"I personally witnessed defendant trump telling the plaintiff that she shouldn't ever say anything if she didn't want to dissappear like the 12 year old female ⬛️⬛️⬛️ and that he was capable of having her whole family killed."

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

Recommend your book whenever the subject comes up, Brian. 👍 Hope you're well.

Same to Joe. Took the pic with his 'with a cuppa and a custard cream' lyrics in mind.

#OtD 4 Feb 1968 a fishing boat from Hull, England, sank, killing all but one of its 19 crew. It sparked a powerful direct action campaign by fishermen's wives which rapidly won health and safety improvements in the industry stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1042...

Couldn't scroll on by without mentioning (for anyone interested) the @brianwlaverywriter.bsky.social book, and the @joe-solo.bsky.social album 'Headscarves & Hurricanes'

Both brilliant.

He’s the antithesis of a decent Englishman.
He’s sly, he’s divisive, he has, at best, a tenuous relationship with the truth.
His avarice for wealth and power knows no bounds.
Many of his acquaintances have friends who wish this country ill.
Yet, the ignorant fawn over him.

We are all immigrants. Unless you came over on the Mayflower. I am an immigrant to Canada having grown up in the US. America was built by immigrants. Some people have forgotten that.

A draft indictment against Jeffrey Epstein prepared by federal prosecutors in 2007 listed a series of sex crimes he was accused of committing against more than a dozen teenage girls, saying he told one 16-year-old that bad things could happen to her if she reported what happened at his house.

Children raped and killed. American citizens shot in the street. Immigrants illegally shackled, tortured, killed. Journalists arrested.

Did I just imagine that weird period where Boris Johnson, Brexit hero, was PM and designed his very own Brexit, to cheers and applause from the Brexit faithful?
Was that not a 'proper Brexit' after all? Is it not a proper Brexit until we're all out of work and no one speaks Polish on the bus?
look an entire newspaper has been kicked in the head by a horse

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
