There is no possible way many people would be able to survive on £433 per month, for everything, including rent, especially someone who's come to the UK seeking asylum with no ability to work and few to no ties. This is a policy seemingly aimed at making people homeless. inews.co.uk/news/200-are...

Michael Wolff vs. Melania Trump: See you (and your husband) in court.

Been waking up to the reports from Sudan on the World Service every morning. Heartbreaking

Some of the comments on here regarding today’s awful events in Manchester make me sick. If you think British Jews are responsible for the actions of Netanyahu then you share the same platform as those who think British Muslims are responsible for the actions of ISIS. Awful awful people

This is Elon speaking to 100,000 far right protesters in London yesterday. He called for the dissolution of Parliament. He is dangerous.

🔥The Togo Protests: A Challenge to a Revised #Political #Dynasty? 🔎Explore the background of the current #protests in #Togo, and the demands that continue the recurrence of the agitations. 👉See www.pambazuka.org/Togo-Protests @malangwa.bsky.social @ambermurrey.bsky.social @chitra.bsky.social

Public demonstrations are rare in Togo, but last month, young people took to the streets for protests against a constitutional reform that many see as a way for the country’s longtime ruler, Faure Gnassingbe, to maintain his grip on power indefinitely.

Oh this is surprisingly interesting- please read and share

I wonder why #IMISCOE is still on X rather than here 🦋

But what got me thinking is the routine celebration of the growing size of #IMISCOE as if it is per se a positive indicator of something, which is a bit surprising considering the theme of last conference was reflexivity...

Nu pratar vi reproduktion! Kul! Det föds för få barn sägs det. Strunt i sån alarmism. 1. Den globala befolkningen ökar dagligen. Hittills idag med 97000 personer (kolla själv på World Population Clock!) Behövs folk just i Sverige finns ju alltså den enkla lösningen invandring 🥰

There's a great live video from @reuters.com today in Los Angeles, but I can't post it bc it's over 3 mins long. So I took a couple screenshots. This is what Trump and his thugs are calling a violent insurrection. Notice even the police just lulling around and laughing with the protestors.

give ecosia a try, they plant trees and also don't give AI summaries 🙂‍↕️

The problem is not that there are too many Americans protesting in the streets. The problem is that there are not enough. Not by a long shot.

Particularly pathetic as a fake emergency but that is on brand for this admin

Shocking new stats on what Americans are watching to learn about the state of the world www.adweek.com/tvnewser/her...

At least now it’s clear what DOGE was for. Not governance. Not transparency. It was data extraction disguised as duty— a quiet transfer of power from the state to the algorithm. And now the machine has a name: Palantir. And a handler: Peter Thiel. #DOGE #Palantir #SurveillanceState #TechBros

This one has an interesting life cycle: Gymnosporangium clavariiforme or cedar rust. #fungifriends #weirdandwonderful

I am afraid these are the new values. The vdL Commission continues to erode its guardian duty in favor of cozying up to the member states for agenda setting influence. Another form of constitutional forbearance. All of EU now pretty unidirectional (to the radical right) in asylum/refugee policy.

According to litigators, on Tuesday, at one detention center in Texas, ICE gathered together 1 Vietnamese, 1 Lao, and 4 other people in detention and ordered them to sign paperwork agreeing to be sent to Libya. All 6 refused, so ICE handcuffed them and threw them into solitary.

Holy crap. The D.V.D. litigators say the planned flight to Libya was going to be for Southeast Asian nationals!
