Kennedy is probably the most dangerous man in the government right now, but don’t take my word for it. Take it from @geauxgabrielle.bsky.social, an epidemiologist, writer and philanthropist who’s been sounding the alarm on how really bad things are really going to get.

I'll stick to opinions from experts without vested interests (eg shorturl.at/EuhPL: "We argue that continued growth of the aviation sector... is incompatible with preventing runaway climate change. The technology currently being developed by the aviation industry has zero chance of changing that")

The Labour government has armed Israel, supplied fighter jet parts and trained its forces. Now, David Lammy refuses to rule out further military support for this genocidal regime. How far will they go?

Captive-bred loggerhead shrikes from Ontario, intended to boost the vulnerable wild population, have developed bigger bodies and shorter, thicker legs than their wild-born cousins—but the culprit seems to be random genetic drift. #ornithology

‼️Take Bold Action for Birds NOW: We’re 400 signatures away from 10,000 calling on Congress to protect migratory birds. Up to 1 billion birds die each year from preventable causes. The MBTA has protected them for 100+ years — but it’s at risk. 🖊️Act now at this link: act.abcbirds.org/a/take-actio...

1/10 This Report is essential reading. You can dip into it anywhere & will be astounded at what is revealed - even if you suspected it. The analysis is superb. It should shame the BBC permanently. If it shocks you, stop giving them your money. A summary thread cfmm.org.uk/wp-content/u...

She doesn’t have the money to lift millions of Britons out of poverty but she’s happy to spend billions on a war protecting a state that started it. Stop arming Israel and see how big its balls are without the West’s backing. And let’s get Netanyahu et al in the dock for their war crimes.

Media propaganda in turbo mode this morning. These journalists are a million miles away from objectivity. We are simply told repeatedly that our free press is the best. They are telling us that a nation committing genocide, which has attacked yet another country, is again the victim…

Starmer is showing just how divorced from reality he is. His cuts to PIP will actually prevent more disabled people from working. This is a fundamentally disastrous policy which will harm people. Any decent Labour MP needs to oppose it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The FIFA Club World Cup. What a fucking joke. Infantino’s vanity project. These charlatans don’t care about player welfare, just their own egos and ££. Players need fewer, not more, games. Fans don’t want to see one-sided games. It’s not a competition, it’s a farce.

A rash can signal Lyme disease—but not always. 1 in 3 won’t get one. Don’t wait for a rash: watch for flu-like symptoms, joint pain, brain fog & more. Lyme can affect every system if left untreated. Know the signs. Act early. #LymeDiseaseUK #BeTickAware #LymeAwareness
