Single dad, Andrew was forced to leave his job after being diagnosed with a disability.
He received little help from the social security system and had no option but to turn to a food bank.
It’s not right that disabled parents like Andrew are having to sit in the cold 💔

The fact that they admire and agree with other dictators should be a loud, reverberating alarm. They are telling you what they plan on doing here in America. Why aren't more people paying attention??

Since a Minneapolis police officer murdered George Floyd in 2020, the number of people killed by the police each year has continued to rise — and Black Americans are still killed in disproportionate numbers. Our data reporter explains his findings. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/u...

George Floyd was murdered by police five years ago today.
The Say Their Names cemetery in Minneapolis features memorials for Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Amadou Diallo, Oscar Grant, Korryn Gaines, Freddie Gray and far too many more Black people who died at the hands of police.

Day 80 of Israeli blockade on Gaza, using starvation as a weapon against 2m people, half of them children.
The 100 trucks that were allowed in yesterday - "a drop in the ocean" - did not even reach their destinations.

That this has been so blindingly obvious is instructive. Going further with reducing net migration will produce very little political gains for this current government.
The 50% drop in net migration just announced will surprise precisely nobody who has been paying attention to the issue, as opposed to exploiting and lying about it for clicks & votes. I doubt the stats will change the toxic narratives of the latter group, though.

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego
Astonishing RFK Jr interview with NBC. At 23.30 he claims pharmaceuticals are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US [wtf]. He discloses the name & medical history of the 2nd child to die of measles, implies she wasn't healthy & argues about her cause of death. @gorskon.bsky.social
Key takeaways from RFK Jr.'s interview on measles vaccine, food dyes, weight loss drugs and more
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke with CBS News in an exclusive interview. Here are some highlights.

When the Home Office was trialling their visit visa (racist) algorithm, academics/campaigners were the first people to be trapped. The traffic light would flag their country of origin as too risky, even where it was obvious that they had been invited to speak. It continues without the algorithm.
Obviously things have got dramatically worse in the US recently, and I don't want to diminish that, but I've been at *so many* conferences in the UK on topics like empire, humanitarianism and development where multiple speakers from the Global South have been denied visas or held at the border
I just attended a conference in the US. We had one speaker detained and two others turned away at the border.

Fascism is happening in front of your eyes. You can call it that or not - I don't give a fuck - but that is what it is.
Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.”

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference.
The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

It really isn't. Most corruption is sneaky & subtle. It happens behind closed doors, without recording equipment, often on the basis of unspoken understandings. This Musk shit is what corruption would look like if it was being dramatised by primary school children for their end of year play.

God bless that guy off-camera. "Yeah, I'm an American journalist. I'd like to hear your answer to what she's asking "
Here's Marjorie Taylor Greene literally telling a British reporter to "go back to your country" and berating her for trying to ask a question.
"We don't give a CRAP about your opinion."
