The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law. This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.

'People forget what Khashoggi was investigating when he was murdered. He was writing about Kushner turning over classified info to MBS, who used it to hunt down, arrest and murder his opponents.' h/t @cocacolakid

The Green Party announces that former Labour MP, Lloyd Russell-Moyle, has defected to them, after being de-selected by Keir Starmer's party last year "My old party has left behind millions of people who want hope... In the Greens I see a party that is offering that," says Russell-Moyle

This seems like a good time to remind people that everyone in politics and media knew very well that Johnson was a bent, disastrous imbecile and that he was made Tory leader *specifically because* he was the candidate the Mail, the Sun, the Times, the Telegraph and the Express would all get behind.

Nestlé accused of ’risking health of babies for profit’ over added sugar in cereals sold in African countries

How delightfully quaint some of these old Devon village names are, their etymologies lost in the mists of time.

It was a privilege to attend RoadPeace’s service this afternoon where such brave and powerful tributes were made by families of those killed by road violence. Our campaigning is to stop yet more families requiring the expert support of the RoadPeace family.

The dam is breaking. The world's leading public health news organization is now reporting US driver violence as a public health crisis. "American roads have become more dangerous than violent crimes in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, and other major cities." t.co/BEcu5JJ457

The demeaning right wing view of Local Authorities as incompetent wasteful & inconsequential, & so ripe for endless cuts, is what has led more than anything else to the mess we’re in. They are the front line in almost everything that makes a decent society & until we realise this we’ll keep failing

This is the logical consequence of Labour’s appeasement of the far right - this is an arms race Labour should never seek to win

#ScienceSunday #Vaccines Here is another example where scientists have generated systemic immunity against human papilloma virus using nasal delivery of a cationic nanogel containing the HPV16 E7 protein as an antigen. In addition, an anti-tumor effect was seen. Game-changing! Vaccines save lives.

Let communities own rivers, woods & moors! Excellent to see @simonforstroud.bsky.social has tabled amendments 107 & 108 to the Devolution Bill to strengthen Community Right to Buy laws in this way. We need more Labour MPs to support this - email yours: www.reclaimourmoors.uk/write-to-you... 1/

It cannot be remembered enough that these were the same people who got worked up about drag brunches

The new climate reports are scary, but what’s even scarier is the hold the fossil fuel industry has on the world. Without them influencing our politics and economies, those climate reports would be a lot less scarier. That’s why the industry should be banned from all future climate negations.

"Reeves has not met a single environmental organisation or the body for professional ecologists, while Pennycook has had just four meetings with such groups, compared with 16 with leading developers." The Government's false binary that growth means sacrificing the environment in action again.

Weather is short-term; climate is long-term. A cold week doesn’t disprove a warming planet. Scientists use decades of data—temperatures, ice loss, ocean heat—to determine climate trends.

An endless supply of Grima Wyrmtongues.

'Burned alive in a Tesla' victim .. 153 Engulfed in flames immediately. No way in, or -out No help possible, as usual. Reminder: Nissan Leaf still has zero (!) people burned alive since 2009. While Tesla has 2.5 times more per car than even a '70s Ford Pinto .. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZTk...

NEWS: The UK is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

After the Leveson Inquiry, is the press now beyond control? The Leveson Inquiry was meant to usher in a new era of press regulation, but have we gone from one ineffective regulator to another? #TheHack @cliffmitchell.bsky.social

Happy 423 years of us! 🎉 📚 The Bodleian Libraries opened for the first time on 8 November 1602... This means, we're older than the refracting telescope (1608), the publication of Shakespeare's Hamlet (1623) and Sir Isaac Newton's apple (1666)! 😅

Labour were broken a long time ago. Time to replace them with a party that actually represents everyone - not just the billionaires. A party that rejects Reform - rather than copies them. Time to make hope normal again. Join.greenparty.org.uk

“on Reddit, r/MyBoyfriendisAI has more than 85,000 members championing human-A.I. connections, with many sharing giddy recollections of the day their chatbot proposed marriage.” Hard not to see this as a symptom of an extremely sick society.

This is deeply disappointing from Starmer. The UK *helped design* this 'TFFF' fund, designed to stop deforestation, and supposedly 'continues to back the fund' (in theory). But now isn't putting any money into it 🤯 How embarrassing for the UK. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

Egads, I wrote a *lot* about the 1990s X-MEN #1 as part of my "variant cover-age" posts: www.progressiveruin.com/2021/05/03/t...

I'm from Trinidad & Tobago. I can't tell you how many horrible things have been going on here since we elected a Trump friendly government in Apr via low voter turnout, as happened in the US. But today, after having us under a State of Emergency for months, they've called out all armed forces. 1/3
