And there it is! Over 100,000 signatures. 💥

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

Alarming new test results on breakfast cereals found glyphosate residue (the active ingredient in Roundup weed killer linked to cancer) in 90% of the American breakfast cereals they tested - EVEN ORGANIC.

I recently saw a dietitian recommend Taco Bell’s Cantina Chicken Bowl as a healthy option. You can’t add some veggies to an ultraprocessed product and call it good for you. This is the type of rhetoric that misled me when I was younger.

It’s not just the INGREDIENTS added to fast food that you should watch out for…Phthalates are common plasticizers. These chemicals are showing up in our bodies, where they can harm our health over time: reduced hormones, decreased fertility, insulin resistance, and more.

"Zack Polanski said it was 'rank hypocrisy' for Nigel Farage to call for Angela Rayner's resignation and not to do so himself." inews.co.uk/news/green-p...

Powell speech was in Birmingham. Now the Reform Party con Terence is there. Coincidence!!

I look forward to Nadine Dorries squaring her frequent & frenzied attempts to get me fired for telling the truth about her absurdity & awfulness with her new party’s commitment to ‘free speech’.

The Mail is going to go full Farage. The Telegraph already has, to the absolute horror of the proper journalists still on the paper. Tony Gallagher at The Times is, as ever, waiting for Rupert Murdoch’s instructions. Their only alternative is to own the stupidity of backing Johnson, Brexit & Truss.

If I had time - or a BBC-sized team - I'd assemble all the Daily Mail front pages hysterically celebrating the Tories doing all the things that left the country in the mess that the paper is now moaning about & somehow trying to blame on, *checks notes*, Keir Starmer. They even worshipped Liz Truss!

James, the Brexiters and MAGA's accusing UK of suppressing "free speech" are just using another clear Nazi tactic: accuse your opposition of exactly the offences your own party is committing It's devilishly effective!!

Oh.

Are you young, highly educated and driven, and want to contribute to our stagnant economy with its aging population and low productivity? Well out you go

Oh, good. Starmer woke up and decided to be a bit more racist. We were due...

Bans on feeding pigeons have been enacted without much public pushback around the world. But in Mumbai, India, new bans have led to clashes with the police and threats of hunger strikes by members of the Jain religious community, which believes in nonviolence against all creatures.

Chris, check your facts.

An epic montage of the glazing of Trump from his Cabinet officials today. bsky.app/profile/meid...

"If it were true that Ukraine belongs to Russia in the 2020s because a Russian dictator knows a legend about a Viking in the 860s... millions of people who actually live there would have no voice in their own identity: no choice but to accept the executions, the torture, the kidnapping of children."

“How much of normal healthy aging is due to becoming sedentary? … When we compared seniors to healthy young individuals, we noticed that not only did the heart shrink, but it stiffened. But when we looked at elite masters athletes, their hearts were indistinguishable from healthy 30 year-olds.”

🔴‘Donald Trump’s Los Angeles Military Deployment Is an Assault on American Democracy’ It’s time to shake off our ‘Trump denial syndrome’ and wake up to the clear and present danger posed by the President, argues @alexhh.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/06/10/d...

Thanks for your reply, I thought it was behind a D Mail pay wall! Seen your answer now... v comprehensive answer to surprisingly complex question! V interesting. Thx.

Interesting question from a reader asking, in a world where most pensioners pay tax in retirement, why we give tax relief up front and tax retirement, rather than just let people save into a pension out of after-tax income and leave it at that! www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/pensio...

What about the benefits TO BRITS of Freedom of Movement to live in EUROPE??🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺

Not once have we had a government which is willing to openly state the benefits of immigration to our society and our economy, the way that diversity has made us a wealthier and culturally richer country. Not once. And yet we're constantly told that we've been living in an experiment of no borders.

New blog from @theifs.bsky.social suggesting that women who worked longer (because of higher state pension age) generally benefited from lower levels of cognitive decline. Those who did more physical jobs also benefited in terms of physical health, but the opposite was true for more sedentary jobs:

DWP statistics published today contain the rather shocking revelation that they are underpaying six in one hundred state pension claims, and this is up on last year. Given that they've spent the last four years fixing errors on over 100,000 widows, married women and over 80s, that's quite something!

If the rumour is to be believed that the govt. will only take Winter Fuel Payments away from higher earners, then this will raise so little it will actually be outweighed by the extra Pension Credit costs they have already incurred, according to my calculations! on.ft.com/45jnZCP

Trump’s support is sliding – except where Fox News is strongest. A powerful new analysis shows just how tightly his vote maps to viewers of one channel. Read why this matters ⤵️

"And what of their beloved Brexit? So far, annually, it has delivered a 5% plunge in GDP (CER), a £27 billion loss of exports (LSE) and a 15% reduction in trade (OBR)."

Safe for all? How austerity wrecked the probation service Austerity broke it: the probation service in England and Wales is now rated “inadequate” after years of cuts, chaos and failed privatisation.

In 1963, Bernard Cohen wrote the press may not tell people what to think, but it does tell them what to think *about*. Similarly, in 1960s protests and media made civil rights salient. All to say, politicians may struggle to shape mass opinion, but they can influence which issues are salient.

This Day in Labor History: May 26, 1924. The doors of the United States closed to most immigrants as President Calvin Coolidge signed the Immigration Act of 1924. Let's talk about this horrible law and its support from organized labor and we enter into another age of extreme anti-immigration!

Bluesky discourse reminds of a cabbie in Atlanta. We were talking about great migration of African Americans out of and back to South. He said, “I’m a beer.” I struggled to understand. He repeated, ”I’m a beer,” paused, then said “I’m a be-‘er when you leave, and I’ll be-‘er when you come back.”

“Eighty years ago, deep inside a Warsaw ghetto cemetery, Israel Milejkowski gathered fellow physicians with whom he co-authored a clandestine ‘hunger disease’ study.”

“Imprisonment in the ghetto was intended to be a slow-motion death sentence for hundreds of thousands of Jews. The starvation study physicians understood this German strategy before beginning their research.”

Is America an oligarchy? Bernie and AOC say yes, touring the country to “Fight Oligarchy.” Other Democratic leaders aren’t so sure. With the debate heating up, I wanted to share a few insights from our recent paper on who’s funding American politics. 🧵 cup.org/4cfm0Az

Who makes the decisions in this office? Not 47 himself. Who is in the CABAL47

New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years. We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power.  If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.

Bullies enjoy the game!?
