Just the worst people imaginable: hurling the most insane, deliberately inflammatory drivel they can and then, at the slightest sign of pushback, hurling themselves squealing to the pitch clutching their shins, rolling around pretending to be injured, shouting for a red card.

You should ask yourself whether wacky theories about Bolshevik intellectuals conspiring with the lower races to pollute the youth and undermine the fatherland with degenerate, alien ideologies sound at all familiar, and if they have any particular historical resonance

Emergency authorisations granted for maize seed treatments - Farmers Guide UK regulators have granted emergency authorisations for three seed treatments for the 2024 maize growing season, after a successful lobbying campaign.

In UK, environmental protections are waived aside for maize, with ministers listening to lobbyists not scientists—as usual.

Ask not for whom the bell tolls… - WillCycle On Sunday, I went for a lovely ride in the early-spring sunshine. It was gorgeous out! The route I was taking deliberately avoided busier roads, as low sun had often been used to get a driver off with...

This is absolutely disingenuous. The issue is neither the bell, or lack of a bell.

Where are all those Starmer defenders saying it couldn’t be true because it was in the Telegraph
Do we now have to wait and see what effect the £35 billion cut will have on people who are already struggling before we can hold Starmer & co to account?

Tony Blair tells Brits to stop self-diagnosing with depression as 'UK can't afford spiralling benefits bill' Tony Blair has warned British people against self-diagnosing with mental health conditions, pointing to the country's spiralling sickness benefits bill.

Narrator: No one receives benefits based on self diagnosis. And yes the UK can afford it but should be improving people's lives so it'snot such a massive issue.

In 2018 we left the EU's Water Regulation body and their massive fines.

Then sewage dumping increased 20x.

Before Brexit we had some of the cleanest water in Europe.

Now it is by far the dirtiest.

The media since 2015.

Every time I've advised orgs on inclusion, especially on LGBTQ+ inclusion, I've said they need a detailed plan for how to respond when the attacks come.

DO NOT put your LGBTQ staff into the public eye if you are not ready to stand with them and don't have a plan to support them. This isn't a game.

We’ve put together a starter pack of alternative media outlets. Follow these to get a different take on the news. 👇

The Duopoly is the problem. Both parties work for billionaires who have rigged the system and stolen all the wealth while homelessness is at an all time high and genocide is being committed abroad. Stop voting for the Duopoly and start organising around economic justice.

Professor Ben Saul is the UN Special Rapporteur on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights while Countering Terrorism
A brief video put out by the UN summarises his view of how Israel “has used counter-terrorism rhetoric to justify exceptional, extreme violence https://is.gd/nKb6P9 (1/2)

We need a free press It’s vital for democracy that we receive verifiable information that is not manipulated or controlled

“Just three companies, News Corp (Murdoch family), Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT, Viscount Rothermere) and Reach plc, control over 80% of daily newspaper circulation…

The hyper-rich continue to invest huge sums in acquiring control of media”

We need a free press - ie free from the billionaires.

The Guardian view on City deregulation: it would be a dangerous step backward | Editorial Editorial: Relaxing financial rules risks undermining stability, ignoring post-crash lessons and prioritising short-term gains over the long-term health of the economy

UK finance Industry deregulation is dangerous.

Post-2008 crash reforms reversed.

Consumer protection weakened, reckless speculation inevitable, asset prices will inflate, bubble will burst.

City shuns long-term investment, won't fuel economic growth.

We all deserve more money. Let me prove why it's time for universal basic income A universal basic income policy is simple yet transformative, writes Zack Polanski, deputy leader of the Green Party of England and Wales.

"If we fail to deliver real solutions – not just in rhetoric but through policies that improve people’s lives – more demagogues will rise."

The thing about Capitalism and Fascism is that uncontrolled Capitalism IS Fascism.

I hope I have cleared that up for everybody and they now understand why we are here.

Both texts from @dxggeaux "ive said it before and ill say it again: "overpopulation" is a neo-malthusian myth that exists 1. to absolve the global north of its prime role in global warming, and 2. as a pretext to both active and passive ethnic cleansing once the first major waves of climate refugees arrive [Frame #1] "moaning about "overpopulation" is a shorter way of saying " i see the earth as the titanic and as a westerner i deserve to get into the lifeboat first because i am more inherently virtuous for caring about this" [Frame #2]
