Well said @sachinnakrani.bsky.social. Behold the brilliance of @donmcrae.bsky.social & Jill Mead - the Bonnie & Clyde of broad sheet features.

Barbra Streisand is joining Jane Fonda and 600+ entertainment figures in re-launching the Committee for the First Amendment. Fonda announced the revival of the organization, initially founded by her father, Henry Fonda.Β The organization was founded in the 1940s to defend free speech against fascism.

What’s the odds on Trump landing in his chopper, firing Bradley, installing himself as captain, falsely accusing Europe of cheating, and only winning after a crowd invasion on the last singles match?

The Brits have such a way with words. You know. Those things with letter that help you define and say stuff about things.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (πŸŽ₯: Elias Eliahu)

Think yourself lucky. This slackarse effort this afternoon was planet Earth’s most lethargic rainbow of all time.

It sadly shows how mypoic Starmer’s radar is. He’s incapable of striding ahead of the past and the present to forge a future.

🚨 The EU is trying to quietly weaken nature laws during summer break. We have 10 days to stop this.
Don't let them destroy our forests, rivers & wildlife in silence. #HandsOffNature www.wwf.eu/campaigns/it...

The banner that the statue of suffragette Millicent Fawcett is holding reads: "COURAGE CALLS TO COURAGE EVERYWHERE".

A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year.
The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive.

If Yvette Cooper was still in opposition, she’d be outraged at this. Power destroys morality. Why can’t they separate the motive from the act? As @kneecapceol.bsky.social proved, the case falls apart once it moves up the legal ladder.

Asinine imbeciles.

Short term idiocy (no tree = no tree maintenance expense) & long term naivety - time for Forest For Cornwall dept at the council to pull off a coup d’etat. C’mon you huggers.

She spoke up for Gaza... Now the US is sanctioning her. Join the letter of solidarity -- let's stand with Francesca Albanese.

Please consider this. For her sake. For Gaza’s sake. For humanity’s sake.

In case you've forgotten, this is what pure #goodness looks like. Soccer star Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre, were killed in a car wreck July 3. Liverpool FC announced it will pay the two remaining years of Diogo Jota’s contract in the amount of Β£14.5β€―million to his wife and their three children.

Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action".
This is real police state behaviour.

Evaluating the impact of two decades of USAID interventions and projecting the effects of defunding on mortality up to 2030: a retrospective impact evaluation and forecasting analysis USAID funding has significantly contributed to the reduction in adult and child mortality across low-income and middle-income countries over the past two decades. Our estimates show that, unless the a...

Elon Musk casually, and illegally, dismantled USAID. According to a new study in the Lancet, that action will lead to *14 million* premature deaths between 2025 and 2030.

Again: Elon Musk is directly responsible for 14 million coming deaths. 4.5 million will be children.
