It's my job's second annual Pride Night, and we're trying to raise money for the Ruth Ellis Center, a non-profit organization in Detroit that "provides trauma-informed services for lesbian, gay, bi-attractional, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ+) youth, and young adults, with an emphasis on young people of color, experiencing homelessness, involved in the child welfare system, and/or experiencing barriers to health and wellbeing."
Any donation or pledge is appreciated! We'll be going by completed three-pointers for both men's and women's basketball teams. Both have a combined average of 10 3-pointers, so if you can spare $10, that's more than enough. Our goal is $1000. Last year we hit $230, so we hope to raise more than that.
This night (day, really, but I digress) means so much to me. I'm trying to make this better than last year's games. The games are on January 20, so any donations or pledges need to be placed by 6:30 PM EST. Please boost!

The Truth, The Whole Truth And Nothing But The Truth
Question
What do the following political leaders have in common?
David Cameron, Nick Clegg, Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak, and Keir Starmer.
Answer
They all made pledges they did not keep.
Cameron broke several pledges, not least his promise not to raise VAT. “We have absolutely no plans to raise VAT” he told Jeremy Paxman during an interview about his first budget. VAT was then raised from 17.5% to 20% despite Cameron’s pledge to the contrary.
Nick Clegg pledged not to raise university tuition fees. “I pledge to vote against any increase in fees in the next parliament and to pressure the government to introduce a fairer alternative.” This pledge was abandoned immediately Nick Clegg became Deputy Prime Minister under the Tory/Lib/Dem coalition government.
Boris Johnson, as we all now know, is incapable of telling the truth about anything if he sees a personal advantage in lying to us.
Rishi Sunak promised, on the steps of No 10 Downing Street, "This government will have integrity, professionalism, and accountability at every level. Trust is earned and I will trust yours.” Since then Sunak has been accused of covering up ministers actions during the pandemic, and rather than being "accountable at every level” is being taken to court to force him to hand over information vital to the Covid Enquiry.
Keir Starmer made ten pledges during his bid for the Labour Party leadership. Having won that contest he has now abandoned nearly every one of those promises. Such is the disillusionment of Labour members that membership is haemorrhaging by the thousands. The BBC reported a loss of 90.000 members by August 2022.
Under Starmer’s leadership, the Labour Party no longer offers an alternative to the broken policies of the Tories. Just like Nick Clegg, Boris Johnson, David Cameron and Rishi Sunak, Keir Starmer is prepared to promise ANYTHING to gain power, but once elected go back on his word.
This country deserves so much better from our political leaders.

This comes after some college students in Missouri as well as elsewhere in the country have suffered serious injuries or death following acts of hazing on campuses. Many of these incidents involve heavy consumption of alcohol in a short period of time. One case, the Danny Santulli case, at the University of Missouri, has garnered national attention.

Marketing a Pledge Fundraiser: 3 Essential Steps to Follow
Guest Post by Brad Dowhaniuk of 99Pledges
If you’re already familiar with pledge fundraising, you may know about some of the benefits of using this method. For example, let’s say your nonprofit organized a read-a-thon and asked donors to pledge $3 for every hour their participant spends reading. Not only are participants in control of how much they earn for your cause, but donors may be willing…

“Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides.” (Andre Malraux)
When Keir Starmer was campaigning for the leadership of the Labour Party in 2020 he made ten pledges. Promising to, “advance the interests of the people our party was created to serve…based on the moral case for socialism”, his first pledge was:
“ Economic justice
Increase income tax for the top 5% of earners, reverse the Tories’ cuts in corporation tax and clamp down on tax avoidance, particularly of large corporations. No stepping back from our core principles.”
Nothing remotely radical about this, increasing taxes for top earners and corporations is standard Labour party policy, and cutting down on tax avoidance is just common sense. Tory Britain, after all, is one of the few countries in the world to encourage corporate tax avoidance.
“The UK is by far the world’s biggest enabler of corporate tax dodging, helping funnel hundreds of billions of dollars away from state coffers, according to an international investigation.
"Of the top 10 countries allowing multinationals to avoid paying billions in tax on their profits, four are British overseas territories.” (Independent: 28/05/19)
In order to rescue our cash-starved, failing public services - the NHS, education, social care, etc - taxes have to be increased, and it is only fair that corporations and the wealthy, many of whom have been avoiding paying tax for years, contribute their fair share. We all know that in Britain work is taxed while tax relief is given to those on unearned income: tax on earned income is twice as much as tax paid on unearned income.
Despite this Starmer has now abandoned much of his first pledge. There is to be limited economic justice only. Rachel Reeves, Starmer’s Shadow Chancellor, now tells us there are "no plans” to increase income tax for the rich and there and "no plans” to increase capital gains tax.
According to Reeves, it is Labour and not the Conservatives, who are now the party of business.
“Labour is now ‘pro-business', vows Rachel Reeves." (Financial Times: 19/01/22)
Keir Starmer’s pledge to look after "the interests of the people our party was created to serve” has now been abandoned and replaced by the interests of big business.
In George Orwell’s Animal Farm the leaders of the downtrodden animals are the pigs who lead a revolution against their human exploiters. Over time the pigs become corrupt and betray the animals they promised to liberate, making deals with the very men who treated them so unfairly.
"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."
I think the same can be said of Keir Starmer: he is man who is becoming more Tory than the Tories themselves, and when we compare his economic policies with those of the Conservative Party it is impossible to say which is which.
