What A Difference 3.5 Years Make A Bipartisan Failing Summarized In One Night

Last night Ukraine attacked Russian targets (including Moscow) with hundreds of drones and Russian authorities downplayed the event. Three years ago we were told if Ukraine attacked Crimea, Russia would go nuclear. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

🎯 👇

"The attack and the reaction to it show the extraordinary failure of Washington (and European) support for Ukraine up until now; how it has taken a war that could have been ended, and strung it out into an extraordinary bloody mess that will probably reach a terrible crescendo this winter"

Domestic wood burners kill thousands and cost NHS millions a year, report suggests Burning of wood and coal in homes contributes to almost 2500 deaths a year, and stopping unnecessary burning would save the NHS millions of pounds, a report suggests. An analysis by the charity Globa...

Burning wood or coal may feel “natural,” but it causes slow, silent harm - fine particles that damage hearts and lungs, killing thousands yearly.

"Where is the compassion in locking animals away and restricting their natural behaviours?" - Anthony Field

Locking cattle indoors and calling it ‘progress’? 🚫

In his blog post for @wclnews.bsky.social, Anthony Field, Head of our UK Team, warns that the Government’s methane plan risks worsening animal welfare while doing little for the planet.

Glad to see our president is focused on the right priorities as 40M people are about to lose SNAP tomorrow. You may not have food stamps but the president just added some sweet looking marble to the Lincoln Bathroom.

Bastard motherfucking fireworks

WHY!?!?

My dog: petrified
My cats: petrified
Every pet in 10 miles: petrified
Every wild animal: petrified

And tomorrow: same again
And Sunday
And next weekend
And the weekend after

Ukraine’s military intelligence has caught up with another Russian war criminal who committed atrocities in the Kyiv region in 2022.

Lieutenant Colonel Veniamin Mazherin, 45, was blown up in his car in the Kemerovo region which is deep in the heart of Russia.

No Russian is safe.

15 penguins are trapped underground at Sea Life London — no sunlight, no real space, no freedom.

We joined protesters demanding their release. No matter how slick the tanks look, cruelty isn’t conservation — it’s exploitation.

And we will keep fighting!

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

Your daily reminder that the government continues to commercially support an individual who wants to destroy it through fascist violence.

Ukraine isn’t letting up. Another huge wave of drones flying with Russian reports of activity over occupied Crimea, Rostov, Donetsk, Luhansk, Voronezh, and Bryansk. So far.

Dear [All #PoliticsLive panel members],

Immigration has fallen steeply since Boris Johnson's unplanned peak, and will fall further this year. But you're all talking about asylum seekers - a small part of the whole. They could also be handled in a better planned and executed way.

A quick reminder that the House is not in session because Speaker Johnson CANCELED it, not because of the current shutdown.

This follows smears by @thetimes.com and @dailymail.co.uk about a Labour MP's spending 😱😱 @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Council tax increases could be seen because Cleveland Fire Authority has a £3m funding black hole.

This story makes no mention of the fact the authority owned a company which collapsed this year leaving 38 people out of work and owing taxpayers more than £1.5m.
