Let's keep our focus on what's happening with the 'cease fire' in Palestine. Trump's beach buddy is continuing the cleansing while all eyes are on the 'good television show' in the Oval Office.

Trump and Vance are not only shouting over Zelenskyy but they're also taking the attention away from the ongoing tragedy in Palestine.

Watching the farmers' protests on the News... Loud, disruptive, intimidating. Not a policeman in sight. Not an arrest made. Just sayin'...

At what point does the military step in? Isn’t that what often happens in dictatorships where the dictator goes insane? Isn’t the US military supposed to have a plan for everything?

So would the UK and Europe let American refugees in? The ones who flee Trump's MAGA?

Won't be long before Americans start fleeing their country. Where can they go?

Remember, Margaret Atwood has said in interviews that nothing in Handmaid's Tale is purely fictional. It's all been done somewhere in the real world. And we're certainly learning currently that "it can't happen here" is the real fiction.

If true, what Labour front bench is doing is unforgivable. The #CANBill is essential & has backing of huge number of experts, scientists, unions & enjoys cross-party support. If backbench Labour MPs ever consider rebelling against leadership on anything, let it be this - a liveable future for all 👇
Labour MPs ordered to sink landmark climate and environment bill
Exclusive: Supporters of bill say Labour has already insisted on removal of clauses requiring UK to meet targets agreed at Cop and other summits

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Israel is bombing the places the hostages are held while telling the world that Hamas is preventing a ceasefire and hostage exchange. This is textbook abuser behaviour: blame the victim while you’re abusing them for what it is you’re doing. This is psychopathy in its purest form.

Always my favourite thing when academics do the hard work to prove the thing your gut already knew to be clear and true.
Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵
In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians.
We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties.
