxed.

Trump believes that ICE agents aren't going in hard enough to arrest and deport 'people who shouldn't be here'. This is a US citizen who was violently kidnapped by armed masked thugs in broad daylight. Everyone responsible should be in jail for this right the way up to the felon in the White House.

Well we know the colour of his skin and country of his birth because that was the information police deemed it most important to share yesterday, immediately upon announcing his arrest. Which is a terrifying indictment of how far the British state has capitulated to far-right political movements.

Jeffries & Schumer are why the Democrats lost to Trump. Zohran inspires hope while these pseudo Republicans induce only apathy and resignation. What they fear is the demonstration effect of a society run in the interests of ordinary people instead of the billionaires. Primary them out!

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more. That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs. It looks a lot more like preparation for war. Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

FindOutNow has a pretty convincing account of why their recruitment & sampling methodology is better at correcting for the consistent underestimate of Reform support by other pollsters. Paradoxically Reform supporters are less politically engaged but more likely to vote so a REF maj is possible.
