The Government’s Schools Bill risks constructing a two-tier system of different standards for different children, seemingly to satisfy religious leaders. All children are entitled to an education, not the institutionalisation of low expectations. www.secularism.org.uk/news/2026/04...

Brazil has created the South Atlantic’s largest marine protected area, spanning about one million hectares. Supported by Conservation International, the reserve—roughly the size of Jamaica—aims to safeguard biodiversity, fisheries, and critical ocean ecosystems.

It's worth repeating that we are living through the worst "President", Congress and SCOTUS in the history of the United States all at once. Clearly, the Republicans are the problem.

Cardinal Cupich: "We're dehumanizing the victims of war by turning the suffering of people & killing of children & our own soldiers into entertainment. To splice together movie cuts w/ actual bombings & targeting of people for purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are."

Former TIME editor Richard Stengel: “He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last 5 decades, but he’s doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.”

"Hanan Balkhy, WHO Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean, said the deterioration in Gaza is no longer limited to the impact of attacks but now includes the systematic obstruction of access to healthcare, leaving civilians increasingly vulnerable."

🇺🇦🇪🇺 Zelensky: We must ensure that our capabilities are such that Europeans can produce here, in Europe. Our European industry, our technological base, our military and political capabilities must be sufficient to ensure that Europe has reliable protection of life under all conditions.

. The Republican Party today will go down in history as the biggest cowards that refused to remove an unhinged demented tyrant from office. The internet is forever and the history books are already being made. .

Now is a very good time to get your grocery shopping in order. We’ve reached the middle of April and that’s the point economists warned about. At this time prices are set to skyrocket due to the Strait of Hormuz now being inaccessible for a month. The last ships are approaching refineries. /

Astronaut Victor Glover said it plainly. We don’t know each other because we don’t try. We stay divided because it’s easier not to reach out. That’s it. Be neighbors. Love people. Do better. #SheShed

#News Up next — Italy’s PM Meloni criticizes Trump’s remarks about the Pope as unacceptable and voices support for the pontiff, while also announcing a suspension of military and defense cooperation with Israel.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

He is exactly who he’s always been and its rooted in a deep psychological pathology that is Uncureable. Perhaps managed a bit with meds but what we see is exactly what he is, a very deeply and mentally unwell person.

Talking about Donald Trump having dementia just gives a sympathetic excuse for inexcusable preexisting conditions. Donald has *always* been a mean, self-centered, incoherent fool who says stupid and ignorant things.

The world watched as Israel razed Gaza to the ground. Now, the world is watching as Israel razes Lebanon to the ground. War crimes beget war crimes — and the failure to bring Israel to justice for genocide has emboldened it to destroy human life with total impunity.

Trump ally, Prime Minister of Italy Giorgia Meloni: “In consideration of the current situation, the government has decided to suspend the automatic renewal of the defense agreement with Israel.” 🍿

For real! 🥴 bsky.app/profile/midd...

JD Vance, who is using a new book about his religion to promote his political ambitions, says religion should stay out of politics. You first.

Hale: From all the data I see, Pope Leo is the most popular American, and he’s actually the most popular figure globally. He has 69% support among Republicans, 75% support among Democrats. He’s well beloved among all political stripes. And so I think it’s a fight Trump needs to get out of.

Anyone, anything to do with RW authoritarian regimes (Farage, Orban or Trump) and inevitably, it will always be about the money. open.substack.com/pub/writesbr...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk As Orbán bites the dust, it’s worth remembering this old Farage confession in the clear. He always seems to be compelled to thank foreign entities for their help in damaging our national interests - it has echoes of a serial killer taunting the police.👇

Military conflict in the Strait of Hormuz continues harming marine life despite a ceasefire: noise, explosions, mines, and pollution disrupt feeding, communication, and habitats, with long-lasting ecosystem damage in the region’s slow-recovering waters
