It's officially the hottest June day ever. We know who is to blame. Fossil fuel firms. The billionaire media. Weak politicians. We know what we must do. Rapid decarbonisation & adaptation for a healthier, wealthier country safe for future generations.

Ha ha! Stoopid is as stoopid does. And all so predictable, apparently. From 1 month ago...

Let's mark the 10th anniversary of the disastrous decision to leave the EU by banning the phrase 'respecting the Brexit vote' Effectively it means allowing the votes of older people, many of whom have since died, to trump the life chances of millions of young people

Greenspan. Rest in oven.

What would child-safe social media look like, and would everyone want the same? 1. Every user independently authenticated by a 3rd party. Children authenticated by their schools. Adults authenticated using their bank account’s AML/KYC rules.

JD Vance is a product of Peter Thiel, who is obsessed with Carl Schmitt. Schmitt argued that a dictator seizes power through a "state of exception"—when the rules are suspended due to some "emergency." "Sovereign is he who decides on the exception." Vance is vastly more dangerous than Trump.

When are people going to get it through their heads that Russia is trying to ruin all liberal democracies and wealthy fascists in almost all our democracies are helping them.

One detail in this fascinating BBC investigation into the Russia-instigated attack on Keir Starmer's home is the way it shows, in passing but very clearly, that Tommy Robinson is to all intents and purposes a Russian asset. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Way hay - let’s all celebrate!!!!! Such an advancement for MAN-kind!

Jump.

To be very precise, on top of being a useless conman, he is one of the biggest mass-murders in history, a genocideer on par with any of history's other monsters.

Always pointing out that Elon Musk has deliberately murdered hundreds of thousands of people mostly in the global south and it is estimated that he will have murdered 14 million people via DOGE alone in the next 5 years.

We can't look away from the images of families fleeing burning houses without calling this out as a pogrom, whipped up by influential actors who care nothing for the people of Belfast: www.irishnews.com/news/norther...

It does. But the wilful blindness of the UK's political establishment to the scale of the danger scares me even more.

It is impossible to overstate the degree to which the rule of law & our constitutional order collapsed & no one paid any legal consequences for this. Musk needs to be marched in chains to the courthouse & sent to jail for the rest of his life.

The inability of our broadcast and print media to respond critically to verifiable lies is the national emergency that continues to breed further national emergencies.

The US refusing visa entry for the Iranian soccer team’s support staff stating “we can’t allow them to abuse this system to sneak terrorists into the United States under false pretenses”, is precisely why people should boycott this country and all games played there. You just showed your real faces.

Much of today's political communication isn't bought by parties during elections. It's produced by creators who are paid and promoted by platforms. We regulate campaigns because money shapes politics. It's time to recognise that creator programmes do too. fulldisclosure.whotargets.me/p/the-other-...

Why do I have to go to the local news section to find this story? Where are the protests demanding an end to the epidemic of white Brits murdering minorities? Will there be a national debate on the ills of cocaine abuse amongst white men?

If you say "I support Palestine Action", they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on the news.

I am once again wondering whether "no, the legitimate concerns racists don't have a point, fuck off, they're racist" might have been a better way of combating the far right.

The Joint Intelligence Committee report describes ecological collapse as posing catastrophic & irreversible risks to the UK. I asked what steps the Ministry of Defence is taking to coordinate action across Govt. Parliament must be allowed to scrutinise these findings and the Govt response.

Israel's escalating military campaign in southern Lebanon has already killed thousands of people and forced more than a million from their homes. This utter disregard for civilian lives is inexcusable. We saw these patterns in Gaza - it cannot happen again in Lebanon.

As misleading headlines go, that has to be up there with some of the worst! As is the claim that "Immigration is fuelling mass unemployment among under-25s." The "shocking new study" does NOT show that at all 🙄 🧵 1/21

When do we start referring to it as Gilead?

More than 60% of Australian kids are still using social media despite the ban. Because prohibition rarely works. We know this. mollyrosefoundation.org/more-than-60...

Lots of nostalgia for Tony Blair. But all those mainly Conservative commentators praising him have yet to account for his involvement in the brazen corruption of Trump’s Peace Council scam. Utterly discrediting and discreditable

Politicians who actually cared about their constituents' wellbeing should be SCREAMING to get mitigations in place, instead of HOWLING that Net Zero is a fraud.

The latest US strikes on Iran, in the midst of a ceasefire and ongoing peace negotiations, are hugely dangerous. It is crucial that the UK do everything possible to support diplomatic efforts and pressure the US into ending this illegal war.

Got to be honest, loosening sanctions on Russia before we’ve even tried any basic demand-side measures is not filling me with pride or joy

We’re only ‘not allowed’ to go over the Brexit debates because the Brexiters were wrong on approximately 95% of them.

The neverending story of Nigel, his house and money: 💩Said he bought his Clacton house himself 💩Then said he didn't need to do constituency work because security services told him not to 💩Then claimed his partner bought the house

Apropos of nothing...

There should be a recall election for Nigel Farage. Lets see if the voters like blatant corruption.

Save yourself the trouble. Bluesky says : Starmer's terrible. Streeting's worse, a wrong 'un, a cunt. Now you can go about your day.

Nigel Farage’s partner, a former waitress not known to have any private money, bought a £1 million house for cash shortly after he secretly received £5 million from a Thailand-based cryptocurrency billionaire - the same house that he claimed, months previously, that he was about to pay for himself.

If you entered college in 2022, one of the most popular majors, the kind of boring field that was supposed to guarantee you a lifetime of stable employment, was comp sci. Four years later anyone who enrolled in that is facing a labor market apocalypse because of AI. Students do not like this!

“In my lifetime, I have witnessed a terrible decline [of nature]. In yours, you could and should witness a wonderful recovery.” – David Attenborough. Let's *do* it.

No one expected Keir Starmer to solve our pressing problems overnight. But what we did expect – and had every right to expect – was that he would lay out a clear vision and roadmap for doing so. Instead, we’ve had drift, appeasement and a startling absence of ideas, values and ambition. 🧵1/6

Kennedy's goal here is consistent with all of his other policies aimed at undermining proven health interventions: he believes the people who benefit from them are defective and he wants them culled from the population. It's comic book villain logic, specifically Viltrumite logic.
