Please consider signing this petition to block MPs from making public statements that are false or without evidence.

Similar to the Welsh government truth bill to make it a criminal offence for politicians to knowingly lie to the public.

DOJ Slammed For Dropping Investigation Into Trump Official Who Accepted Bribe From Undercover FBI Agents

Corruption at its most blatant.

Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, was allegedly recorded by undercover FBI agents accepting a $50,000 cash bribe last year.

Trump’s Justice Department dropped the case.

So much for being "tough on crime."

*Autistically “erm, actually”ing the White House’s claims about autism*

I can’t believe we’re at a point in society where these statements have to be made because the fucking idiot pedophile is peddling bullshit and people aren’t sure if it’s bullshit or not 🙄🙄🙄

An epidemiologist and cardiologist in Canada has also countered Trumps idiotic statement about Tylenol and autism, fyi, Autism was diagnosed long before Tylenol was created. #Canada

Do not listen to people who have NO medical background!!

Remember during COVID pandemic he suggested injecting bleach and then looked at solar eclipse without protective eyewear? I’ll take NO medical advice from him or his Sec of HHS.

Just a reminder, tylonol does not cause autism. Vaccines do not cause autism. The people who push these rumors have no business even sniffing in the direction of science and research

A system built on white supremacy will support a white supremasist. It's incredibly disheartening but absolutely not surprising that the #HouseOfCommons stood in honour of Charlie KKKirk

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

I stand with PBS.

I stand with NPR.

I stand with Stephen Colbert.

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.

I stand with the First Amendment.

PERIOD.*

It’s so concerningly insane that the news cycle these days is regularly “Woke transgenderism and empathy are making it difficult for emotionally-unintelligent men to commit hate crimes without consequence, and this is bad.”

Canada is ramping up to do the exact same thing

Anyway, last thing I’ll say, then back to my own stuff.

I’m a humanitarian and humanist first, but protect your neighbors. Protect your communities. Babbling on socials does almost nothing in this moment. We’re all just spinning philosophies so we can participate. Go to those who uplift you.

Hello, I'm Giopota, I'm a gay Italian and look! I draw body diverse men in cozy environments! You're welcome.

Reposting this, because no law will ever erase me or the kids who feel the way I did when I was younger.

We need to protect, foster, and accommodate for trans/gender-nonconforming youth, not alienate or villainize them.

🤷🏻‍♂️ yesterdays mood, today’s mood, tomorrow mood, every day after that’s mood.

It's always been about a war on the poor. You keep people poor, you keep people desperate, you keep people joining the military 'as a way out,' you keep feeding the war machine, which feeds the best business a company- sorry a country can get involved in

Youtube needs a button that says "I was originally interested in this product but you've shown me this obnoxious ad so many times I hate it with every fiber of my being and I now go out of my way to avoid the product even if it would genuinely make my life better"

How beavers could help fight wildfires | CBC News New research out of the western U.S. suggests dams and ponds built by beavers can slow floods, store water and even create green firebreaks in wildfire-prone landscapes.

Beavers are admittedly chaotic and work their ecosystem magic in sometimes mysterious ways.

But we’re trying our best to understand them & work together to fight wildfires!

Check out this article covering Luwen’s recent paper and some of my previous fire + beavs work!
