The Bois Jacques and former #easycompany positions we visited on the @WWIImuseum Easy Company Tour yesterday, the day after #USMemorialDay
The US flags dotting the area and positions created an extra and humbling dimension to our visit.

Serious v unserious. Governing v protesting. That is the dividing line that Starmer can use against Farage. Much better than emulating his policies.

The UK is a two-tier society where money wields power.
Normal people marginalised.
Laws and policies are crafted to give the appearance of sternness and fairness, but are rarely fully enforced on corporations and the rich.
Must end political corruption

27 years ago, Congress passed First Lady Hillary Clinton’s Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) into law under Medicaid. Yesterday, the GOP made deep cuts to the program that provides health care for children.
RETWEET if you stand with @HillaryClinton against the GOP!

BREAKING: MAGA world erupts in rage at legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma after it's announced that he will be avoiding the Trump-controlled Kennedy Center in favor of other venues.
It turns out that our nation's best artists want nothing to do with this fascist president...
According to The Washingtonian, the Washington Performing Arts booking organization are avoiding placing talent at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts for the foreseeable future.
The Kennedy Center has seen an exodus of top talent in recent months as Donald Trump has fired roughly two dozen board members and stocked it with MAGA loyalists, including Richard Grenell as president.
A spokesperson for the Washington Performing Arts stated that they "will not utilize The Kennedy Center" because they are aiming to "thoughtfully match artists and their work with venues that best serve the art, the audience, and the moment."
They added that they "assessed the variety of artists and performances we have in this upcoming season and decided it was best to explore new spaces that offer fresh possibilities."
With the departure of the Washington Performing Arts, the Kennedy Center will lose out on other exciting performances as well. The organization announced "Sigourney Weaver and the Pacifica Quartet at Sixth and I for WPA’s annual Ruth Bader Ginsburg Memorial Concert, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at Strathmore, Yo-Yo Ma at Strathmore, and Midori at Sixth and I."
This news comes as just the latest blow to the Kennedy Center, which has been hemorrhaging money and sinking in popularity since Trump first got his grubby hands on it.
Katy Waldman of the The New Yorker recently stated that "no matter how well or badly the center was doing before Trump, the Trump anti-Midas touch is in operation here, and now everything is worse.”
“Not only are ticket sales down, but donations have been paused, artists are pulling out. All of the spigots for money have slowed or have been turned off,” she added.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you stand with Yo-Yo Ma!
