Thousands attend 'Hands Along High' protest against #Trump administration on High Street https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/local/2025/08/09/trump-protest-high-street-downtown-columbus-ohio/85590841007/ #Columbus #Ohio

Under the law you basically can't exist without money. In cities you can't loiter or sleep in parks. In the bush you can't permanently camp on crown land. So if society won't allow you to exist without money and it believes you have the right to exist, society should give you a basic amount of money to exist.

When you get sick and ask the insurance company for some of that money you pay them every month in case you get sick

MARYLAND’S @govwesmoore.bsky.social : “No. I would not be open to it. It is not mission critical. That’s something I take very seriously as someone who wore the uniform, who had to say goodbye to my family.” As @GovBillLee plays politics with the TN National Guard to curry favor with Trump.

GOP governors are sending troops to DC. Their states have 10 cities with higher crime rates - EUROPE SAYS https://www.europesays.com/2352755/

Last month, New Jersey federal judges decided to fire Alina Habba, refusing to vote to extend her 120-day appointment as U.S. attorney for New Jersey, but the Trump administration found a loophole.

Now, a federal judge has ruled that Habba has been serving illegally. https://trib.al/dN2bhPe

😬 checking in on Nancy Mace’s bid for governor…

If the founding fathers witnessed the corruption and treason and fascism of the current President, they would not have impeached him. They would have hanged him..

Federal office says #WestVirginia should allow religious exemptions for school vaccine requirements. Sorry, but I cannot find chapter and verse where it says vaccines are forbidden. More evidence that #Trump and the GOP hate #Science. https://westvirginiawatch.com/2025/08/22/federal-office-says-west-virginia-should-allow-religious-exemptions-for-school-vaccine-requirements/

@RealJournalism Given that the US Government and States spend almost as much per capita on socialised health care - Medicare, Medicaid, and the VA - as UK Gov spends on the NHS, it blows my mind that so many Americans have to forego healthcare entirely.
This is especially noticeable when medical bills are the leading cause - by far - of bankruptcy in the US, and it just isn't a thing over here.
Yeah, your health "care" system is just a way of getting the Government (and, by extension, the tax payer) to subsidise the big medical companies.

I could see it. 😳
