Please, in the name of humanity, I’m begging for your help.
I’m sick from the cold and the rain that flooded our home.
My children are freezing and hungry, and Nasser still needs his daily treatment.
Your support could save us tonight. ❤️🩹

when I hear Starmer speak about immigration and race he's spitting in the face of the Labour voters I knew growing up in Manchester, who put themselves on the line against the National Front - and often the police - in the 1970s and 1980s.
Ultimately the vision of britain that starmer has is profoundly cynical, nasty and just not true. He thinks that abidicating his responsibility in showing that another option is maturity and doing the difficult thing, but he's literally just creating the hateful country he is so afraid of

Donald Trump destroyed public service broadcasting in the US - it's little surprise Nigel Farage wants to do the same thing here.

Thou shalt not forgive or forget all the evil things Marjorie Taylor Greene said and did. The main reason she is talking more ‘sane’ these days is because she wants to inherit the MAGA cult.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

People show me giraffes every day and I recognize them every time at a level we've never seen. It's amazing, and the experts, who are smart guys and even sometimes a smart gal, say they've never seen anything like it. Nobody recognized giraffes until I came along. Nobody was talking about giraffes.

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector.
100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land.
That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.
