Wow.

The Greens are not just SECOND in this poll.

They're now 3 points ahead of Labour - who are fourth.

Time for Labour to stand down to stop splitting the anti-Reform vote!

Why the anger with Billie Eilish? Because it’s against the rules to say what we all know about billionaires | Zoe Williams The singer is giving away millions – but the parameters for criticising the super-rich are very narrow, and hardly anyone qualifies, says Guardian columnist Zoe Williams

I chatted with Scott @podcastgreenred.bsky.social about @teslatakedown.com. Have a listen! bit.ly/41htNce

It’s terrifying to be in Elon Musk’s crosshairs. I’ve spent the last 48 hours dealing with the aftermath of these tweets. Everything he has said about me and Troublemakers is an outright lie.

The right to protest is at the heart of American democracy. Join a #TeslaTakedown protest. ✊❤️

Elon Musk targeted me over Tesla protests. That proves our movement is working I’ve always believed the people are powerful. Now we know the world’s richest man does too

It took about 24 hours for the post-Elon-tweet fear to move through my body and for me to get back into fight mode. Also, having a badass lawyer helps. I will not be silent in the face of personal attacks and attacks on the #TeslaTakedown movement.

Donald Trump is turning America into a mafia state | Jonathan Freedland The pattern is inescapable – with just one caveat: organised crime bosses occasionally display more honour, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

In 10th century Japan mirrors were thought to have the power for the nation to see itself. @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social article does just that, I commend it to every US citizen. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

BREAKING: HUNDREDS of New Yorkers have swarmed and shut down the Tesla dealer in Manhattan. Six have been arrested after occupying the showroom. Protests are erupting across America to reject Musk's billionaire regime. This is how we beat fascism.

Mass direct action.

1. What explains the paralysis that seems to have overcome us, as we watch the most powerful nation of Earth spiralling towards fascist dictatorship? Well, a large part of it, I feel, is the surreal, astonishing uselessness of the Democratic Party. 🧵

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

This is what the surface of a comet looks like.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

This made my day.

In all seriousness, if there is not resistance, and fear takes over, Trump will actually become the equivalent of a king.
