"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." —The Declaration of Independence

I see on Colombian news that Nicolas Maduro, Venezuelan leader has been captured. Anyone else heard about this? American involvement.

It's a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history. Please share it as much as you can.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Thanks to everyone who's been reposting my stuff. Remember in the early days of social media when we'd be so excited by what we saw that we'd retweet it? That's since fallen off as we've gotten used to it, but that's how we leverage the power of SM. Please help me reach a wider audience

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

Here is the Sun's pitifully small apology for its lie about benefits tourism - a lie that was accepted as truth by millions and helped deliver Brexit. These lies are perverting our democracy. At a minimum, apologies should be published in the same location and size as the lie.

It’s not just about what you remove (cars, noise, dirty air). It’s about what you add (people walking, a lot of bike parking, trees, outdoor dining, and room for kids to play safely). Amsterdam: 1986 and today. Streets for people. HT @hackneycyclist.bsky.social for the before-and-after

Arresting 400+ people for the "terrorist" offence of protesting against mass murder while large segments of the right are openly encouraging riots against immigrants is a tale of a very unhappy country and government.

And long overdue, the damage gambling causes is outrageous.

Economists expect double-digit drops for the automaker’s top and bottom lines after a record decline for quarterly vehicle deliveries.

Stephen Flynn, "On Brexit, everyone across the UK right now feels that Britain is broken" "And the guy who orchestrated Brexit, Nigel Farage, doesn't have to face the consequences of the economic damage that Brexit has done to the UK"

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

This government made a political choice to make life harder for the sick and disabled. Well done to those MPs who had the courage to speak up for the marginalised and put their constituents first. That is what it means to serve the people.

Please repost, if like me, you will never accept Brexit. It harms the British people. It was obtained through foreign interference and by far the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history, and it robs us of freedom and citizenship. #RejoinEU

As a European I just can't get my head round this. A family member had a mini health scare a few weeks ago - scans and specialists all arranged in a couple of weeks on the NHS and it cost precisely nothing. They were OK too btw.

Survey after survey after survey all saying the same thing. Brexit was a mistake, Brexit is a disaster, the people regret Brexit. At some point a political party will shout this out loud and gain huge support. northeastbylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

Indeed. Cowardice really. Easier to sacrifice people than stand up and explain a policy which lets people come in safely. Horrible

He's right. But also: this was exactly how some of us warned the Terrorism Act 2000 would be used when it was passed, by the government in which Peter Hain was a minister. He and all the others either ignored or dismissed our warnings. It's very frustrating.

Nigel Farage is either 'deliberately lying' or 'extremely stupid' for promising to reopen coal mines and restart blast furnaces, former Labour leader Lord Kinnock tells Sky’s Trevor Philips

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I don’t use Etsy but in case others do and are unaware of this……

No No No Great thread. Democracy in Britain is a mockery, it is indeed a facade, because its people are not equipped to engage, to think critically, to analyse or challenge what they are being fed, and with every year of increasing disinformation, that disconnect grows and the facade thins.

“My sympathy for the gov’t is limited, because they have boxed themselves into a corner needlessly on so many issues; whether it's red lines on taxation, or Europe, or the fiscal rules. They keep doing this. They keep putting up artificial barriers that make it incredibly difficult to do anything.”

Several MPs saying opposition to banning Palestine Action as terrorist group does not equate to support for its aims or methods Some have said use of "serious damage to property" clause of terrorism definition to ban a group for the first time sets a dangerous precedent for the future

If you can watch this and then think ‘I won’t share because that might be putting myself on the line’ then you know what you’d have done if you were in Germany when your Jewish neighbours were being loaded into to cattle trucks. Nothing. Please share - it’s our ‘I’m Spartacus moments

Today, the UK government intends to ban the non-violent protesters Palestine Action as a "terrorist" group, exposing anyone supporting them to terrorism charges. In 2 days, 380,000 people have watched this video on YT alone. You're going to need a bigger prison. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECkV...

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

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.  A new generation that gives meaning to the “we” in “we the people.” Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as the future.

Zohran Mamdani's victory wasn't a one-off for progressives. I'm currently polling just single digits behind the lead, even though I was a "long-shot" candidate 3 months ago. That's because people-first politics WORK and we can't do it without you:

"A future government could just take us out of the EU again, so we can't rejoin." We finally know what Brexit is like from lived experience. How are they ever going to assemble a majority for leaving a second time in the face of actual knowledge?

Reminder that when Rishi Sunak lowered Fuel Duty by 5p a litre, the supermarkets just added 5p onto their profits, and the prices stayed the same. Tax cuts always pour money from Government straight to billionaires. Never to you, that's not the point of them.

Anybody with a scintilla of emotional intelligence would have balked at the language. Does he regret saying it, or does he regret the backlash which followed him saying it?

Starmer tells The Observer on his ‘Island of Strangers’ comment: "I’ll give you the honest truth: I deeply regret using it.”

Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

Thank you Clive Lewis 👏

Bravo, Macron. Like in 2003 with the Iraq War - France is calling it out.

The movement for a Free Palestine is not antisemitic and framing it as such is nothing more than propaganda. The existence of Palestinians, of Muslims, of Arabs, is not antisemitic.
