I've got no problems with people wanting Burnham into parliament because they want to change leader, but this 'oh lets all work together/respect differences/ learn from each, collaboration' stuff is ridiculous. At least be honest about Andy's motives- he wanted Starmer's job. None of this stuff ⬇️

RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

While Australian heatwaves were some of the very first extreme events attributed to climate change, people still underestimate how much worse they got - killing more people than all other natural hazards combined.

Signs about the history of slavery in the U.S. and the 9 people George Washington enslaved are being removed right now at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, across from Independence Hall, months after the Trump administration threatend to do so. How far we have not come in 250 years.

This was a labour of love. :) Allowed me a space for catharcism and dark humour.

The notion that Labour would use Trump as a stick to beat Farage with would be unthinkable 24hrs ago. Starmer would characterise it as reckless - subordinating the special relationship to narrow partisan advantage. A head-spinning change of approach.

I think it's right that BBC News reports Trump confusing Greenland with Iceland in a superficially deadpan way. What I blame them for is that there's no Europecast. We don't even get news about the EU and never did. One reason we're at our current disadvantage wrt the EU.

Assault. Next, torture. Next murder.

"You need to stop obstructing us. That’s why that lesbian bitch is dead. Then he smashed the passenger window. The doors were unlocked, but he never attempted to open the doors.” Occupation is the right way to talk about Trump's 2000-strong paramilitary in Minnesota www.wired.com/story/how-ic...

His brain has gone. Retire him

“I don’t have to use force. I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force.” —comments on Greenland from pathological liar and bully Trump in Davos after demanding to own it

HE IS THREATENING TO USE FORCE. DON'T SAY HE IS NOT THREATENING TO USE FORCE.

Trump did mention force a hell of a lot of times. The scrambled brain foul spirit is definitely threatening force against Greenlanders.

Nigel Farage, biggest UK asset of Trump and Putin, earns more money than any other MP, and is found guilty today of falling to declare over half a million £ in financial interests. Too lazy and ignorant to be honest www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Give Trump nothing. His brain is spaghetti. Nothing in Greenland is due him

Would be a very happy outcome for me if Faraz won Traitors with help from James who gets to raise a middle finger at advantage-takers Rachel & Stephen. But the sensible thing for them to do is kill him because he's out of his shell, has no enemies but them, and is smart enough to win. Goodbye Faraz

It never stops being let's say interesting to me that 'criticism of Israel' manifests itself as shunning-or-worse Jews everywhere, whereas the US can do basically whatever and only a few fringe cranks take this out on ordinary Americans.

Plastics + synthetic fabrics are often cheap because governments subsidise extraction of the fossil fuels they're made from. Switching those subsidies + tax breaks to reuse schemes or clean materials could make it affordable to live a less polluting life. www.imf.org/en/blogs/art...

An illegal landfill isn't just unpleasant - breathing in hydrogen sulphide & methane, chemical pollutants seeping out from a huge, unlined, unfiltered, poorly managed tip - none of this is good for the health of people, wildlife or waterways.

5/ The policy implication is straightforward: the $200B customs revenue surge represents wealth transferred from American businesses and households to Treasury—not from foreigners to Americans.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

The split between Danny Tommo and Raise the Colours is turning into a bitter war of allegations. Tommo’s former comrades have alleged he was planning to start riots in northern France. He accused them of lying and raising huge amounts of money not being being spent on activism. Read more here:

Last week Nigel Farage doubled down on his 2015 comments about abolishing race discrimination legislation, to allow discrimination against non-British workers. Only The Mirror has reported it. Why can he constantly get away with his racism and xenophobia without scrutiny? bsky.app/profile/snig...

He opened the door to let his friend inside, and as he went to close the door, an ICE officer shot him in the leg. The DHS said he “began to resist and violently assault the officer.” They are trying to gaslight us. They will not succeed.

Now, imagine a simple model in which activists opt to engage in nonviolent or violent resistance and then the state responds with typical or excess force. (To be clear, the world is more complicated, but these simplifying assumptions help us describe some common patterns.) 3/

Quite worn down by trying to talk about trans rights (important to me) with proponents who have not done their homework. So many are unaware that Stonewall tried to eliminate biological sex from the census, and aren't curious about the implications. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Jenrick saying he's "put aside personal ambition" too join Reform is the single most shameless statement I've ever heard. If he "put aside personal ambition" he'd disappear. That's all there is.

Hope Not Hate @hopenothate.org.uk responds to Conservative defection to Reform UK

I can't abide people like Jenrick pretending that this country is entitled to a 'greatness' that 'people who went before us' made, when they were basically barging onto other people's land and taking what they wanted. His golden age is most people's hell
