Whenever I see a republican, all I can think about is how they murder peasant fishermen for trying to feed their families in Venezuela.
There’s nothing more demonic than a supporter of the GOP. 💩

The same pedophile Nazis, murdering peasant fisherman in Venezuela are the same demons flying Blackhawk helicopters in the skies of Chicago and Portland.
Putin’s pedophiles are on the march and it’s truly disgusting. 💩 #EpsteinsEnforcers

Labour isn't working for anyone except big business and the super rich.

If Labour don’t reform the Energy Profits Levy then even more jobs will go.

They must listen to industry, the unions and workers and do the right thing.

Since the Republican Political Party has assumed control of three branches of government they have assumed enemy positions against: Canada, China, Mexico, Panama, Denmark, Norway, Brazil, So Korea, Venezuela, Gaza, and Greenland ~
Literally, inventing enemies for Americans. This is the problem.

What the Neoliberal never says about Venezuela. They praise Maria Corina Machado, who supports US invasion of her own country, she was nominated by Marco Rubio, supports the Israeli genocide of Gaza and dedicated her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump!

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily
