NEW: Extraordinary scenes in Amsterdam this afternoon (Sunday, Oct 5). An estimated 250,000 bring the city to a standstill; people all wearing red to show solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸 (🎥 Ahmed Zantac)

Life expectancy was 60. And it's "LEICESTER" you gormless idiot.

Chris Murphy’s Dark and Unnerving New Warning about Trump The Democratic senator has taken the lead in drawing attention to Trump’s authoritarianism. In an interview, he offers a stark new warning that should galvanize his fellow Democrats before it’s too late.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

The Wall Street Journal WRECKED him!

Today and everyday, we can honor Dr. Goodall's memory by following her outspoken urging of us to eat way more plants than animals, in honor of other animals' lives and of our Earth. #WorldAnimalDay #JaneGoodall #vegan #vegetarian #reducetarian

You don't understand, it was necessary to beat up and humiliate the tiny 22-year-old autistic girl because she was trying to feed hungry babies

They are reporting the police in this case - they have deemed it a hate crime not terrorism (the BBC could, of course, raise the point)

Murder at a synagogue - terrorism. Attempted murder at a mosque - not terrorism. The British press, and all British political parties…. 🙄

We can all agree that the attack on the Synagogue in Manchester was terrorism So why is setting a Mosque alight just 'arson' and a 'hate crime' and also not terrorism?

These are just our first steps. Let's keep going. Join.greenparty.org.uk

"The world has never listened to Palestinian voices or taken seriously the existential threat Israel poses to Palestinian life, and this has not materially changed despite the increase in performative angst." A must read essay www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

On reports the Tories will back leaving the ECHR, Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey: “Kemi Badenoch has chosen to back Nigel Farage and join Vladimir Putin by leaving the European Convention on Human Rights – a proud British creation championed by Churchill that protects everyone's rights and freedoms."

“There’s a baby!” Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

The noisy flag shaggers that abused our country’s symbols and tried to intimidate our town have been put in their place. Most flags are gone and decency has been restored. I hope that we show ReformUK the door in the same way.

A federal judge in Oregon has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from deploying the National Guard in Portland.

If you drive a 2025/2026 Tesla or still use X, there really isn't an excuse. You really are just an asshole that looks the other way.

This has been their plan all along.

It always struck me that *government* should be about more freedom for people, not less.

We really need the @greenparty.org.uk to do well. The news today is awful more crackdown on protest. More restrictions on immigration that will do even more social and economic damage to our country. Higher energy bills. If it wasn't for the Green Party, I'd be lost in despair.

Bolder. Effective.And surging! Come on @greenparty.org.uk team. Let's go! Join.greenparty.org.uk

Labour would rather break promises than look over The Channel for a solution. Says it all really. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

There is no left wing terrorism organization or machine in America. They just want to kill Americans.

The greatest crime of this Labour government (and you can say the same of most of European social democracy) is that it removes any rational hope of achieving a just society by democratic means. That conclusion leads either to cynicism and apathy or to ultimately self-defeating violence.

Yeah, this is what I don't get. All the seats the Greens are fighting for will be against Labour - they're free to fight for them. But how does that stop Reform?

Greens Organise's mission closely aligns with Polanski. Members were pretty jubilant last night. GO chair: "We want to turbocharge the Green Party and have it recognised its potential as a true mass party of the left."

Zack Polanski turned up as a surprise speaker at the packed Greens Organise party last night - the year-old left wing internal group, many of whose members helped propel him to victory. He said: "You can see that fascism is on the creep in this country. The Green Party is the antidote to that."

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
