Sometimes you meet trees that undoubtedly must shake themselves, stretch their branches and move around the woods at night. This old beech has roots like tentacles, swarming across the mossy rocks, not to tether it to the earth but to propel it around when my back is turned.

The question isn't how we save ourselves from Reform.
It's how we save ourselves from Labour.
Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot
It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Bravo @ben-cooke.bsky.social. Brilliant scoop, and hard to imagine a more important one.

“This government is hiding the true danger of climate change from the people”. Spooks don’t mess about when they leak.

PM Starmer:

Putin being on a board of peace - he is waging war on a European country and as we sit here, they're raining down bombs on #Ukraine.

it's minus 20, 60% of the energy in Kiev is gone and people are having to put tents up in their living rooms to keep warm.

Trump on NATO: "Until the last few days when I told them about Iceland, they loved me. They called me daddy."

I like how the rules of media sanewashing have a paradoxical effect. Trump doesn’t simply fuck up his speech; he only “appears to” because the rules dictate we have to leave room for the possibility he’s announcing a campaign to acquire the sovereign nation of Iceland—another NATO ally—as well.
For the second time in two days, Trump appears to confuse Iceland and Greenland.

"They‘re not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. I mean, our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."

BREAKING: European Union halts new trade deal during Trump’s speech in Switzerland.

I watched the entire speech so that you did not have to, and recapped it here.

Simply put: if Joe Biden gave this speech, they would call for the 25th Amendment. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

'Is There A Plan Behind Trump's Confusion of Greenland and Iceland' will appear somewhere tomorrow, I'm sure.

people invested in the idea that the system can still work will do anything to avoid the reality of the president's deluded ignorance.

⚠️ Yesterday the Government released a National Security Assessment which confirms what we've known for a while - continued nature loss is a global threat and would have dire consequences for all of us.

Trump didn’t flood Minnesota with federal agents because of undocumented immigrants — he did it because he lost there, hates its leadership, and wanted to remind a blue state what power looks like when it’s unrestrained. Texas and Florida, with millions more undocumented residents, were ignored.
Trump’s Immigration “Crackdown” Is a Political Occupation, Not Law Enforcement
3,000 federal agents in Minneapolis — while Texas and Florida, with far larger undocumented populations, see none. This isn’t about immigration. It’s about vengeance, intimidation, and power.
