NEW: A right-wing think tank known for drafting model legislation for state GOP lawmakers, is expanding its state-level anti-voting efforts. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

36 years on, and the Chinese government still seeks to erase the memory of the June 1989 #TiananmenMassacre. World leaders should renew pressure on Beijing to acknowledge the Tiananmen Massacre and provide reparations to victims' families. bit.ly/3FjDLD6

🇺🇦👀😅 The Russians are demanding the "dissolution of Ukrainian private armies and formations." But we don't even have them by law. But after their ultimatums, I will now think about it, — Zelensky.

Reform UK are falsely reporting that they have saved the Taxpayer money - basing their figure on having one fewer councillors than the previous administration. They don’t - Leader of Worcestershire County Council, Reform UK’s Jo Monk miscounted their Cabinet members and forgot Ian Cresswell.

And some wonder why people get disillusioned with politicians? The sorry tale of the Armada Way tree-felling fiasco. Heads should be hung in shame... westcountryvoices.co.uk/the-damning-...

A reminder: The ‘costs’ of the employment rights bill include giving low paid workers the right to sick pay from day one. How many execs or senior managers in the big outsourcing companies who signed this letter have to worry about paying the bills if they take a day off sick?

Dubai Dick don't want you to have a pension.

EU decision-makers are being urged not to water down climate ambitions. The European Commission plans to propose in July a legally binding target to cut EU countries' emissions by 90% by 2040, from 1990 levels. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Shocking but unsurprising to see two Labour MPs in front attempt to shout me down — for standing up for disabled people hit by cuts, kids pushed into poverty by the two-child benefit cap & pensioners who lost winter fuel payments. I know whose side I’m on. Can they say the same?

I see Honest Bob Jenrick has a new little video attacking barristers for representing unpopular clients. Once again for those at the back: Lawyers are not their clients. Which is how, when Jenrick broke the law in government, he had lawyers to defend him.

🇺🇦🗣️"I was told that the Russian delegation behaved a little calmer. But arrogance - well, what is it? We'll see. Maybe a few more measures need to be taken before they start behaving like decent people," — Zelensky

Farage's plans are unravelling...

"Of the £85m in reported private donations in 2023 alone, two-thirds came from just 19 mega-donors giving over a million pounds each." westcountryvoices.co.uk/standing-up-...

Senator Ossoff speaking the truth. We need real action

The British government's plan to significantly increase defence spending off the back of cuts to vital welfare for some of the most vulnerable people in our society is disgraceful, immoral and irresponsible.

The worse the economic news gets, the more and more foolish it is that Labour still maintain their bright red lines on Brexit. Undoing Brexit is the ONLY potential way to generate a strong economic boost. Random thin trade deals won't do it. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

This is Mertarvik, Alaska, population 300. It’s a new town. Its residents, the vast majority of whom are Yup’ik, began moving in around 2019. The move was by necessity: The nearby village where many residents previously lived, Newtok, is sinking, its riverbanks eroding. THREAD 🧵

And if you ask about this in focus groups etc people will say there is a lot of waste to cut that could mean more spending without taxes. Because politicians/papers have kept saying that for years.

This is a breakthrough: for the first time since WWII Germany has permanently deployed troops in another country. The brigade will consist of 4,800 German troops & 200 civilian staff and is stationed in Lithuania. I am glad that Germany is taking up its role as a powerful defender of a free Europe.

The new top voting lawyer at the Department of Justice was until recently an attorney and activist for a leading anti-voting legal group that has worked for years to spread fear about illegal voting and press election officials to tighten voting rules. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

UK right-wingers showing an increasing interest in anti-abortion rhetoric as US money starts to flood in - very interesting report from @petergeoghegan.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/democrac...

A video of aircraft flying over pyramids has been circulating with claims that it shows China transporting aid to Gaza through Egypt. But this is footage of a military exercise, not an aid delivery.

1/🧵 Abortion is still a crime in the UK. In 2025… Under a law from 1861, written before women could even vote. Women are being investigated, arrested and prosecuted for ending pregnancies. Far right Farage wants to drag us back even further. Here are the facts 👇🏼
