Trophy Hunting is sick and psychopathic and should never be normalized. Please RT if you agree that there should be a global ban on trophy hunting #BanTrophyHunting

"No Kings Act" I can think of a few "Kingdoms" where many subjects would be more than happy to bring such legislation.
BREAKING: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer sends shockwaves through MAGA world by formally introducing legislation to strip away Donald Trump's broad "presidential immunity." And it gets even better... The aptly named "No Kings Act" was introduced by Schumer and 34 Senate Democrats to undo the damage inflicted by the corrupt Republican-controlled Supreme Court's decision to grant presidents immunity for "official acts." The bill would clarify and codify the law so that presidents and vice presidents are not immune to prosecution for violating federal criminal law. Better still, it would bar the Supreme Court's ability to hear challenges to the constitutionality of the new law, funneling such challenges to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals instead. "The Founders were explicit – no man in America shall be a king. Yet, in their disastrous decision, the Supreme Court threw out centuries of precedent and anointed Trump and subsequent presidents as kings above the law," said Schumer. "Given the dangerous and consequential implications of the Court’s ruling, legislation would be the fastest and most efficient method to correcting the grave precedent the Trump ruling presented," he added. While the legislation will likely not achieve the 60 vote threshold necessary to pass, introducing it sends a powerful message to the American people. Democrats stand for democracy, Republicans stand for monarchy. If we want this bill made law, we have to vote blue and hand Democrats a stronger majority in the Senate and make sure that they seize control of the House this November. The future is in our hands. Vote blue, save America!

Exactly, I read Kezia Dugdale's piece the other day saying Labour would have to remove things like free prescriptions and free university tuition when they get into power so we'll have to make sure Labour never get anywhere near power in Scotland. Scots have a lot to lose.

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed. But he still needed a 45% pay rise. Like if he needs a pay cut. RT if you want the Monarchy gone. #NotmyKing

In case you needed another reminder: When billionaires take control of our most vital communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

If German kids are strong enough to learn about the Holocaust, then children in the U.S. and Canada should be strong enough to learn about abusive Indian residential schools. Agree? #TeachTrueHistory – at Los Angeles, CA

It's exhausting to read about bad decisions made in the name of education that are purely about saving money. Students retain better by reading on paper. We all know from personal experience that it's true. This is the wrong direction! @toughLoveforx @CHopeMurray @scottdraeger

The Fourteenth Amendment itself, in Section 3, answers the question whether disqualification is “anti-democratic,” declaring that it is not.  Rather, it is the conduct that gives rise to disqualification that is anti-democratic, per the command of the Constitution.
