Corridor care is not a “winter pressure.”

Patients are being treated in hospital corridors every month of the year.

This is a permanent crisis, not a seasonal one.
Corridor care can end if it’s treated as a national emergency.

📮 Send our letter to Wes Streeting to demand an end corridor care.

When I worked for NOAA, we conducted research cruises in the Indian Ocean, and one of them ended in Diego Garcia, where we have a military base. Trump just imposed a tariff on Diego Garcia, but they don’t export shit since no one lives there because the UK expelled the Chagossians to build the base.
The stupidity in Trump’s new tariffs is apparently limitless.

He has introduced a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory.

The only inhabited island there is Diego Garcia, home to US service personnel.

TRUMP HAS PUT A TARIFF ON A US MILITARY BASE

Alarming and illustrative of just how far off the rails illegal schools can go. We often call out illegal schools run by religious fundamentalists, but as this makes clear, conspiracists run them too. The issue remains: children’s education is being neglected.

Antarctic warming from fossil fuel burning is driving the fastest breeding shift ever seen in penguins. Gentoo, Adelie, and Chinstrap penguins are nesting up to 24 days earlier. This increases competition for food and space, helping Gentoos expand but threatening Chinstrap and Adelie.
Penguins bring forward breeding season as Antarctica warms: study
Penguins are bringing forward their breeding season at record rates as Antarctica rapidly warms due to climate change, according to research published by a global team of scientists on Tuesday.

Trump is pushing the invasion of Greenland again. Denmark needs to kick out the US, send a larger military contingent and air defence systems to protect against a US invasion and attacks. Failing to do so is dangerously shortsighted.

Denmark needs to get rid of the US military base in Greenland and so does the rest of Europe. They aren’t going to defend against a Russian invasion but open a secondary front line to invade you too. It’s time to kick the US out worldwide.

The USA is running out of oil it has less than 10 years left

Very soon it will have to import oil, and then gasoline prices which Americans are so obsessed with will be decided by another country

Venezuela has the most oil in the world $14tn worth

Nixon insisted the bombing of Cambodia was just targeting Viet Cong outposts there and not meant to undermine its government, but the bombings destabilized the Lon Nol government and paved the way for the Khmer Rouge’s killing fields and the massacre of more than a million people.
NBC's sources said that "the potential mission in Mexico is not designed to undermine the Mexican government." But that's what it will do if the US is doing CIA drone strikes on Mexican soil over the objections of the president.
