At @fightingdirty.bsky.social, we sued over this issue, and lost on the grounds that the Environment Agency couldn't be in breach because the government had issued no direction. An absurdity, which means that poisons continue to be spread on farmland every day. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The man who launched an attempted coup on the United States in 2020 and instigated an insurrection at the Capitol that resulted in five deaths now claims that people in Los Angeles are launching an insurrection. They’re not. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

The news is horrible, the killing of children and civilians is very sad, and there are some nasty psychos in charge of belligerent countries, chiefly Netanyahu, Putin and Trump.

At least 55,000 Palestinians, over half women and children, have been killed by Israel in the Israel–Hamas war, with more than 127,000 wounded (many more trapped under rubble) and 2 million facing starvation under Israel’s aid blockade. Trump regime backs Israeli war crimes, threatens ICC.

The plunder of our seas by industrial fishing is a monstrosity in which almost everyone unwittingly collaborates. For decades this truth has been deliberately hidden from us. Now at last the consensus is cracking. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Apparently letting a country that gave up nukes be invaded will lead other countries to decide they better have nukes cos they won't believe your promises that they don't need nukes. Who could ever have guessed?

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

“State media also said that civilians, including children, were also among those killed.” Israel killing children in Gaza and now in Iran: no respect for life or peace, just a dangerous bully on the world stage. Increasingly worrying times… stocks.apple.com/AqCI38hYKQlO...

Disney and NBC Universal have filed a landmark copyright infringement lawsuit against A.I. company Midjourney, alleging the unauthorized use of their IP. stocks.apple.com/A4O6NyD__T9y...

Israel attacks Iran with missiles. Israel is an international terrorist state, the dangerous bully in the room. The world is a very dangerous place because of Netanyahu, Trump, Putin. stocks.apple.com/ANS9S2zbjSb2...

It reminds me of Roberto Saviano’s Gomorrah, the part where an ignorant & greedy local Camorra (mafia) family dumps toxic waste on their own territory, for profit. As if the Earth, air, water, soil was someone else’s problem. Thank you as always @georgemonbiot.bsky.social for your reporting.

We are literally poisoning the earth that we depend upon & feeds us. Or: some people/companies & failing regulators will poison ☠️ us, for profit 💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷

Astonishing what big companies will do for money 👇 incl. endangering our lives & ecosystems😡 Water/energy companies should be public-owned, not private/for profit, but both Tory & Labour Govt’s are weak, spineless & part of the problem. Well done @georgemonbiot.bsky.social for reporting 👇

The US invasion of Iraq began on this day 22 years ago. In the years since, the United States spent roughly $10 trillion on the so-called "war on terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, housing, and education?

#ThamesWater begs to be spared fines & costs, warning bidders will walk away - The Guardian. Hedge funds & private equity are worse than parasites; @premnsikka.bsky.social and @peterstefanovic.bsky.social can you please comment on how it got this bad 😡 #greed stocks.apple.com/AyhVn2O4SSFy...

Thames Water refinancing scam. Pimco books 17% instant profit on Thames Water emergency loan. Company already has £19.5bn debt, another £3bn added, customer bills will rocket. OFWAT doesn't protect people. archive.ph/9rIel

A reminder that Russia has bombed hospitals in Ukraine 😡 and then in the words of Supreme Leader Trump (Russian asset) it is #Zelensky who “doesn’t want peace”. 😡😤

The 3 objectives of Trump/Vance planned verbal attack on Zelensky in the Oval Office are clear: 1) humiliate Zelensky 2) make Putin happy, and crucially 3) stop military support to 🇺🇦 by blaming Zelensky for “not wanting peace” and for WW3. Very dangerous times for all. #trump #fbpe

Well said ⬇️ things look bleak, it’s important to see current affairs with clarity, but it’s also important to do what we love: I keep making music, animation & motion design, audiovisual artwork 💪🎬🎞🎦🎵🎹🎛🎚✊

From what we’ve seen so far in just a few weeks of Trump 2.0: I think he, Musk, project 2025, the GOP etc will try to create more & more disruption to the point the US Gov won’t function anymore, possible riots in the streets, and he’ll try to call martial law or some sort of shit to stay in power 👀

After Trump & Vance premeditated ambush of Zelensky in Washington, it’s clear more than ever that the UK has to re-align with Europe and rejoin the EU. The geopolitical alliances have shifted, USA with Russia dictatorship / Europe on its own. #FBPE #rejoin #Europe

This weeks cover of the always superb @theneweuropean.bsky.social www.theneweuropean.co.uk/subscribe/

Dear fellow #FBPE, here’s the latest unadulterated total BS by Trump about us: “the European Union was formed to screw the United States, that’s the purpose of it…” 👀😂🤣😂🙄 Any comments? 🇪🇺💪

Trump Gaza video: @mrjamesob.bsky.social you asked why he made the #AI video: in my view he’s trolling us, it’s designed to offend people. It’s obvs in very poor taste, an insult to the tens of thousand of Palestinians incl. innocent civilians, women, children killed in bombardments. A new low for 🇺🇸

It is obvious but worth repeating that regimes built on lies survive only as long as they can suppress truth. The promotion of complicit media (alternative facts) & denigration of objective media (facts) is not just desirable but essential. This process is being turbo-charged in the USA right now.

The New European: Carbon trading, the next Brexit disaster www.theneweuropean.co.uk/james-ball-c...

A new low for the #USA 🇺🇸 & #trump but no surprises. He is trolling us, and most of all it’s designed to offend Palestinians. It’s also a bad #AI video in very poor taste, an insult to the tens of thousands of people, innocent civilians, women & children killed by the Israeli army in Gaza.

It would be only fair if Tesla collapsed, but as the 🇺🇸 Gov is run as a criminal, corrupt organisation, is it not likely that Musk will take more subsidies, tax breaks etc for billions of $$$?

French lower house votes through wealth tax. A 2% minimum tax rate on the wealth of individuals whose net worth exceeds €100m. It is not yet law. UK needs to do similar to reduce inequalities. Instead govts penalise low/middle income families and make poor pay more for crumbling infrastructure.

Absolutely, this country is a rip off 😡
