Yn flin am fy anwybodaeth, ond ble ma’ dod o hyd i ‘The freak show’?

It's a two horse race. Plaid Cymru or Reform. But on the ballot paper, you'll only see one name that puts the people of Wales and our communities first - and that's only Plaid Cymru. Mae’n ras dau geffyl. Plaid Cymru neu Reform. Ond ar y papur pleidleisio, welwch chi mond un enw sy’n rhoi pobl a chymunedau Cymru’n gyntaf – a Plaid Cymru ydi hwnnw.

Dewiswch obaith gyda Phlaid Cymru. ✊

Tolerance or division. Progress or decay. Plaid or Reform.

Choose hope with Plaid Cymru. ✊

Of course Labour had a result EXACTLY LIKE THIS in Caerphilly nearly six months ago but because Wales doesn't exist that prompted absolutely no soul searching and in fact they doubled down on McSweeney-ism.

The Guardian view on Plaid Cymru’s rise: Welsh politics is on the brink of a revolution | Editorial Editorial: After a century of Labour dominance, disillusionment with both Westminster and Cardiff has given progressive nationalists a historic opportunity

Ysgrif dda ar y cyfan. Gyda’r Dde yn ymosod ar y defydd o Wrdw gan y Gwyrddion ym Manceinion mae’n werth nodi fod un Plaid wedi gwrthod tra-arglwyddiaeth y iaith fain drwy gydol ei hanes.

Good piece @theguardian.com . With the Right attacking the use of Urdu by the Greens in Manchester, it is worth noting that @plaidcymru.bsky.social has rejected Anglophone monolingualism throughout its 100 year history.

Reform UK 'using racism in bid for power without constraint', expert warns

Reform UK are aiming to win “power without constraint” by appealing to “racism or aggressive nationalism” and ideas "left behind generations ago", a leading human rights organisation has warned

Under capitalism it's normal to let children go hungry, let banks force people out of their homes, let sick people die for lack of access to healthcare. But the idea that billionaires could just be less rich - not poor, not struggling, just less rich, is considered insane.

Time to ponder the sheer evil madness of capitalism

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

I like the government pivot to reminding voters that Farage is an avowed enemy of NATO & Europe & an ardent admirer of Vladimir Putin, who routinely orders the murders of critics & opponents. It is politically effective & morally essential.

The siege of Gaza was the precedent

Yr Hen Iaith part 80: Ann Griffiths - the women who wrote some of the most popular Welsh hymns of all time Jerry Hunter As we’ve stressed several times, one of the more exciting developments in Welsh scholarship over recent decades has been the illumination of poetry by women which was previously confined…

It is sobering to think that the vast majority of Welsh poetry composed by women in the medieval and early modern periods was composed and transmitted orally and never committed to writing and thus lost to us ✍️Jerry Hunter

The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.

The contempt these people have for places they deem provincial as soon as those places refuse to be symbolic vehicles for white populism

Remember when we thought Sarah Palin was the dumbest person in politics

Good times.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Jeffrey Epstein took more photos of people he only hung out with once than I have of my best friends of 15 years

Emily Thornberry complains about English students attending Scottish universities having to pay tuition fees, when it's free for Scottish students

Then she suggests that Scotland should allow English students to study for free like Scottish students

Ethnic Cleansing in Ohio? Nazi Lies in Vance's America

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

Why are UK universities failing? - LSE Impact The HE sector in the UK faces the prospect of a university going into administration. How have universities fallen so low and is change possible?

Why are UK universities failing? A pretty good analysis that chimes with my experience as a governor.

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.

They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

EXCLUSIVE: It is an 'insult' to expect taxpayers to foot the bill for Peter Mandelson's return to the Lords after fresh revelations over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, the SNP have said

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

Donald Trump is mentioned hundreds of times in the latest batch of Epstein files. Among the new documents is a list compiled by the FBI last year of allegations made against Trump by callers to its national Threat Operation Center tip line.
