I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

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.

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

I've been waiting for this.

Independent autopsy of Renee Good is in. It's strong evidence against Agent Ross, given what it means about the second or third shot through the left-side window.

It's the second and third shots that make the easiest criminal case of a willful killing.
Independent autopsy in ICE shooting death of Renee Good released by law firm in civil investigation
The results of an independent autopsy for Renee Good have been released as part of a law firm's civil investigation, two weeks after she was shot and killed by a federal agent in Minneapolis.

Farage is thriving because too many people feel the system is stacked against them, and no one in power is telling a convincing story about how that will change.

During solar conjunction season 🔴☀️🌍, ESOC teams guide @esa.int’s Mars Express and ExoMars TGO through the quiet zone: an orbital blackout where radio communications drop to bare‑bones housekeeping data and quick daily check-ins—keeping Mars missions safe in the Sun’s glare 🛰️.
There is a blackout between Mars and Earth, and the Sun is to blame. 🔴⚫️🌍

🌞 Once every 25 months, our star passes between these two planets. The alignment is called solar conjunction.

🔇 While the Sun blocks our view of Mars until 21 January, communication with our martian orbiters falls silent.
