πŸ’― recommend the heartwarming film #PowerStation, about a London couple who galvanise their neighbours to turn their street into an energy-generating powerhouse by all putting solar panels on their roofs - an inspiring illustration of transformative community led #ClimateAction

Private affluence and public squalor are two sides of the same coin in a neoliberal society. Markets feed one, and they neglect the other.

A society that lets its public realm collapse cannot endure,

And the public also knows now. They can see that this is happening. That is why they are angry

Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3 Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activistβ€”Harmeet Dhillonβ€”currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

After praising Zack Polanski's communication skills, deputy leader of the Green Party Rachel Millward says,

"I remember how I felt on the morning of Brexit"

"We just literally let Farage's lies write history"

Yep.
They wouldn't arrest someone with a "P***s Out" placard at a Farage/Reform riot.

Let's face it, the fact that a bloke was arrested for wearing a "Plasticine Action" T-shirt a few weeks back probably answers your question. The irony is that mass on-the-spot arrests are only feasible because the crowd is essentially peaceful and non-violent.

And yes, media aren't just complicit, they are fueling all this, because most of them, if not all, are in far-right "entrepeneurs" hands.

Due to shortage of personnel, police already prioritize resources to attend the most serious incidents and violent events are more likely to be attended by police. These protestors pose no threat of violence but they’re arrested in their 100s

Absolute bonkers...

This govt trapped itself into a spiral of complete idiocy

Also, solidarity with this woman for having to face arrest for simply disagreeing with govt policy

Her card was very specifically dissenting against the government's actions.

It's a very very dark place that this road takes us to if dissenting government decisions is enough to get you arrested.

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

β€œI do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

The hind end of a lamb that shows its tail reaches almost to its hocks, or "ankles." It is walking through sagebrush and dried grass.

It's that time of year when sheep are being brought down from Idaho's mountains for the winter. How many of you knew that lambs are born with long tails? This one clearly escaped the docking process.

They still haven’t found all the missing children from the floods. Why are they more worried about Illinois than about the children in Texas?

we have to rebuild those public goods on which we all depend: health, education, housing, and infrastructure.

We have to tax excess, whether that be wealth or inheritance or speculative finance.
And we have to redefine prosperity.

And why is Reform UK not condemned for encouraging political violence after parading Lucy Connolly as a martyr for free speech? Our moral inconsistency is undermining all genuine efforts to stop the violence and the hatred.

Murder at a synagogue - terrorism.

Attempted murder at a mosque - not terrorism.

The British press, and all British political parties….

They actively support the genocide, it's not a matter of not standing up to them. Israel is deeply embedded in the UK/US establishment.

Because world leaders & the such like have no balls to stand up to them, they'll cower behind d WW2 which we all accept was vile but in the same breath celebrate the murder of kids in tents for decades, not just this 'war'

They need to open their eyes, calling out their shit isn't antisemitism
