US citizens: call on Congress to fund the IRS and stop billionaire tax dodging.

The Capitol Switchboard number is 202-224-3121.

Angela Rayner, deputy leader of Labour, called Tories "scum". Now half the scum in Britain are distracting attention from their policies of cruelty by rebuking her crude language.

What Rayner said was totally justified, but the way Aneurin Bevan (also working class) said it was more effective and harder to attack superficially: "The Tories are lower than vermin." Be using a less common word to condemn them, and putting it inside a comparison, he made it sound incisive rather than crude.

Rayner should not even hint at apologizing, but rather than defending her insult, she should press the attack with varieties of brief but substantial condemnations.

*Cop26 climate talks will not fulfill aims of Paris agreement, key players warn.*

What is needed to put civilization on a path to saving itself? Would 10,000 people blocking streets and gluing themselves to airplanes do the job?

* El Salvador women march against abortion laws amid planned Latin America-wide protests.*

If you send me a URL for a site that states the time and place of future protests (either for one country or for Latin America generally), and it functions adequately without running nonfree JS code, I will link to them.

"Functions adequately" means you can find the list of planned future protests in your country, with the time and place, so you can participate. It isn't useful to post details about protests that have already taken place.
