After not having made this recipe for a long while, I made East African Braised Chicken for dinner last night & immediately remembered why it's one of my faves. Don't let the unappealing photo they inexplicably used put you off. This recipe is the 💣🍽️

I haven't had the capacity to keep up with moderation lists for a bit, but this one is really obvious, so I'm stealing some energy from Future Me: a list for the extremely obvious wave of inauthentic accounts following today's newly-created US gov accounts

The message is simple:
❌ No more PFIs.
❌ No new PPPs.

With the Autumn Budget coming up, we need to show politicians the public won’t accept more privatisation.

It’s worth noting that when he decided to speak out about his unconstitutional ICE detainment, DHS accused him of assault.

They lie.

They blame the victims.

George did nothing wrong. He was just trying to get to work and was hit with chemical munitions and detained for three days.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

WE are being forced to pay more for the privilege of being ripped off by water companies.

They've not invested. Instead they've taken out £80 billion in dividends and loaded up those companies with £70 billion in debt.

Now they are being allowed to hike our water bills.

Getting mine on Tuesday, paying £80 for it. Feel very lucky I can afford it. NHS offered me a free flu jag, why have they stopped offering COVID jags? I've never heard of long flu but I've heard all about long COVID.

These ICE Gestapo wannabes need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. When we take our country back -- AND WE WILL -- the ppl committing these atrocities need to be arrested & tried for crimes against humanity. Them and their leaders. They're all equally accountable for this evil.

I still haven't & never will forgive Clegg for forming a coalition govt w/the Tories in 2010, leading directly to the ongoing economic disaster that is Brexit & 14 years of ruinous Tory austerity. My opinion of him has only gotten worse as the years have gone by, and that is really saying something.
