If you don’t like what you’re seeing at Delaney Hall, pay attention to what’s happening in Congress this week.   We must stop giving ICE and for-profit companies like GEO Group a blank check to create chaos.

Reform UK wants to shut this down. If it did so, it would throw a million people out of work. Why? because it is beholden to the fossil fuel industry. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Leaving the ECHR, will weaken protections for all in society. That’s the end goal. Then they will usher in freeports, SEZ’s, data centres, zero hours contracts, no employment protections, state surveillance. All in the name of protecting us. When we already have protections…

A judge has temporarily blocked the National Science Foundation from dismantling a globally significant weather and climate research center in Colorado.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

The UK can turn away from demonizing trans people, which is also a stealth attack on a wide range of others and a wedge that enables attacks on other segments of society. We need to act quickly to stop inequality from becoming a statutory requirement. open.substack.com/pub/bonniehu...

The EU's wider rules, which kick in from February 18th, 2027, are simple: Users must be able to remove and replace batteries with basic tools, or specialized tools that are provided with the product for free, and compatible spare batteries must be sold for at least five years.

I support this call. I've seen evidence firsthand. At one of my schools, two of the worst bullies devised elaborate games for torturing animals to death. They enjoyed hurting other animals as much as they enjoyed hurting humans. It's a flashing red danger sign.🧵 www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Over 50 years later, this anti-Vietnam War PSA still rings true.

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

The UK government knew nuke troops would have deformed babies - but failed to warn them Britain spent 70 years denying there was a genetic legacy from nuclear testing. New files show government scientists predicted it, but troops were never told open.substack.com/pub/whatthey...

It’s impossible to understand American politics without also understanding the American economy (and vice versa). Politics and economics may be different disciplines, but they’re two sides of the same coin. Here is what's going on...

Privatizing prisons and detention facilities is one of the worst public policy decisions this country has ever made. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Castro is accused of lying under oath about the shooting of Venezuelan immigrant Julio Sosa-Celis.

The judge wrote in his 94-page ruling that it was "crystal clear" that the arts complex was named for the late president John F. Kennedy. He also ruled that the center could not wind down its programming and close for two years of renovations – at least for now n.pr/4uIQCD8

Just finished Any Questions, up against Richard Tice. I knew there would be plenty of BS on climate, but he spouted rubbish on *every* subject. Even claimed that the EU is not our biggest trading partner, but the US. In fact, we have 3x more trade with the EU. He believes whatever he wants to.

Other things were on my mind. Then Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket blew up during a test on the launchpad. I get questions when such things happen, so here are a few of my thoughts about it. open.substack.com/pub/bonniehu...

The Houston Chronicle has endorsed James Talarico — “The choice is obvious. Both Republicans & Democrats should prefer a servant leader over a self-serving crook”

The Brexpress is reporting on the fact that the petition to rejoin the European Union has now hit the 100,000 mark which means that it must be considered for debate in parliament... and they aren't happy! 🤣 Thank you to all of you who have supported it by signing it. #RejoinEU #europe

Keep up the pressure on these proposed data centers! #Pinks #ProudBlue

Just insane. New Jersey Gov Mikie Sherrill says DHS just denied state health inspectors full access to Delaney Hall. She's calling for it to be shut down.

We need to boycott the advertisers on CBS. Let's start with one company that can be impacted. And don’t buy anything they're selling. And we have to let CBS and other companies know that this is a two-way street. They have to feel that.

BREAKING: Our campaign raised $3 million in 24 hours after Ken Paxton became the GOP nominee.

“This one’s an easy call. The Houston Chronicle editorial board rejects Paxton’s self-serving depravity and his loyalty to Washington politics at the expense of everyday Texans. And we enthusiastically endorse his Democratic opponent, James Talarico.” Go, JT!

In democracies, gov't should derive its legitimacy from consent of the governed—from us. Instead gov't usually focuses on economic growth at the behest of elites. Sometimes gov't serves us, but too often it serves us to them on a platter. There is a better way. open.substack.com/pub/bonniehu...

The question we need to ask is what is the real reason for the sudden massive need for data centers everywhere?

It’s really frightening.

EHRC guidance to create ‘uncertainty and concern’ across charity sector New guidance on implementing equality law is “exclusionary” and will create “significant uncertainty and concern” across the sector, charity leaders and experts have warned www.civilsociety.co.uk/news/ehrc-gu...

There's an exceptionalist belief that the UK's immune to the worst political extremes. In reality, we were lucky not to get a fascist government in the 1930s. Now that the world's richest man supports our most extreme political party, we need more than luck. We need to get the money out of politics.

The UK is getting *hot weather* this holiday weekend! Britons simultaneously love it after grim winters and wilt in it. Want some tips from someone who grew up with heat? Including maybe a fun way to give yourself some relief? open.substack.com/pub/bonniehu...

DNA tests confirmed two 800-year-old “hugging skeletons” buried together in medieval Poland were unrelated women, making it the country’s first genetically confirmed same-sex double burial. The discovery challenges long-held assumptions about ancient burial relationships

The citizens of Festus, Missouri, population approximately 14,000, just voted out every single city council member who secretly approved a gigantic data center. A recall petition is also being circulated to remove the mayor and council members who were not on the ballot.

Politicians endlessly blame immigration for their own failures. So, when immigration is reduced, their ‘success’ isn’t recognised. No one’s life has particularly improved. Because no one’s life was ever going to improve by reducing immigration. Because our problems were never caused by immigration.

NEW: Months before the $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund was announced, Ed Martin predicted Capitol rioters would get millions, even if it took until 2028, two people told NBC News.

Effective tax rate paid by Jeff Bezos from 2014 to 2018: 0.98% Effective 2025 federal tax rate paid by Amazon: 1.4% Typical tax rate paid by the average American: 14.5% Just thought I should point that out.

Removing access to free live TV for those without a wi-fi connection means that many households could be left isolated. After all, five per cent of the UK population over the age of 16 does not have home internet access, with many citing affordability as a concern www.whathifi.com/streaming-en...

No matter how much experience you have living with chronic illness, nothing can prepare you for the pain and grief of losing bits of your baseline. Many of us have extremely limited function, but whatever we have left, we cherish. Losing it is painful. It’s a form of grief. It’s hard as heck.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Ken Paxton is one of the most corrupt people in politics. Texans should be sending him to prison — not the Senate.

The ballroom is the shell for what's underneath. Ballroom is the sheild for everything underneath. They are going down 6 floors. They will have an underground hospital, research facilities, meeting rooms, all sorts of military things. Why all that for a 4 year term that is 1 1/2 years in?
