This is a really good start from Zack Polanski, refusing to be drawn into the Establishment lie about how the economy works. Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) & the lies government tells about tax is outlined by renowned economist Professor Stephanie Kelton in this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IBE...

Joe Gallina 🚨BREAKING: In a massive blow to Trump, Lauren Boebert just signed the discharge petition demanding the release of the EPSTEIN FILES. With Massie, Mace, Boebert, and MTG on board + all 212 Dems signing on as expected, we need only TWO more Republicans to force a floor vote. LFG!
🚨 Rep. Tim Burchett just admitted: “We gotta rethink the whole [Epstein] files thing… there’s some files they don’t want out.” Translation: They’re protecting someone. If the files were harmless, they’d already be public. The cover-up is the clearest clue.
THE WORLD HAS GONE SILENT… Our international system has normalised the killing of innocent people, the starvation of innocent people-to the extent that the killing of almost 150 people in 24 hours doesn't cause noise anywhere. -Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi
Call to Activism- Joe Gallina 🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Despite Trump’s warnings and the White House calling it “a very hostile act to the administration” - MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE has just signed on to the Massie - Khanna discharge petition to force a vote on the full release of the Epstein files.

Donald 'no more wars' Trump has attacked a Venezuelan ship. The US will not win a war against South America, it will lose and Americans and America will pay for Donald Trump's stupidity.
And then put the monstrosity in charge of future elections!
The thing is, Donald Trump himself, is genuinely stupid enough to believe that the other countries pay his tariffs. He's really that stupid, and that's why he can't see that the Tariffs will destroy the USA.
#BREAKING | Biden stopped ICE from buying Israeli spyware, but Trump admin allows it to proceed Israeli most violent spyware, NSO's "Pegasus" can hack your phone without you doing anything at all It was already used by political opponents and journalists in Israel and other countries!
Bigger the fools that believe this utter bullshit. Only a broken and corrupt election system would enable a monstrosity such as Trump
The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer. Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer. We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is. It will never reach you.
www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Pretty spot on
Again, the thing we need to spend more time thinking about is ugly, unilateralist American power & hegemony, rather than the end of American power & hegemony. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

🚨U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, under Ninth Circuit jurisdiction, ruled on Sept. 2, 2025, that Trump’s Los Angeles troop deployment violated the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act because no rebellion existed and civilian police could handle the protests. open.substack.com/pub/theintel...

Can someone please explain to me how desperate Palestinians can get food via go fund me or other unregulated crowdfunding programmes… When it is widely known the IDF are immorally & probably illegally blocking all humanitarian aid from actually recognised non-governmental organisations?

This is a good read. How the stupid are going to kill America.
For this to happen your system must be broken. Or the system is corrupt, or both…
The Trump family’s corruption is blatant. Any other president would face wall-to-wall coverage and impeachment by now. Trump is given a free pass that no other president would receive.

The EU is pushing for stricter documentation from gas importers to prove origin, aiming to enforce its Russian gas ban by 2028. A draft seen by Reuters shows importers may soon need to verify that no Russian gas is mixed in, a move that could reshape LNG flows and compliance across Europe.
This is a positive big development that should have dominated the UK news. What on earth has happened to Labour Comms?

Over the last 5 years, the European Investment Bank has helped to build and renovate 665,000 affordable homes across the EU. Before Brexit, it was the biggest funder of British social housing too. But all that funding and investment has been lost because Brexiters told you we didn't need it. 🇬🇧🇪🇺
