Should the worldโ€™s richest man, Elon Musk have a slice of the UK energy market? I donโ€™t think so, which is why I added my name to the petition to Ofgem demanding they reject Tesla's application to supply energy here in the UK. Join me and add your name too?

Context here has to be the state of what they inherited- they donโ€™t have the luxury of doing all the Laboury thinks theyโ€™d like.

Sometimes we have to retreat, recharge and go again. We canโ€™t afford to give up. Whether or not itโ€™s too late we fight

All this faux outrage at a couple of acts at Glastonbury- really!
Where is the outrage at the fact that Israel has killed close to the number of people in the audience for Sir Rod.
Young people are supposed to rage against the machine. All this hypocrisy.

I may be wrong but I think she is saying we are not at the start of this journey but a long way down the track. The political resistance has been asleep (with some notable exceptions Jack) for years since 2016 at least. How to stop elections being cancelled?

Kaja Kallas:the EU has secured 80% of 2 million ammunition rounds pledged to #Ukraine.

"While all eyes are on what is happening in Iran and in the Middle East, there are people dying in #Kyiv, because Russia keeps bombing Ukraine every single day. So we have to keep up the pressure on Russia.

This is Maryna. Russia murdered her in the latest attack on Khmelnytskyi region.

Her parents are injured too, and her grandmother is in intensive care.

Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. โ€œThe officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, โ€˜No, heโ€™s not the one,โ€™ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, โ€˜Take him anyway.'โ€

That moment marked the beginning of Wilmerโ€™s search for answers โ€” answers heโ€™s still waiting for.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.

An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."

The other said, "Take him anyway."

So they did.

JD Vance says the U.S. โ€œshould own Greenland.โ€

Sounds familiar? It should.

This isnโ€™t just headline bait โ€” it echoes a disinformation operation that started in 2019.

Russiaโ€™s fingerprints are all over it. Letโ€™s rewind. ๐Ÿ‘‡

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained Fabian Schmidtโ€™s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.

No one knows why he was detained.

Hard to believe we are here. History will speak to the cult: filled with grievance; easily gaslit by an obvious conman; against their own interests. History will also speak to enablers, opportunists, grifters.

But IMO - the true disaster has been the media's widespread normalization of a madman.

Beginning to wonder if it is a trade war at all. A bizarre America first isolationism that blames everyone else for Americans facing economic collapse whilst the billionaires grab more money / power.

Going to be interesting as he know how / where they got the votes from โ€˜Elon is very good with those vote counting computersโ€™. I think that is why he is acting as arrogantly as he is almost as if he thinks he has something on Trump in the same way Putin does.
