Children living in poverty in the UK

mardi 21 mars 2017 à 01:00

30% of the children in the UK live in poverty. 20% live in poverty while their parents work.

This is the result of plutocracy. New Labour mainly served the rich but helped the poor somewhat. The Tories have pushed hard to drive the poor down.

Urgent: Oppose Gorsuch

mardi 21 mars 2017 à 01:00

US citizens: call on senators (specifically Democrats) to oppose Gorsuch.

Then phone your own senators (one after the other) via 1-888-877-2040 to tell them the same thing.

People for the American Way mailed me this:

With his history of favoring corporate interests above everyday people, it should be no surprise that the New York Times just reported that Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch has ties to reclusive Colorado billionaire Philip F. Anschutz. Formerly a lawyer representing Anschutz's companies in court, Gorsuch now owns property in Colorado with some of Anschutz's closest associates. Anschutz is reported to have provided funding to both the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society, the two far-right organizations to which Trump outsourced the job of creating his list of Supreme Court nominees, from which Gorsuch was chosen. Between his close relationship with an ultra-conservative billionaire and his decisions that have favored corporations and harmed workers and consumers, it's clear that the majority of Americans who want to save our democracy from the influence of big money have a lot to worry about when it comes to this nominee.
