We need bolder action to tackle the cost-of-living crisis. That means addressing soaring energy bills, tackling sky-high housing costs, and bringing in a wealth tax to fund our crumbling public services.

“When humanitarian missions are stopped and people trying to help are treated like this, something has gone very wrong.” The Green Party's Zak Khan after returning from the Global Sumud Flotilla, the rest of which has been forcibly stopped by Israeli navy this morning.

Yesterday, a new generation of civil rights activists marched from Selma to Montgomery to fight for voting rights. As states across the country try to make it harder for citizens to be heard, we need to learn the lessons of those who came before us and refuse to take our democracy for granted.

No question that declaring the climate crisis a global public health emergency would help people in the wake of the super El Niño that is about to arrive and save lives. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Kindness is resistance. Integrity is resistance. Compassion is resistance. Empathy is resistance. Honesty is resistance. Courage is resistance. Inclusion is resistance. Joy is resistance. Art is resistance. Generosity is resistance. Knowledge is resistance. Love is resistance. Let's keep resisting.

Who could have guessed - voters are opposed to Reform's plan to punish voters who live in areas which don't vote for Reform By @willem-moore.bsky.social www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

The media forensically dissects the pasts of people who challenge the status quo, such as Polanski and Corbyn. Fair enough, up to a point: we should know about our representatives. But it's far less inquisitive about those who defend power, however great their misdeeds, such as Nigel Farage.🧵

A way to be an ally to Jews is to relentlessly point out that there are more Christian Zionists in the US alone then there are Jews in the entire world (many of whom are not even Zionists). The conversation about Zionism should be dominated by that rather than laying all blame at the feet of Jews.

Most of the cruel, racist stereotypes now being propagated about Muslims and immigrants were originally crafted as antisemitic attacks on Jews. The language and sources are in some cases exactly the same. Prejudice against any minority endangers all minorities. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Reform took a £5m donation and they're trying to distract you. Farage is just another establishment stooge. Like in Gorton & Denton - the only way to stop Reform on Thursday - Vote Green. Join.greenparty.org.uk

The Greens will put workers in control. www.ft.com/content/431a...

Nigel Farage has been accused by multiple people he grew up with of extreme antisemitic comments and behaviour. Yet he's allowed to present himself as a champion of Jewish people. Meanwhile, our only Jewish leader, Zack Polanski, is smeared - because he opposes genocide.

Zack Polanski explains why having more Green councillors after the May elections will help improve the lives of people in their communities "We are looking at things like rent control" "Up to 50% of renters are one pay check away from losing their homes" "That's unacceptable"

Think Nigel is scared to debate Zack, who actually calls out his BS - unlike mainstream media or other politicians.

Such a wonderful interview. Powerful to hear Hannah speaking so clearly about the cost of living crisis and the dire political choices by this Labour Government. Let's make different choices and support everyone - rather than the super rich. youtu.be/ffpDGH1-5tY?...

Well this is illuminating theintercept.com/2026/04/23/c...

14 Palestinians were murdered by settlers in the occupied West Bank in 2025, while since 2026, the number has so far risen to 15

WTAF I suppose I shouldn't be surprised given this is Palantir. But still WTAF

BREAKING: Victor Orban has CONCEDED to Magyar www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Green Party's rise continues, both in polls and its membership figures — all because they're offering a clear alternative to the status quo

Breaking news… Green GAIN from Reform! 🎉🎉🎉

This is key to political understanding: austerity causes a rise in support for the far right. BTW, austerity is *not over*, unless you accept the meaningless official definition. A meaningful definition is "a decline in public services caused by a shortfall in funding". catherinedevries.eu/NHS.pdf

The 0.01% own half the £2.68trn hidden abroad, which is almost the UK's entire GDP, and governments are enabling the hoarding

The receipts. A complete timeline of the shifting rhetoric. More: www.meidasplus.com/p/today-in-p...

Labour's core voters, on which its re-election entirely depends, are crystal clear about this: they absolutely hate its illiberal, intolerant, draconian, rightwards turn. Hence the total collapse in support. So how does the government respond? #SuicideMission🤦‍♂️ thesecretbarrister.com/2026/03/07/k...

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage. I learned a lot.

Reform have nothing to offer but divisive hate. Blaming migrants and communities struggling to get by. Hannah Spencer understands Manchester, she knows the value of work and will actually get things done. Thursday - it's Greens Vs Reform. Hope Vs Hate. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Monstrous.

This is Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been imprisoned by ICE for a year. He was about to get new prosthetic legs when he was kidnapped… and they won’t let him have them. His health is declining & there’s been almost no media coverage. No protests. No noise.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores. TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti. Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret. Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

They darkened her skin. They made her heavier. They made her look older. They made it look like she was crying when she was courageous. I just wrote days ago that Trump hates no demographic in America more than Black women. How much more evidence does one need? This is as openly racist as it gets.

1. This short thread is about the issue that dominates almost every aspect of politics, and causes or exacerbates most of our problems: the extreme wealth of a small number of people. Here’s the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest. 🧵1/10
