Racism rots your brain I guess

This rancid trash understands the significance of Labour's anti-refugee policies.

"...10yrs ago, the app estimated that the global temp was already 0.98°C above pre-industrial ave. & would breach the 1.5°C threshold in 2045. Today, the same tool estimates that we have reached a global ave. of 1.25°C & will be at 1.5°C over pre-industrial levels in May 2029"

A reminder that if a neighbourhood isn't white enough in Denmark the govt forcibly relocates the residents.

Pretty disconcerting how, ever since she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, this one appears to have devoted her entire time to making pretty demonic statements to rooms full of very rich and predatory Americans

Progress is when workers lose their jobs so capitalists make more profit.

not being funny but what does it say when all these rich white paedophiles were openly emailing and discussing their abuse while minorities were getting their doors knocked in for one innocuous message that tripped an alarm somewhere

Idk Oxford already feels very imbalanced. All the public amenities inc railway station are in the west and yet most of the housing is in the east far away from all of that.

If you establish a new centre or something that's one thing. Continuing to bolt houses onto East Oxford seems short sighted.

me being dumb

Centrists love nothing more than to kick the shit out of the left for being stupid unreasonable children, then when all their grown up plans blow up in their stupid faces saying "aren't I deserving of praise for realising I was wrong too late for it to matter." Despicable.

I think a scatter plot would have been useful here. But eyeballing it the picture ain't good.

Big part of the problem is lack of council housing. Densifying the inner parts of the city with mid rise council owned flats would be my preference.

⚡️ Bellingcat investigator Christo Grozev says that #Russia has resources left for the war until Sunday, after which they will collapse. Also next week, Russia is facing sanctions, the scale of which “we have not seen before”, and they will also affect Putin 6:01 pm · 4 Mar 2022

Update from the "oops all TERFs" Green Parliamentary Party

E.g bsky.app/profile/bret...

Not to defend the press, but the "waning enthusiasm" headline is linked to the COP30 chef's comments, not the IEA report, right?

Tldr: nothing has actually drastically changed, the IEA are giving more credence to the idea govts will abandon climate action.

I personally don't think this is an incredible idea.

Also feels in like the "what we need to do" baseline has been sidelined in favour of defending what we are doing.

BREAKING: European Sleeper will start a Paris-Berlin sleeper train from 26 March 2026, after Nightjet pulls out in December.
It'll run via Brussels (with Eurostar connection from London) 3 times a week. This + existing train = Brussels-Berlin 6 times a week. www.europeansleeper.eu/paris

“To [oust Starmer] at this point in the cycle would be the height of irresponsibility. The party would not recover for a generation”

We shared intelligence with Israel for two years while they conducted genocide in Gaza.

It was always possible for us to stop doing this, but our leaders didn't want to.

Opposing genocide is the moral duty of our time.

Yet Palestine Action activists have been held in prison for over a year without trial. Six are now on hunger strike.

Detaining peaceful protesters under counter-terror powers is indefensible. This is political imprisonment in all but name.

Probably good news tbh

Give it a watch. 30 years on, the fight for justice in the Niger Delta is ongoing.

It's a real trade-off but resolving it basically spells the end of capitalism so better to ignore it i guess

You have to ignore quite a lot of literature to claim this lmao

It would never occur to Emily that she is at all ideological, or that she and her crank pals were imposing their views and desires upon others. What do you mean, ideology! We’re doing Science

Keep Hope Alive: a Gaza Giving Circle We are a team of volunteers in the US and UK, led by two sisters passionate about helping our friends on the ground keep their families and neighbors alive with food, water, & shelter. We saw that…

Every share helps. No donations anymore. So Palestinians face death alone.

No NGOs. No foreign governments breaking the blockade. And no donors.

This is what we’ve left them to?

What do I tell our friends and their six families?

🚨 BREAKING: MARCUS WINS DEPORTATION APPEAL

Marcus Decker, who was facing deportation after being handed a prison sentence over 2 years for climbing the QEII Bridge in 2022 with Morgan Trowland, has won his appeal against the deportation order.

The Telegraph is objectively a rag owned by fascist rich people and it's job is to push their agenda.

The fact the BBC couldn't withstand criticism from this obviously bad faith actor kind of shows we won't be missing much if it does die.

she did last year
