Blue states should come together to declare an emergency. Here’s how | Thomas Geoghegan States opposed to Trump can create a compact – a new prototype for American government – even if it’s perceived as political theater

I never thought I’d say this, but I agree with MTG 100%.

And for the record, I’m not paid for any of my opinions. Never have been, never will be.

Jane Goodall, the celebrated primatologist and conservationist, has died Jane Goodall, the conservationist renowned for her groundbreaking chimpanzee field research and globe-spanning environmental advocacy, has died. She was 91.

There are a few people that are inspirations to almost all scientists that I know, and Jane Goodall was one of them. RIP. 😢

Remember: Undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars in taxes every year.

They pay into government funded healthcare programs, but can't access them except in case of emergency.

Emergency Medicaid spending accounted for less than 1% of total Medicaid spending in 2023.

Some good news.

London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.

The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

As one retired general pointed out, someone with a cold could wipe out the whole chain of command!

Silent protest. Be there, be seen, turn your backs to them, but do nothing even if provoked.

Dear Labour, people aren’t leaning towards the Greens because they don’t know what the Greens are, but because they see what you, Labour, are doing.

The best way to stop them going to the Greens, is to have more left wing, less xenophobic, less stupid policies.

Attacking the Greens doesn’t help.

Hugh Grant’s had enough of Britain’s bent tabloid parasites, so he’s rocked up with Hacked Off and 38 Degrees to demand the PM finally rein in the lying, gutter-crawling journo hacks who treat the law like toilet paper.

I don't know who wrote this anonymous memo: archive.ph/5imGV But its themes and language overlap strongly with some of the things the "Labour" peer Maurice Glasman said in this discussion: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/l...

Such a doomladen prognosis, as this is not just about England. Whilst not as obvious from the piece Wales, Scotland, and NI are also affected by "the hard decisions". It saddens me that I will live out the last few years of my life with both my new country & my country of birth in such dire straits.

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

It's odd, I'm continually confronted with outrage against illegal immigrants from politicians and the press, and yet 1 in 4 (British) children growing up in poverty barely gets a mention...

It's almost as though consternation over one was being manufactured to deflect attention from the other.

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it.
Yes, they might.
And he should wear it as a badge of honour.
Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet.
Where's the hazard in that?

Starmer asks Conservative peer to write planning bill to block judicial reviews Exclusive: One option could be to leave treaty that allows legal claims against projects such as Heathrow expansion

You have been warned. UKICE in the making. If you sleepwalk into this you deserve all you get. Starmer needs to go, and a coalition in waiting needs to be set up with instructions to voters. The next GE could be your last. And for heaven's sake, stop giving Farage oxygen.

Hate, hate again, hate better – for Farage, the country needs educating about foreigners | John Crace Was he sure everyone hated legal immigrants as much as he did? Nige knew better because he was Nige

I think shouting at Farage is the wrong tactic anyway. As we found with Trump they thrive on controversy. Ignore him and shout at Starmer instead. Support progressive views and move the needle to the left not the right.

The true question right now is whether you believe in the moral character of the British public. If you do, you'll want to have the fight with Reform. You'll believe that the public will hate the idea of breaking up families, spying on & deporting people who've worked here for years.

Pete Buttigieg WARNS America:

“They didn't stop at the law firms. They didn't stop at the Universities. They didn't even stop at the comedians. They are NOT going to stop until they have TOTAL POWER!."

It's called appeasement. Chamberlain and Hitler come to mind and that didn't go too well!+ Unfortunately, Starmer's successor is no Churchill.

IDTS, he was one of the few top dems to go toe to toe on Fox News. His lifestyle may have put some off, but he would have been a great communicator. The party didn't need a "grandfather" as VP, it needed a younger person with the ability of PB.

Did like the way Charles kept looking at Trump when he said "we"!

I shudder to think what would have happened to the Greenham Common women, and also the CND supporters who spray-painted the bombers.
