behold the bold and brave washington post opinion section (under new management), lol

Leaving the ECHR wouldn’t be the end of it. When that would fail, then they’d attack the judiciary for falling back on common law. It’s bog standard autocratisation. Nothing more.

9-month-old Mohamat died of malaria in Cameroon. Before U.S. aid cuts, he likely would have survived. Malaria deaths are rising after years of progress. Abrupt and irresponsible budget cuts can have deadly consequences.

Palestine motion passed at Green Party Conference. Congratulations to everyone who helped get this done. leftfootforward.org/2025/10/gree...

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian. Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference. Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say? Let's keep growing: join.greenparty.org.uk

It wasn't asylum seekers who increased anyone's rent or energy bills, the rich did that.

Police waste £3m arresting climate protesters while the real criminals continue to overheat the planet. By Graham Wroe In August 2024, Reclaim the Power was organising a climate protest camp near Drax Power Station, the UK’s single largest carbon emitter. But it never happened as police arrested…

Clarence Thomas announced that he doesn't care about precedent and is making it up as he goes along. He didn't say it *like that* of course, because then people would have noticed. But I noticed, through the jargon, and explain it here in @thenation. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

‘More than half of Reform’s donations in 2024 came from people with homes in low-tax jurisdictions or with offshore business interests; 40 per cent came from climate sceptics or investors in fossil fuels.’ @petergeoghegan.bsky.social at the Reform UK conference: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

🔴The Attack Lines That Could Hurt Nigel Farage’s Reform UK Hardest A new mega poll of voters reveals where Reform UK are most vulnerable to political attacks from their opponents bylinetimes.com/2025/09/29/t...

Farage’s Reform is part of a “global network of rightwing billionaires” who want to undermine net zero for their “vested interests”, says Ed Miliband - as he revives pledges for a Green New Deal & 400,000 new jobs in clean energy by 2030 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

New from me: There's a lot of misinformation around the reasons I was fired from WaPo. Here's the official termination letter I got sent by Washington Post. Read and judge for yourself. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

Massive disinformation is flooding Poland’s infosphere around the drone incursion, its effects, causes, and alleged links. A full-scale propaganda campaign, unprecedented in a NATO/EU member state.

The far right are pointing attention to stopping the boats, whilst rising sea levels and extreme weather are decimating lives, homes and livelihoods. Hostile politicians and commentators have whipped up hatred, targeting refugees and migrants.

And we wonder why the NHS can't cope... this extreme level of stupidity and what is effectively 'out of sight, out of mind' corruption in state practices is unbelievable. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Why on earth do the Tories want to keep people locked into high energy bills? And, come to that, why is the BBC citing Reform but saying nothing about climate science or renewable alternatives? Complete madness - except for the fossil fuel industry of course

Summer 2025 is set to be the warmest on record for the UK, the Met Office has just announced. @londoncentric.media reports how heatwaves linked to #ClimateChange are increasing the risk of wildfires in London's parched parks, with Hyde Park, Brockwell Park & Hamstead Heath among the most vulnerable🔥

Nigel Farage’s #ReformUK attacks climate science & pushes for increasing extraction of fossil fuels, expanding North Sea #OilAndGas & permitting #fracking.

The NUJ has renewed calls for global action to end the Israeli government’s war on journalism and truth after at least 20 people, including five journalists, were killed in strikes on Nasser hospital on Monday. www.nuj.org.uk/resource/pal...

Laura Davison, NUJ general secretary, said: “This must become a catalyst for a renewed global campaign to end the senseless bloodshed in Gaza through an immediate ceasefire and the opening up of the region to international journalists and media organisations."

We are heartbroken by the death of Mariam Abu Dagga, a freelance photographer who frequently worked with Doctors Without Borders in #Gaza. Mariam was one of at least 20 people killed during Israel’s horrendous attacks on the Nasser medical complex on August 25, 2025.

Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war. She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza. tinyurl.com/3cn5c9vb

Rest in peace, Khaled Mohammad Al-Madhoun. Thank you for risking your life to share the truth on the ground in Gaza. Journalists do not deserve to be targeted for showing the world the war crimes Israel is committing. #SaveGaza

This is a policy vendetta for the after times, but in retrospect, I think it was disastrous to leave the indexing and retrieval of information to a for profit company. We'll need to find a way to create an independent and non-commercial version of OG Google or accept life in the Information Dark Age

Reality of #ClimateCrisis for a grandma in Malawi - Gladys Khumbidzi first moved due to repeated floods. Then the water supply began drying up at her new home so she moved again. Now she is struggling to feed herself & her family as flooding one yr & drought the next means she cant grow enough food

#ClimateChange is increasing intensity & frequency of #ExtremeWeather. In Malawi, 950k people have been displaced by cyclones since 2019. And w/o a major drop in burning fossil fuels, 86m people in sub-Saharan Africa could be displaced by climate breakdown by 2050 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
