The Jospeh Rowntree Foundation's latest UK Poverty Report shows that:
The average person in poverty in 2021-24 was 29% below the poverty line, up from 23% in 1994-97.
More than 1 in 5 people in the UK were living in poverty in 2023/2-4. This amounts to 14.2 million people. Of these, 6.8 million were living in very deep poverty.
When 20% of our population are living in poverty, this is not happenstance but the result of deliberate political choice(s)!

Hidden in Plain Sight: Why Homelessness in Appalachia Reached a Breaking Point in 2024 and 2025

I recommend you organize a bloc of ticket holders that go to the Melania movie with the express purpose of harassing and disrupting the showing of the film.
Like this:
"...50 passes had been set aside for men purportedly intent on heckling, booing, and harassing Williams."
https://archive.is/htS7p#selection-2317.204-2317.304
That approach will work...once. After that, security gets wise to this tactic.
OK, use subtle tactics as listed in the Simple Sabotage Field Manual:
https://www.cia.gov/static/5c875f3ec660e092cf893f60b4a288df/SimpleSabotage.pdf
That document lists techniques suitable for sabotaging movie screenings.

IRS: Sorry, but It’s Just Easier and Cheaper to Audit the Poor
Congress asked the IRS to report on why it audits the poor more than the affluent. Its response is that it doesn’t have enough money and people to audit the wealthy properly. So it’s not going to.

We must continue to apply pressure.
When will the General Strike begin?

The Atlantic—no friend to anti-fascist movements—is reporting that ICE Truppenführer Greg Bovino is being demoted.
No politician or political party did this. It only occurred because of grassroots resistance and direct action.
ICE will keep kidnapping and murdering until we ourselves stop them. 🏴
We must continue to apply pressure.

Congressman Ro Khanna via Bluesky today:
"Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda.
1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.
2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.
3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.
4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law."
"5. Impeach Noem and Bondi.
6. End the Kavanaugh stops with racial profiling and end the militarization of ICE.
7. Codify a use of force standard so courts can enforce the law against rogue ICE agents.
8. Tear down and replace ICE with an agency that has oversight."
"Trump is engaged in the SYSTEMATIC destruction of the rule of law.
Only if Congress fights with every legal tool at our disposal including lawsuits in the courts, like we are doing with the Epstein files, can we stop this madness."
"We owe that to nurse Pretti and the hundreds of thousands on the streets risking their lives to stand up for our freedoms."
