This website - run by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - monitors CO2 levels, Ozone and other climate data. It's now been wiped by Trump's trolls. A government of billionaires, funded by big polluters, is scrubbing the scientific evidence of the consequences of their actions.

I was just told by one of our family friends that a family member that was a career FBI agent was fired yesterday since she had worked on January 6th investigation. Absolutely devastating to the family and our nation. I'm sure criminals, terrorists and Russia, China and North Korea are thrilled.

When Fines are not Fines. On 6 August 2024, Ofwat announced fines totalling £168m on three water companies – Thames Water £104m; Yorkshire Water £47m; Northumbrian Water, £17m. Not a penny has been paid. Companies with 400 criminal convictions are allowed to negotiate what and when they will pay.

There is no automatic reversion to "normal" in politics. Nor will the timid business-as-usual which got us into this mess get us out of it. We'll achieve a better society after Trump and similar tyrants only through massive and focused movement-building. It has to start right now.

Update: the letter I received from my MP this morning tells me she will not support the climate and nature bill. This is because the last government already made ‘remarkable’ progress which is somewhat delusional and -on firmer footing? - it would compromise the CCC’s autonomous role. Anyone else?

So, Tories finally admit they left the EU with no plan “for growth”. They also had no plan for trade, science, the arts, business, jobs, training, education, travel, farming, fishing, borders, immigration, healthcare, regulations, food security… for ANYTHING… A catastrophe of prejudiced uselessness.
