If you Americans want the world to stay out of your politics, reign in the lunatics in the Whitehouse who keep interfering in our countries finances and policies, until you do that, shut the fuck up!
Far-right British bigots are desperately trying to manifest a civil war in the UK and Ireland. They're promoting hate and exaggerating immigration and Islam to scare people into action. Britain First leader, Paul Golding is the latest bigot to hop on the civil war bandwagon. Shut up and sit down!

ICE IS KILLING PEOPLE IN THE SHADOWS. Prisciliano Trejo Ricano begged for a doctor. He became the 50th person to die in ICE custody. Anne Frank wasn’t shot; she died of neglect in a camp. ICE uses the same playbook: murder by medical neglect. ICE DETENTION CENTERS ARE DEATH CAMPS.
This concern never exists when it's funding cops that brutalize people without actually solving crimes at any meaningful rate. It also never exists when giving huge subsidies to the richest corporations on the planet. Spending $ on ppl who're having trouble making ends meet STIMULATES THE ECONOMY.

We taught Miles how to ride a bike today. We also had to deal with an old man mad that we had them practicing in a school parking lot while he drove his monster truck. Once again, kids exist and have a right to take up space. Also, get rid of those damn monster trucks. None of you need that.
