I love this planet. it's home to my human family. I don't care what colour you are, what language you speak, or where you live on our planet. We are ALL FAMILY I tell the truth. Even if you don’t want to hear it. I respect you too much to lie to you.

We are NOT the only creatures on this planet. Many many creatures birds bats insects hedgehogs etc who are NOCTURNAL. Not only that but plants and trees need nighttime too. As do kids babies and ALL humans. This a RIDICULOUSLY shortsighted idea.

Trump administration meets with UK far-right activist Tommy Robinson

Trump administration meets with UK far-right activist Tommy Robinson

Agitator whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon was hosted by senior adviser at US state department The far-right activist Tommy Robinson has been hosted by the Trump administration for a meeting at the state department in Washington. Robinson, 43, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was hosted by Joe Rittenhouse, a senior adviser at the state department. Rittenhouse wrote on X: “Honoured to have free speech warrior @TRobinsonNewEra at Department of State today. “The world and the West is a better place when we fight for freedom of speech and no one has been on the front lines more than Tommy. Good to see you my friend!” Robinson, who has convictions for assault, using a fake passport, mortgage fraud and contempt of court for repeating false allegations against a Syrian refugee in breach of an injunction, wrote on X: “In America making alliances & friendships, today I had the privilege of an invite to the @StateDept.” Earlier this month, the far-right agitator said he has left the UK after he was warned by police that they received intelligence he was named in a so-called Islamic State publication which encouraged others “to commit violence” against him. He posted a clip of a phone call from police to his X account in which an officer told him he had been identified in a magazine called Yalghaar, which is reportedly published by ISKP (Islamic State Khorasan Province). Robinson wrote on X: “I have now left the country, I need time to work things out for my safety and the safety of my family. “I will probably have to relocate them.” In November, the far-right activist was cleared of a terror-related offence after being accused over a refusal to give police access to his phone during a border stop in Folkestone, Kent. After his acquittal, he thanked the US tech billionaire Elon Musk, who he said had funded his legal costs in the case. Scottish Green MSP Maggie Chapman told The National the Trump administration welcoming Robinson would be “deeply alarming”. She said: “This is a man who has built his profile on division, racism and Islamophobia, and whose politics are rooted in the most vile hatred and fascism, so it’s perhaps no surprise that Donald Trump’s White House are among his fans. “When communities across the UK are facing rising levels of hate crime and far-right extremism, the idea that figures like Robinson are being treated as legitimate political actors by what are supposed to be our international allies should concern us all.” Continue reading...

In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% — its lowest on record. Meanwhile, Meta is pumping $65 million into elections this year to boost AI friendly candidates. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax, it's corrosive to democracy. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

so fun fact: recently during the fraud investigations being redone by this season’s feds, MN’s rate of medicaid/medicare fraud was well below the national average nationally, it’s ≈ 6% each year; in minnesota it’s like ≈ 2.5% we know this is vindictive at this point

JD Vance: "We're announcing today that we have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that is going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax money."

If I close my left eye There’s a blind spot on my left side Close my right there’s a blind spot on my right. If I close both eyes whenever I desire I could only view what I choose to admire. Ignoring in darkness what I’d see in the light Would that help me sleep at night?

Engaging in confirmation bias, enables this to repeat itself. It assumes that this kind of thing is no longer happening - that your own political side or favourite leader had, or has suddenly, grown a moral compass. They haven’t. They’re scared of getting caught. Their silence is relevant.

If you are attempting to portray this total lack of morality and human decency as a left or right wing political issue, then you are engaging in confirmation bias to make yourselves feel better about your own past decisions on who you voted for or admired. It doesn’t defend your daughters or wives

Past leaders and even other women were willing to turn a blind eye to what was happening to these children and women to protect the wealthy across the world, to protect the reputations of predators. They don’t view your daughters as deserving of respect or protection - THEY VIEW THEM AS COMMODITIES

I’ll tell you what this tells me. That regardless of their words of condemnation, virtue signalling and finger pointing to avoid personal accountability, they view children and women, including your daughters as nothing more than fodder to be exploited to keep wealth circulating upward.

Let’s not pretend ONLY those in World power positions NOW are the ONLY culprits that need holding accountable. The knowledge of, the neglect of and the protections afforded to abusers of the children Epstein procured goes back MORE THAN A DECADE. THEY KNEW AND ALLOWED IT! What does that tell you?

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

NEW: Meta paid an income tax rate of just 3.5% last year. That’s the company’s lowest tax rate since it went public. Mark Zuckerberg's social media giant avoided $13.7 billion of federal income taxes in 2025. itep.org/meta-tax-bre...
