I'd never condone violence against a police officer - this is utterly dishonest.
The jury weren't judging them on a terrorism offence. This is an awful sleight of hand.
The creeping encroachment of terror laws onto protest & removal of our juries should worry all of us.
If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $1.2 trillion that he's worth today.
Elon would still be the wealthiest man alive & every family in America would have universal childcare.
The funniest part about the world rallying behind Zoran Mamdani is that he’s literally just doing his job, but by doing so shows us that every other politician is just lining their pockets & leaving us to rot 😭
Just a totally delusional post that ignores the key fact that Obama signed a nuclear deal with Iran that Iran was complying with, per the IAEA, that was robust, per Trump’s Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, but that Trump, not Tehran, tore up. Leading to today’s war.
Don’t let these people gaslight you.
Remember when Musk challenged the World Food Program to explain how he could solve world hunger with just $6 billion, they did, and he just completely ignored them?
Hilary Benn is spot on: Peaceful protest is one thing, but masked thugs stopping cars to check skin colour and burning families out their homes?
“This is RACIST THUGGERY. There is no question about it at all.”
The enormity of the Filton 4 outcome is hard to overstate.
3 of the 4 were found guilty of criminal damage, and that alone. No terror-related charges were involved. But they have, for the first time, been *sentenced* as terrorists.
I suspect this will become more & more common.
This isn’t a success story.
This is the story of a system designed to allow the obscenely wealthy and powerful exploit taxpayers and the working class to transfer wealth to themselves, while the majority of Americans struggle to afford basic necessities.
