He’ll get used to it. Just tell him he gets prettier with every brushing session. 😹😹

It fascinates me that people seem more enthusiastic about accommodations for Evangelical Christians who don't want to be challenged than they are about accommodating disabilities.

One of the lives Stoppard saved was mine.

The U.S. has conducted 19 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing at least 76 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

Two ex-party leaders make major demand for universal free childcare Green Party MP Siân Berry and Mandu Reid, former leader of the Women’s Equality Party, have joined forces to call for universal free childcare to help struggling parents

🚨Let's treat childcare like infrastructure.

In a new report written with the brilliant Mandu Reid, I am calling for Universal Free Childcare to be moved forward as serious policy.

This is a big vision and I hope others will come to share it.

AI data center 'frenzy' is pushing up your electric bill — here's why Energy-hungry data centers that underpin artificial intelligence are contributing to higher residential electricity bills, say experts.

Across the country, electricity costs are rising with no sign of slowing down.

One of the main culprits: data centers.

As big tech continues to build data centers around the country, the electricity demands are spiking our rates.

This practice of socializing costs & privatizing profits must end.

How about we worry less, as a society, about whether individuals might be cheating to get a disability accommodation or some help buying food, and more about whether extremely wealthy people and corporations are paying their fair share of taxes?

Brexit: the trillion pound ‘mistake’ The recent NBER report suggests the Treasury’s 2016 analysis – slammed by Brexiters as a ‘hoax’– actually understated the impact of Brexit

"Assuming no change in the rate of taxation, and all other things being equal, the exchequer will lose the thick end of £100bn in tax revenues this year.

Far from having to raise £26bn in extra taxes, Reeves could have chosen to halve the 20% rate of VAT with money to spare."

Someone please leak the entirety of the Epstein Files so the world can move on from this stupidity and throw the criminals in prison to rot.

"Watch what Trump's inner cohort -- in particular, Kushner -- wants to do to Ukraine and what they want to do to Gaza, because it indicates what they want to do to the world at large."

If you can, please consider donating to their GoFundMe. The money is going to union members this holiday so they can buy groceries and pay rent while they fight for a fair contract.

If MiUSA means anything at all, it must mean good paying jobs for workers.

A photo of workers at Individualized Shirts, a shirt factory in New Jersey. Each person has their fist in the air as a sign of solidarity. There's a sign behind them with photos and the words: "Fair Contract Now."

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Jury trials scrapped for crimes with sentences of less than three years The reforms are being brought in to tackle unprecedented delays in the Crown Court.

The facts have indeed changed: Runnymede is reversed; one of the most fundamental rights guaranteed by the Magna Carta has been done away with.

Who voted for that?

Anyone?

Common sense and it should be happening allover the EU and UK too. #CovidHasNotGoneAway

If the last 10 years have taught us anything politically, it's this: Idiots may have a vote, but if you base your policies on what they want, everyone loses big time.
#RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

We need to be able to see that the line "accommodations have gone too far" is an expression of the ableist notion that disabled students do not belong in higher ed. Its fundamentally an anxiety about the fact that disabled students get an "advantage" over abled students.

Funny how @zackpolanski.bsky.social suggesting a raft of policies to try and improve the lives of the vast majority is ‘fantasy economics’, but when Brexiteers were allowed to indulge their lunatic fantasies about leaving the EU it somehow became ‘The Will of the People’. 🦄🤔

Mild Covid-19 linked to structural brain changes and neuronal damage.

"Research shows that even mild cases of Covid-19 can lead to measurable brain damage and neurodegeneration, especially when cognitive symptoms such as memory decline persist after infection."

Goodnight, Hookland.

Trump blows up Venezuelans in boats for alleged drug smuggling.

Trump pardons ex-president of Honduras who was convicted of...drug smuggling.

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.

Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim.

Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen.

Authoritarianism hurts all of us.
