If there’s any justice in this universe, JD Vance and Mike Johnson will end up in the Hell they believe in.

Without the dots, it looks like polygraph test results from a pathological liar.

You can list Keir Starmer's modest achievements all you like. But as he has actively alienated his own voters - on Gaza, protest rights, benefits, green policies, cruelty to immigrants etc - it makes no difference. It's not a mystery. When you tell people you hate them, they will hate you back.

Israel condemns hateful and racist greens.

Israel condemns hateful and racist greens.

For years we've seen an ongoing genocide.

It's been backed by right wing papers, the US President and by this Labour Government.

Why I'm only on Bluesky. Well, for now.

Haven't used any of these social media platforms for years, and Ecosia.com instead of Google.

Bannon, Epstein, Farage and Johnson and the Plot to 'Topple' Theresa May The far-right former Trump adviser told Jeffrey Epstein that "we are overthrowing May right now" as he worked with Boris Johnson to remove the then Conservative Prime Minister from office

The Epstein files grant us a rare glimpse into the kind of machinations that must be happening all the time. As @bylinetimes.bsky.social reveals, Trump's fixer, Steve Bannon, helped Boris Johnson overthrow Theresa May. Blatant foreign interference in our politics. 🧡

The Myth of Regenerative Ranching The purveyors of β€œgrass-fed” beef want you to believe that it solves meat’s environmental problem. But this is merely a branding exercise, not a climate solution.

You may have come across a piece about the ostensible plight of regenerative ranchers in Point Reyes in a lefty mag. It spends a lot of time on description and pathos and almost none on the actual environmental impacts of livestock. Read this too (or just instead): newrepublic.com/article/1637...

The political effects of X’s feed algorithm - Nature Among users initially on a chronological feed, 7 weeks of exposure to X’s algorithmic feed in 2023 shifted political attitudes and account-following behaviour in a more conservative direction compared...

Brainwashing, 2026 edition. This paper shows how X's algorithmic feed shifts people's views rightwards. It's a sophisticated, highly effective form of reorientation. And it is utterly chilling.
If you're still on that platform, unhook yourself now.

Jury returns unanimous not guilty verdict in case against climate-protesting medics on trial for cracking windows at JP Morgan bank - UK Health Alliance on Climate Change Six doctors and nurses have been unanimously acquitted for charges of causing criminal damage as part of a protest in 2022.

It’s becoming clear that β€œthe general public seem to support health professionals taking direct action on genocide and climate collapse within the context of the government’s failure to act.” We can all learn from this ukhealthalliance.org/news-item/ju... πŸ™ @healthxr.bsky.social

This verdict will get a tiny fraction of the coverage of recent Palestine Action acquittals.
But it is also important.
Juries are refusing to convict peaceful protesters who want to prevent genocide & climate catastrophe, despite - or because of - growing authoritarianism from government.
