Trump has normalised violence, lies, deceit, bullying. His behaviour gives all right wing nationalists in the UK the boost they need. Musk is even worse.

I am so very very sorry to hear this. He was someone I respected and liked enormously.

England's water firms have paid out an astonishing £78,200,000,000 in dividends since privitisation - with 70% of investors currently being from overseas - Ian Overton in the @bylinetimes.bsky.social

Yet our bills go up? Why do we allow this con?!

Nationalise water now!

Calling all UK Blue Sky folks. I'd be so grateful if you'd sign this petition by 11th May. It's a critical issue for people like me who are severely immunosuppressed. Thank you so muchhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700304.

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears.

Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak.

They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent.

This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

So stick that in your pipe anti-vaxxers

There are only 4,400 signatures on this petition because billionaires convinced everyone via social media and some MSM that COVID was mild and wouldn’t impact them. They thought just ‘vulnerable’ people would be impacted. Wrong! We are officially still in a Pandemic, it doesn’t take long to 🧵

Thanks @francesryan.bsky.social @doctoroxford.bsky.social et al for a great article looking back over the last five years

The NHS is failing to do enough to protect people from catching Covid When Janice called paramedics for her mum, they told her 'Covid is over' and refused to mask up. This is endemic of the problems in the NHS.

With the official advice from the NHS saying that Covid-19 is mainly spread by ‘droplet and touch’ but the World Health Organisation saying the primary spread is ‘airborne’, the message to staff and patients is confused

Morning Bluesky.

Trump is now talking about placing tariffs on pharmaceutical products to try to force drugs companies to move production to the US. Americans already have very high medical costs - now they’re going to get higher.

Fiction is often a predictor of horrors to come. The Handmaid's Tale was such a horror, years ago, but it's all come true - in Afghanistan, in Iran, and now in the United States of America. It all starts with the erosion of rights, often of female rights, then of other minorities. Stand up. Now.
