Good morning. The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you. Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty. If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐 There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

So exhausting..

Literally the authoritarian playbook: 1. Call your opponents terrorists. 2. Deploy state power against them. There's nothing subtle or confusing or complex about what's happening. The *outcome* is uncertain but the authoritarianism is right out in the open.

Now that's a campaign video. 👇🏽

Internet law: You see Tom Holland lip sync, you share Tom Holland lip sync.

@empiremagazine.bsky.social a while ago on the pod you made scathing comments about the Cats musical, saying it had no plot. I thought that must have been hyperbole. I saw it last week and was so confused. You were absolutely right!

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

The far more unsettling question of our time is how we still let people suffer from famine and genocide

This is in the replies and it demonstrates a real issue which is if you find profundity from an AI, you’re responding to something profound a human being wrote that was vacuumed up and what ends up happening is you thank AI and not only don’t thank the person, you have no idea they were involved

you’re so close

I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

I think anyone who has any form of platform who is not saying anything about what happened in London yesterday is saying a great deal about the world they will accept m.youtube.com/watch?v=H0-V...

This appears to be the ICE playbook, go to Mexican/Latino/Hispanic restaurants - arrest people who are just trying to make a living, leave a mess behind and then just leave the place wide open. It happened in Kansas City too. www.kcur.org/news/2025-07...

#ibrc2025 - is just over but the inspirations are going to fuel me for years to come. It's not #fatbatweek YET but @batgirlsusan.bsky.social, @nzbatman.bsky.social, @irorotanshi.bsky.social and the numerous other wonderful bat researchers I got to meet in person this past week: this is for you!

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority? ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles /

Incredible footage of the march across Sydney Harbour Bridge #FreePalestine

This is incredible

I wonder if leaders will ever admit that smearing all protests to stop the genocide actually contributed to the genocide. Will there ever be that level of self reflection and honesty or are we just going to get fake surprise like this after mass death.

STILL FINE

With 38 hrs to go to the EHRC consultation deadline I'm seeing posts from people feeling bad they're too stressed to engage. The GLP⬇️has removed all but the last step, a general comment box. This is a far easier task. I hope it helps those who want to, to get their voice heard without too much pain.

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

Jeremy Bowen's long, measured, objective, but ultimately entirely clear and conclusive essay on Israeli war crimes. As Jonathan Sumption puts it: "These things make genocide the most plausible explanation for what is now happening." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

BREAKING: An Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter has killed at least 25 Palestinians, mostly women and children, Gaza's Health Ministry said. The school was hit three times while people slept, setting their belongings ablaze, they added.

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

“I want to save as many as these 14,000 babies as we can in the next 48 hours,” he told the BBC.

This is a shocking read from a photographer on the ground in El Salvador:

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

Folks, they have less than 1k comments so far. Posts arguing about which way to hang toilet paper have more comments in facebook groups. If you are in any way involved in art: writing, music, acting, film MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD

No need to fret, David Mills. Its just a cute kitty cat!

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Full 12 minute clip, the edits in the original bugged me. As did the wonky aspect ratio. youtu.be/D-5cuqyRM9w

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others
