Senator Bernie Sanders is going off about Donald Trump and Jared Kushner's proposed "Riviera" in Gaza: "There is a name and a term for forcibly expelling people from where they live. It is called 'ethnic cleansing.' It is illegal and it is a war crime." Thank you, Bernie!

Absolutely correct take by Tarik. It is quite insane that this is not a consensus position among liberal democrats.

Hi @octopus.energy! We know you care about the planet, so why are you helping Elon Musk fund climate deniers and fossil fuel junkies by promoting Tesla on your website? octopusev.com/cars/tesla-m... #TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla #StopMusk

The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work. The evidence it has published found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the gov’t to rethink

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

We have yet to receive adequate information from Homeland Security about the recent news of Minnesota students being detained by ICE. Snatching up students who come here legally to work hard and get an education does not make you tough on immigration. We need answers.

Not being allowed to hand water to people in line to vote no matter who they are voting for, while being allowed to hand people million dollar checks to get their vote, is the most American thing ever.

Talking about Trump talking about a “third term” isn’t talking about the future. Trump is starting the attack right now. And the attack is part of how he consolidates power right now. This isn’t “a conversation for later.” Once again, we’re watching a coup attempt, his second, in slow motion.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Pretty huge crowd protesting Musk and Trump on the side of the road across from a Tesla dealership in Schaumburg, IL, this morning — honestly could not believe I saw that many people turned out, especially in that relatively well-off area. The anger is real.

Fascism on the rise, domestic violence kills thousands of women, rape is effectively decriminalised, COVID corruption goes unpunished, hate crime and child sexual abuse are rampant. But the police, those faithful servants of capitalism, are arresting peaceful protestors against climate breakdown.

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

PM Starmer has pledged to increase the use of AI in public services, but a serious concern is whether his government fully understand how AI can perpetuate bias. Latest AI research shows when AI was used to scan chest x-rays for diseases it did not accurately detect it for Black people and women.

Friday, and I don't think I've recovered from finally, after 40 years in the thinking business, exhaustedly & genuinely replying to a question about Hannah Arendt: "I'm sorry, but I'm tired of being asked to explain the work of women through the men in their lives." Have a lovely weekend 💃
