The billionaire Media constantly attacks pensions, benefits and Public Services because they get nothing from them and they want them destroyed. Meanwhile the tax dodging and profiteering of the greedy billionaires goes ignored. Because they are not going to blame themselves.

Had to work until she was 68, never saw a cent from her invention. None of the billionaires are inventors they are all the crooks that stole from the inventors.

The Onion produced this as Satire less than 3 years ago. It is now reality.

“Reform has the most extreme policy on energy and climate the UK has seen since modern science on the subject began. The party opposes solar; it opposes wind; it opposes batteries… Once again: Reform is largely funded by fossil fuels” Private Eye on the anti-thought, pro-corruption threat of Reform

A good reminder for the few who forgot: MTG is a toxic pro-Russian traitor. Democrats should not associate with her in any way

Traitors in the West support Moscow. Democrats who whitewashed MTG made a huge mistake. There is no space for pro-Russian traitors in the opposition to Trump

I just can't believe that the party responsible for Brexit hasn't been banished to the political wilderness for a generation. Then I remember that I thought the exact same thing about the Iraq War and the GOP. People will invite ignorance and hatred back in, no matter the damage they do.

Reform UK wants to shut this down. If it did so, it would throw a million people out of work. Why? because it is beholden to the fossil fuel industry. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"Artificial intelligence is an anti-community technology whose principal civic innovation is to reduce social trust and engender a greater sense of unreality in our lives."

Your 'moment of doom' for June 1, 2026 ~ Inferno. "The disasters in 2025 included a Scottish 'megafire' that torched more than 100,000 hectares ... and the Palisades and Eaton fires in Los Angeles, which were among the most destructive in US history." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

Scott Pelley is a hero, and it really makes you wonder: where has this spirit been? In other media figures, other executives, other people who have seen these oligarchs degrade everything of value in this country? Why is it so striking & unusual for *anyone to fight back*?

I think it's important to put this is a large framework of understanding. Democracy, equal treatment under law, accessible education, a merit-based economy, prosperity, all produced a Black president and lots of empowered women -- and elite America said enough. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/u...

Putin spoke about "traditional family values"&urged Russians to have more children We know why he wants more children -the supply of cannon fodder for the frontlines is running out.

Gary Gibbon, "It's quite possible to lose your way in this sprawling victorian melodrama that is the Mandelson saga" "We have a prime minister who is badly, in political terms mortally wounded, he can barely get up off the floor"

New York Democrats have broadcast a very clear message to the rest of the country: "climate policy is a costly luxury. If you're worried about affordability, roll back your climate policies."

A new Moodys analysis shows that the average American household has paid $450 more for gas & energy since the start of this pointless, dumbass war.

Latest Mandelson files are out. Pulling out a few bits "On 31 March [officials] wrote to Peter Mandelson - via his solicitors - to request any information held on his personal phone...[He] declined to comply with this request. The Government has no further recourse to search [his] personal devices"

We’re conditioned to avoid offending the privileged even if it’s at the expense of standing with the oppressed. That is because we regard not offending the privileged as our mandatory duty while supporting the oppressed as an optional charity. Stop and think about this for a minute please.

Insurance won’t fix the NHS – it’ll quietly ration care. Missed diagnoses, rising bills, impossible choices between food and treatment. Read now – see why Reform’s plan is a trap. Matthew Pugh reports

A young man at our town hall asked if I was pushing class warfare. I told him: “We already have class warfare in this country — billionaires are waging war on the rest of us.”

In bookstores in the UK on May 21 Very much looking forward to this

Billionaires paying zero tax is radical. Taxing them more is not.

Of course, because when people are suffering they look for change. Many of these folks are also not reading outside of media platforming nothing else but Reform. Reform won’t deliver them from inequality which is the real issue. Labour has been so far to the right, they offer no real alternative.

Claudia Sheinbaum refuses to enable the Republican Political Party in their closed conspiracies. Probably a good idea since the Republican Political Party is in bed with the drug cartels. Which someone in Mexico exposed. www.nbcsandiego.com/news/nationa...

A great write-up in The Saturday Paper of a big new report from Greenpeace Australia Pacific which I led. It is heartening how seriously our warning has been taken, and how a whole bunch of stories that have come out in the days since we published just completely vindicated everything we've said :)

I’m becoming increasingly Ossoff-pilled re. 2028.

There’s a very clear and obvious reason the right is so skeptical of medicine: there’s a ton of right-wing money being spent to make it so. Why did it get so bad with COVID? The big money on the right saw public health measures as economically disruptive and politically unpalatable. So here we are

God, reading about UK politics is depressing. There is a massive, coordinated media attack on Net Zero, led by the RW press (& accelerated by Musk's X). It is *wildly* out of sync with public opinion, but it is slowly working, convincing even labour MPs that the public is more right than it is.

🚨 THIS IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A REAL REBELLION. For months, Republicans have marched in lockstep behind nearly everything coming out of Trump's White House. Not this time. According to Ted Cruz, at least 20 Republican senators were furious during a closed-door meeting with Todd Blanche over the

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

Burgum used to be a "normal" figure, w successful tech-biz career. When he was running for prez in 2024 primaries, against DJT, he told Meet the Press that he "wouldn't do business" w Trump, because "you're judged by the company you keep." www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRJU... Indeed you are.
