This is disability visibility.

Mamdani listened. He didn’t pander or talk over the disabled journalist.

He acknowledged his concerns and gave real responses about how he plans to fix them.

1 in 4 Americans has a disability, it’s a huge number of voters.

Don’t ignore us!

A reminder for everyone to ask their MP to go to this. Politicians must know the facts on the threat & solutions. And crucially, they need to have been publicly seen to have been informed, so they can't say they didn't know.
I urge all policymakers to attend this vital briefing on the climate & nature crisis, which brings the latest science from leading experts straight to the people in power. I’d like to see one in every country, & the organizers are open to sharing the model. More info: www.nebriefing.org
National Emergency Briefing on climate & nature
An unfiltered assessment of the latest threats arising from the climate & nature crisis to an invite-only audience. Westminster Central Hall, 27 November. Has your MP confirmed yet?

Alt read - Labour has already handed Reform the keys to UK data, so Yusuf knows they don't need to bother with DOGEing councils.

Labour's Data Bill has legalised US DOGE-style seizures of mountains of personal data on UK residents.

Farage is already gloating about it.

Yes, mostly… but can left/progressive media not join in w “man on national platform being silenced” trope?

Derbyshire wasn’t “horrified”, she didn’t even respond. This kind of spin delegitimises a good argument.

Experts feared it would take 193 years to reduce London's deadly levels of NO₂ air pollution to legal levels.

This week Mayor Sadiq Khan announced his team had defied the howls of pro-fossil fuel and motoring lobbyists to achieve the life-saving target in just 9 YEARS.

Here's how they did it 🧵
