Batley Pride
A community led, family friendly LGBT+ pride event for local residents.
www.spacehive.com
We are a very small pride event in a small Yorkshire town (uk). We are in our 7th year and are in desperate need of donations this year so if anyone would like to donate even £1 we would be very grateful. We have had to hire extra security this year. TIA xx

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

Labour's plans on asylum are so extreme that they are being welcomed by Rupert Lowe MP - a man thrown out of Reform for being too extreme.

Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

In Nov 2024, Keir Starmer announced a working partnership with US asset manager Blackrock, who own $11 trillion in assets.
Their endgame?
To turn green spaces into 'natures assets'. Your local park could become a tokenised asset.
Access may become conditional on fees or corporate permission.

The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.
Everyone involved with Epstein’s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame.
It does not matter if they are GOP or Dems!

For two months, the U.S. government has been racial profiling as masked federal agents hunted for immigrants throughout Chicago. They’ve repeatedly snatched up U.S. citizens while traumatizing communities. “I felt like a piece of trash.” Here is our story www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...
