So refreshing to see re-emergence of the Catholic left. Watch Father Michael Pfleger speak passionately in Chicago. I am definitely getting Berrigan Brother vibes from Vietnam era protests. As a fallen catholic, I am thankful. More, please. www.npr.org/2016/05/03/4... youtu.be/PPD32LqR3xM?...

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

BREAKING: Shabana Mahmoud has called for pro-Palestinian protests to be cancelled as a mark of respect for the victims of the Manchester attack, but the government is not cancelling its arms shipments to Israel as a mark of respect for the victims of genocide x

There's nothing illegal about ICE block. This is solely about Apple appeasing the Trump regime. With Google removing sideloading next year, these companies will have total control over what runs on your phone. www.businessinsider.com/apple-iceblo...

Yanis Varoufakis, "This Labour gov has no problem treating with contempt people who voted for it, while courting those who won't ever vote for them"

Not everyone can make the commitment that these two extraordinary women have, but we can all do something to help each other, our Earth and its creatures

Boeing paid its CEO $18 million for 4 months of work while taking away health care benefits from 3200 machinists in St. Louis who have been on strike for 2 months & were making as little as $18 an hour. I say to the CEO of Boeing: End your greed. Sign a fair union contract NOW.

I'm asking YOU: What will a doubling of health care premiums mean for your family? What it will mean if you're one of the 15 million being thrown off their health care? Please comment below or submit a story here: tinyurl.com/3rbdfdmz

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

Beautiful Jane Goodall, who will be missed. 💚

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Stunning. 💜

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

9/ Mandatory ID only works as a tool if officials can demand it in situations where the holder isn’t suspected of a crime. It requires a power to demand “your papers” from any of us, as we go about our lawful business.

🚨 BREAKING: The former leader of Reform UK in Wales, Nathan Gill, has pleaded guilty to #bribery, admitting he received corrupt payments as a Brexit Party MEP in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament to promote Russia’s interests in #Ukraine.

Such an exceptional person. #GretaThunberg 💜

Sir Keir Starmer has no plans to attend the UN COP30 summit in Brazil in November, despite having branded Rishi Sunak’s absence from the world’s top climate conference a “failure of leadership” just a few years ago.  www.ft.com/content/5f8f...

That that little montage of clips of Ed Davey saying 'Farage' repeatedly actually describes the output of #Newsnight.

Brilliant from @privateeyenews.bsky.social

Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package. Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage? Where is Ofcom? Where is Nandy?

Kirk’s ‘memorial’ getting a live coverage on The Guardian is a great example of how the right gets automatically framed as the default political movement to be ‘understood’ while the victims of that same movement never will never get the same amount of coverage

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

What's happening with Jimmy Kimmel is about politics and power.

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water. These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested. They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

In London, hate will never win.

The courts keep rejecting Donald Trump’s illegal attempt to take over the Fed so he can scapegoat away his failure to lower costs for American families. If the courts – including the Supreme Court – continue to uphold the law, Lisa Cook will keep her seat as a Fed Governor.

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson. Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word. This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

No one in Westminster wants to acknowledge how utterly performative Starmer’s plans for his AI revolution are: the entire premise of AI as a revolutionary economic force is built on foundations of sand, propped up by venture capital and sustained by collective delusion. substack.com/@europeanpow...

The only obituary of Charlie Kirk worth reading: ‘He was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct. He had children, as do many vile people.’

Many on the right claim the problem of US political violence is "the left". Then centrists say the problem is both sides: left & right. Neither are true. In the past decade in the US 76% of politically related killings have been committed by right-wingers; 4% by leftists.

Must be nice to not have oligarchs on your Supreme Court.

Israeli forces killed more than 70 people in Gaza on Wednesday and launched deadly attacks on Yemen.

we revealed in FT two years ago that Mandelson stayed at Epstein's luxury house in Manhattan while the financier was in jail for soliciting a minor he was deputy prime minister at the time always seemed weird that broadcasters didn't really pick this up at the time www.ft.com/content/0723...

Ah.

It's hard watching these clips not to feel just utter revulsion at well, er, capitalism. But the thing is, what this actually shows is the *weakness* of "capital". In authoritarian countries this is what business is always like. Totally obsequious to power, because the King can destroy you

If you know anyone who has to keep a phone secret, and can safely let them know, it is going to be really, really, important that they know to make sure those phones are switched off, or on airplane mode, before the alert goes through at 3pm.

Nigel Farage is the biggest charlatan in British political history. And here's what his constitutents in Clacton really think:

Build council homes. Treat people with dignity. The threat isn't the migrants - it's the wealth of the super rich. And the media outlets and the politicians who protect their power.

Calling Black Children this…. UNACCEPTABLE

Zohran wants universal childcare for everyone in this city and I hear people who NEED this asking 'OK but how will he pay for this?' I'm like 'bitch I haven't heard your ridiculous ass ask ONCE how the city is paying 11 BILLION A YEAR FOR COPS.' NOT ONCE. So damn demagogued.

NEW: An Oxford report warns that misleading media coverage is shaping public debate on immigration and human rights. The study finds the ECHR is frequently misreported in deportation cases, fueling misconceptions that erode trust in the legal system. 🧵 [1/8]

"Polling shows that opinion on immigration tracks tabloid coverage much more closely than actual immigration levels. People become more concerned not when the number of immigrants rises, but when the press fearmongers about it more." www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/709...

Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere

Apparently Guillermo Del Toro has ruined Frankenstein by… being relatively faithful to the source material. Oh my.

Almost every newspaper and broadcaster in Britain is now waging a racist 24/7 campaign of hatred against migrants on behalf of the ultra rich. In response to this, one small thing you can do is donate to the NGOs supporting refugees.
