Never felt so scared. Triggered. That march felt like I was back in the 1960's, the real 1960s, not the pretend one people talk crap about, the one where we lived behind boarded windows to stop firebombs and shit being put through the letterbox, when I'd get beaten by white grown ups and kids for being a little black girl not running home fast enough. If I feel like this, read what this doctor says about what happened at the hospital when the marchers came.
Obama just said what everyone’s thinking but too many are afraid to admit: If he had done even a fraction of what Trump’s doing—blacklisting press, punishing dissent, targeting student protestors—the outrage would’ve been deafening.
But now? Silence. Because when the Constitution gets torched by someone in your tribe, suddenly principles are optional.
This isn’t about policy anymore—it’s about power unchecked and hypocrisy on full display.
You may not hear it on Fox News, but the evidence is overwhelming:
Yes, Israel is blocking humanitarian aid to Palestinians. Children are starving. And 42,000 people have been killed.
It’s no secret what the NHS needs:
- increase bed capacity by 20,000
- increase primary care capacity by 50%
Total cost = ~£12b
Total amount the private sector took out of the NHS last year = £12b
Yes, it’s a political choice!
