Yep.

"This isn’t just bad policy. It’s a generational setback."

RFK Jr = "a serious risk to national & global health security."

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:

“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

Israel just killed him.

Hundreds arrested in 'week-long crackdown' on asylum seekers working for delivery companies The Home Office described the operation as a "nationwide intensification week" targeting illegal working hotspots, with a focus on the gig economy and people working as food delivery riders.

2 in 5 arrested over last summer’s riots had been reported for domestic abuse Police data indicates overlaps between public violent disorder and domestic violence and abuse

The far right terrorising asylum seekers in hotels love to spread the lie they’re worried about the risk of sexual assault. But here’s the truth: Two in five men arrested for last summer’s riots had been reported for domestic abuse. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Imagine a world where you have to airdrop aid and rescue starving children from a situation an allied nation has created, whilst simultaneously supplying them arms and twisting yourself in political knots about whether or not to condemn them for it.

You don't actually have to imagine it, kids.

Landmark Ruling Gives Paris Climate Agreement Teeth A rare unanimous ruling from the International Court of Justice creates a pathway to hold all governments, even the climate-denying ones, legally liable for climate risk.

The ruling from the International Court of Justice last week is genuinely a big fucking deal. It makes it a legal obligation for countries to address climate change. Yes, even the ones not signed on to Paris. Yes, even the U.S. More from me & @rishpardikar.bsky.social drilled.media/news/ijc-1

Remember what Scotland thinks of Trump. Janey Godley got into some “good trouble” back in the day with a sign that said it all.

The GLP team with placards at Trans Pride London

We’re at London Trans Pride!

Today and every day we stand with trans people 🏳️‍⚧️

Top: Sky News, "On the course there is not a single protestor in sight.. 5,000 officers from across the UK drafted in for this"

Bottom: Thousands of protestors in Edinburgh protesting Donald Trump, speaker on stage, "The Scottish government has bended the knee and kissed the ring"

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The Law That Will Allow the UK Government to Ban Palestine Action The ban will make it illegal to support the civil disobedience group, with penalties of up to 10 years in prison

Palestine Action expected to be banned after vandalism of planes at RAF base Home secretary plans to proscribe group that broke into Brize Norton, effectively branding it a terrorist organisation

Deploying counter-terror measures against protesters is usually the preserve of authoritarian regimes.

This debases the very definition of terrorism and purpose of proscription, which exist to keep us safe.

The government must not go down this repressive road.

Keep going. I found day 30 to be unnecessarily difficult.

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission.

They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again.

And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

‘I normalised every violence against my mum’ – David Challen It's quite literally ‘unthinkable’ – a young son finds out his mother has killed his father in the most brutal way and that she is getting ready to take her own life.

All of this thread from Zoe. And most of the replies too.

So I'm really happy to see people talking about the Greens, and I think we need (desperately) to show Labour & the press & the country that there is a real alternative on the left.

If you are in despair at Labour, think what you can do to make real left alternatives more of a credible threat.

Why are interviewers not raising this with the Home Secretary this morning?

‘Further & Faster’
Cutting services for patients

This is not what people voted for when they voted for Labour

But somehow Labour is Tory 2.0

Austerity in the NHS / Welfare leads to a poorer economy as more people unable to work

@rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social

Labour might wonder why, less than a year into a new government promising “change”, people are giving up on it in droves. So let me help it out with a few clues.
1. Cutting disability benefits
2. Freezing Local Housing Allowance.
3. Maintaining the cruel, Malthusian two-child benefit cap ....

'Don't you dare try to invest in our area or create jobs'.

Just imagine this lot in charge of the country

The Green Party don’t get as much media coverage as Reform because the continuation of civilised human life on the planet isn’t as interesting as cunts.

Motion passed by doctors at the British Medical Association refers to the recent Supreme Court ruling as ‘scientifically illiterate’: ‘sex and gender are complex and multifaceted aspects of the human condition and attempting to impose a rigid binary has no basis in science or medicine’.
