I see that Led by donkeys is asking people not to purchase Tesla cars, but have considered the 1000’s who work for Tesla? They aren’t responsible for the ravings of Musk. The cars reduce environmental poison, Musk spouts poison but you don’t have to breathe it in!

Radical Israeli settlers get β€˜free rein’ to raid West Bank Terrifying attacks on Palestinian villages offer evidence the far-right feels emboldened by Donald Trump lifting sanctions on settlements

Why are these people called β€˜settlers’ not terrorists? bit.ly/4junJp6 they are motivated by religion - as I understand it they believe the Bible gives them the right to this land - and they use violence to terrorise the people who live there

Rewatching Bleak House (BBC i player) and it’s really wonderful, not beak but warm and intelligent full of great performances. Try it, and warm your cold hearts.

With billionaires buying up and using legacy media as mouthpiece’s for their fascistic agendas, this is incredibly concerning. Feels like the Guardian/Observer is the last bastion of trustworthy journalism, and it’s in great peril. Please boycott during the strike days!!

@theguardian.com is wrong to be considering a sale of The Observer to Tortoise Media. Our oldest Sunday newspaper is better aligned to The Guardian. It's wrong to be considering this change of ownership.

Rachel Reeves Tells Farmers There Will Be No U-Turn On Inheritance Tax Changes Thousands are expected to protest against the chancellor's Budget.

Among those taking part in the farming protests today will be Jeremy Clarkson, who told The Times in 2021 that avoiding inheritance tax was β€œcritical” in his decision to buy land.

Imagine if BlueSky rebranded itself as... β€œTwitter”. And rebranded posts to β€œTweets”. Wouldn't that be something
