Trump’s America is not Britain’s Friend
The United Kingdom stands at a precipice. As the shadows of a second Donald Trump presidency loom over the United States, the spectre of right-wing populism waits in the wings here at home. The victory of the new Labour Government on barely a third of the popular vote offers only momentary, threadbare respite. The next election will be fought in the most politically fragmented climate in our nation’s modern history. Labour are in from the cold. Keir Starmer’s party may well enjoy themselves, but it’s later than they think.

I'm Not Surprised with Walmart. Content Warning.
Honestly, I am not surprised with Walmart. In case you haven’t heard Walmart is supporting our soon-to-be president Donald J. Trump. Walmart has decided to part ways with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiative programs. DEI is based on the idea that recruiting and supporting workers of various backgrounds is integral to a company's success, and encompasses policies and initiatives designed to help all employees feel welcomed and equipped to perform their jobs at a high level and suppliers owned by other minorities like the LGBT Community. The program was set up in 2020 after the death of George Floyd, an African American from Minneapolis, Minnesota who was kneeled by on his neck causing him to suffocate to death. Until Trumps' presidential victorious presidential win, Walmart announced that it will no longer renew a five-year commitment for racial equity.

"UNIQUE HUMANS". Content Warning.
I created this article and art to finalize my story writing regarding the results of the 2024 election. I am having a GRIM time wrapping my head around the masses of people who voted for authoritarian rule. I AM NOT GOING BACK! I must shout it out! This is the 21st century and the far-right wealthy people and over half of America voted to live under authoritarian rule. If I were wealthy, I would still be an empath, humanatarian, and caring person, not a rich fool that wants to dictate to the world. In my opinion' anyone who wants to dictate over others is a very weak human. A dictator has mental issues, low self-esteem, and is a bitter individual full of hate, destruction, and anger. They are small people who must bully others to cover up their inadequacies and fear of rejection as they tear up everything and everyone that disagrees with their abuse.
