    Cut public services, boost NYPD? NYC

    New York-Mayor Adams wants to cut the city's budget for useful services such as public libraries, and put the money into a sort of Cop City training center for uniformed thugs.

    Another Labour MP running as Independent

    Faiza Shaheen, a previous Labour candidate for Parliament who was just canceled, is running as an independent.

    The issues over which she was canceled seem like quibbles to me, and some were statements she made ten years ago. I probably don't agree with her 100% regarding Israel and Palestine, but I think I could vote for her.

    Modi's party not a legislative majority

    Modi's domination of India has suffered a setback: the Hinduismist party did not win a majority of the legislature itself. However, it can still form a government with the support of other parties.

    Can the opposition coalition, not in government, alter Modi's repression? If it lacks the strength to do that now, will its supporters be patient until the next election and not give up?

    Elon Musk trying to install a US govt.

    Robert Reich: Billionaires including Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Michael Milken and Steven Mnuchin are working together to make the corrupter president again. Reich contends that their aim is to roll back democracy itself.

    Musk has x-terminated the truth on Ex-Twitter by repeatedly endorsing the corrupter's lies about the 2020 election. That makes him systematically and fundamentally dishonest, like the corrupter himself.

    Some big vote-suppression plans, USA

    Georgia Republicans are arranging systematically to challenge the voting credentials of large numbers of black voters, just as the KKK did in 1946.
