"First world" country.

I think it's a lot easier to think of #nuclear as "clean energy" if you are willing to ignore the people who mined the fuel, the communities they live in, and what happens after the mines close. Turns out there are a lot of Native Americans in those two categories.

It is madness that unelected Glasman and McSweeney can have any influence over the PM, ministers and policy (same with Cummings, Timothy etc etc) and especially so when linked to the vile and highly dangerous Bannon.

People arriving here by small boat are desperate, often traumatised. Latest figures are 68% of boat arrivals granted asylum (see link) The idea of the govt stripping people of their valuables & then hawking it off literally makes me sick to my stomach migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/br...

This is a new low from a govt plumbing the depths of performative cruelty in hopes that the public won’t notice they have no answers to the real issues facing this country A sensible, humane govt would focus on safe routes to prevent people making dangerous small boat crossings

War Profiteering: Who Benefits Most How the American military-industrial complex turned the Gaza conflict into an extremely profitable project The war in the Gaza sector has become one of the most lucrative conflicts for the American defense industry. 1/10

Remember, they are waiting for an excuse to declare martial law. They have already considered & discussed the idea of using the entire military and arsenal against us. Believe it. When narcissists are backed into a corner, they are extremely dangerous. And we’ve got a whole bunch of them activated.

'National Security Threat'? 95-Year-Old Human Rights Scholar Richard Falk Interrogated for Hours by Canada | "Clearly, the international repression of the Palestinian cause knows no bounds."​

Very cool post, thanks for finding our initial paper on this issue interesting. Turns out we had another one just out, where we extend the idea of critical ignoring and relate it to the detrimental consequences of information overload: doi.org/10.1016/j.co... 1/n

As winter approaches, UNRWA has enough supplies to feed Gaza's entire population for three months, but the Israeli government continues to obstruct delivery. The Guardian reports

The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right. There is a political alternative that won’t ever scapegoat those fleeing war, persecution and torture join.greenparty.org.uk

Labour’s latest attack on asylum seekers is cruel & counterproductive. How does it help community cohesion to hold threat of deportation over vulnerable people? We don’t need an arms race with the hard right over asylum, we need safe routes & European cooperation #bbclaurak

Falk, who has investigated Israeli abuses, says questioning reflects push to silence truth of Israel's war on Gaza.

Not only is seeking asylum not illegal - and migration itself isn’t either - but denying asylum, however, can be. Maybe Bluesky could help us with bigger fonts idk

If you're cheering Trump on then you have no right to call yourself a patriot. You absolute moron.

This is the politics of blackmail. The alternative is not a Reform government. The alternative is maintaining our international commitments to being a compassionate nation

“A Native American girl was nearly deported from her own country because ICE saw brown skin and assumed ‘illegal.’ This isn’t security — it’s racial profiling and state intimidation. These are Gestapo-style tactics happening in America right now.” azmirror.com/2025/11/12/a...

NEW — Rashida Tlaib and 20 other members of Congress have introduced a resolution to officially recognize Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people. It notes that between 10/23 and 11/25, the US sent $21,700,000,000 in military aid to Israel and authorized $30,000,000,000+ in new weapons deals.

Zack managing to be remarkably diplomatic! Better than I could do, anyway.

BREAKING 🚨: COP30 is flooded with 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists. One in every 25 people inside the climate talks is working for the industry that caused this crisis. They outnumber almost every country, including those losing lives to storms, drought and heat.

The UN Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) warns that 90% of Gaza’s population is suffering from malnutrition due to Israel’s ongoing blockade. Essential humanitarian aid remains barred from entering the territory.

We often hear 'the #pandemic' in the past tense, but #covid infections are causing massive harm to health and economies. Reduce risk through #ventilation, #filtration and wearing an ffp2 or #ffp3 respirator mask. These actions reduce the likelihood of all airborne infections.

So there’s one aspect of the BBC story that has received zero attention: Robbie Gibb’s potential financial conflict of interests. According to @arusbridger.bsky.social, he was just the bagman for the purchase of the Jewish Chronicle. 1/ www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

Today I voted for protecting nature. The Lords added sensible, evidence-based amendments to the Planning & Infrastructure Bill to strengthen nature protection. But the govt rejected them. Ministers need to listen - to experts, to trusted organisations, and to the public.

Local areas can lead the way on protecting nature, making lives better and securing a safe future for all of us - but they need government to stop starving them of funds. @carladenyer.bsky.social led the way with her Climate Emergency declaration. Now time for the Government to step up.

Starmer and the entire cabinet must be tried for active complicity in war crimes and genocide.
