How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

This is one result of the 7-year-long, £10 million Chilcot Inquiry: a comprehensive, detailed & crucial guide to avoiding another disastrous war like Iraq. You can understand why Tony Blair ignores its lessons, but every other warmonger in the UK? assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a81f1...

1/9. In 2020 Iran did try to interfere with the presidential election.

@rbreich.bsky.social I read with interest your wise, thoughtful commentary; similarly your advice for parents with short children. I would just add that in this time of apostasy where narcissism thrives corrupting the body and soul for fortune and favour have led us to this disturbed world.

Former ICE lawyer Ryan Schwank: “I received secretive orders to teach new cadets to violate the Constitution.”

Wow.

After this: youtube.com/shorts/GD3k8... How can the 47th Potus still be in office, how can any American citizen still vote Republican? Perhaps PTA’s latest movie is really a documentary?

Every American needs to watch this:

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

Peter Mandelson is telling the truth on one thing: the idea he was bought for a $4k “bursary” or a $75k gift is ridiculous The real incentive was a post-government payday - one so big he *rejected* a $3–5m-a-year offer And Epstein enabled that payday Here’s the evidence. 🧵

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

"I think all Labour members & all Labour politicians should be looking to support restrictions on Mandelsons behaviour... he's not a friend of the working class.. hopefully he'll have his responsibilities & his say curtailed" Some people have been calling our Mandelson for years

1. In 2009 I wrote this. I argued that Peter Mandelson's department “functions as a fifth column within government, working for corporations to undermine democracy and the public interest.” This thread explains what I saw, and reaches a startling conclusion.🧵 www.monbiot.com/2009/05/04/m...

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

A post-war American classroom film warning how Dictators takes hold. I didn’t rewrite it. I didn’t modernise it. Does this remind you of anyone? youtu.be/sqyndYGglhg?...

your regular reminder that authoritarian populism will make your country corrupt and poor. look at Hungary
