Navalny is one of very many who died at the hands of Putin. And that bastard virtually signs his name on the murders. Navalny was a hero. I'm glad to know he has a memorial in the place it means the most.

When we take back over, can we convert the golden ballroom into a Library of the People? We have a Library of Congress, but we need one for the citizens. What better place than attached to the People’s House.

I can’t unsee it, so I thought I'd share 😂

Manufacturing jobs under Trump.

Can confirm!

ME/CFS is a devastating condition that has long been denied, dismissed, psychologised and underdiagnosed. Research is at last starting to catch up with it, with glimmers of hope for those who have been left untreated for so long. There's a huge BUT coming ...🧵 www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Another benefit of Brexit ... the UK has returned to its traditional role as the dirty man of Europe. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Astonishing advance by the Greens, astonishing implosion of Labour. When will Starmer's government get the message that it is destroying its base with deeply unpopular, rightwing policies? By chasing Reform, it legitimises the far right while delegitimising itself.

Today's column is about the government's huge, unprecedented assault on nature ... and about the eerie, astonishing silence of the big nature groups. The RSPB, National Trust, Wildlife Trusts have 7.5m members between them. A vast force, completely unmobilised. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“When you have a disability people can’t see, you don’t get the same level of empathy. It feels like the world has moved on.” It’s shameful how society is gaslighting people who are experiencing chronic illness and ignoring an ongoing public health crisis.

We're facing a political emergency: a high likelihood of an shamelessly authoritarian government in 2029. So we urgently need this basic safeguard: a codified constitution. This week's column explains what we're missing and why it's so important. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

They mad at us for participating in the most American thing that one can do! Peaceful protesting! Like the meme says, we just venting, its not storming the Capitol. No Kings

Mamdani hasn’t been elected yet and he’s already driving criminals out of New York.

Cool cool cool Thx, Nunsense.

Olen vakaasti sitä mieltä, että ihmisen, jonka arvomaailma asettaa jatkuvasti rahan elämän edelle, ei pitäisi toimia lainsäätäjänä saati ministerinä.

I adore this judge! "Describing neighborhood moms as professional agitators shows just how out of touch these agents are and how incredible their views are," Ellis said. "Overall this calls into question everything the defendants say they’re doing and their characterization of events."

Terrific review of CRICK by Georgina Ferry in this week's @nature.com (the print title of the review is less clickbaity):

UK publication day for this wrist-spraining beauty! Appropriately, I’m travelling to Cambridge, where I’m doing a book launch talk at the LMB tomorrow afternoon.

If I see one more stupid Rosalind Franklin take I'm going to lose my mind. Thank god for @matthewcobb.bsky.social and @nccomfort.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

@politico.eu: “German general warns NATO must brace for potential Russian attack” Lt. Gen. Alexander Sollfrank, “who oversees all of Germany’s military operations and crisis deployments”: > “Russia is already today capable of carrying out a regionally limited attack on NATO territory.” 1/2

Maria Popova, McGill University: Russian manipulation of the facts endures because when #JeffreySachs and others tirelessly promote it, opponents politely disagree and the conversation is presented as a debate of equally valid viewpoints. www.policymagazine.ca/when-confron...

Just a gentle reminder that Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil” is a Christmas movie.

So much tear gas that people who aren't even protesting are getting sick when they leave their homes to run errands: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Australian scientist who alerted world that COVID is airborne wins top science prize When the WHO falsely claimed in March 2020 that COVID wasn’t airborne, Professor Lidia Morawska took action—organising 239 scientists worldwide to warn about SARS-CoV-2 airborne spread and urge global recognition.

The double helix! What a scientific revolution he helped spark. RIP.

A 450-foot Prometheus. A 500-foot George Washington. Tech investors are racing to build colossal monuments celebrating Western power.

🚨BREAKING: New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) Friday asked a federal judge to dismiss the felony charges against her, arguing that President Donald Trump and his political appointees at the Department of Justice (DOJ) are selectively and vindictively prosecuting her.
