The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Oh dear that failed spectacularly as the BBC arranged an all-right-wing panel to challenge Green leader Zack Polanski on Question Time last night. But he schooled them all. And it was a perfect example of how to cut through establishment propaganda with clarity and compassion.

Zack Polanski schooling a right-wing BBCQT panel was a brilliant lesson in how to beat propaganda

Are these ANTIFA agents?

And remember that the stages of change model puts 'behavioural intention' before 'behaviour change'. As the surge continues, the question will be whether 'maintain' holds up

Thank heavens there are brave young people willing to call out the rot in the system we are all in.

Damn... This was really brave and perfectly executed. The way you guys planted multiple people all around the room and spoke up one at a time overwhelmed their security. This was brilliant. I respect it.💙👏😎

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Operation Gray Rock delivered with military precision. Control your communication when dealing with narcissists.

Narcissists thrive on emotional reactions and attention. Deny them their 'narcissistic supply'.

The 'Gray Rock' method involves making yourself as uninteresting as possible.

They don’t just obviously lie. They so ridiculously and moronically exaggerate their lies, based in the theory that the bigger the lie, the more likely the gullible will believe it.

I wrote a Limerick for him as someone in the UK:

A POTUS once came to our shores
There were boos and jeers, not applause
From his office of bling
He thought he was king
We've our own problems, keep yours

It was an inspirational evening - as my son would say, not so much preaching to the choir as rallying the choir - and it certainly did that 💚🩵🤘

It's not so bad after all. All lies are untruths. But not all untruths are lies. He may just be mistaken a lot of the time.

If you kept being mistaken though, maybe invest in education. Or not.

Sorry, please ignore me. I'm just trying, and failing again, to make sense of the world before bedtime.

Williams was a photographer for Jet magazine. He took the photo himself. The OG selfie. Iconic.

Orangeburg, South Carolina, 1956

Young Black man in a patterned shirt leans over a metal water fountain labeled “WHITE ONLY,” drinking directly from it. His gaze meets the camera, capturing a bold act of defiance against segregation during the Jim Crow era.
