Aside from war and civil unrest I’ve just read how Trump is to rescind protections that ban logging on nearly a third of national forest lands ☹️

Amid the threats of retribution from Iran following the U.S. military strike on three Iranian nuclear sites, critics have ramped up their scrutiny of the 22-year-old who was assigned to a major terrorism-prevention post by President Donald Trump. www.mediaite.com/media/news/c...

Several of our leaders are questioning Trump’s act against Iran - Lib Dem leader, Green leader, Green leadership hopeful & Plaid Cymru leader. As Starmer The Tories & Farage stand by the USA, we need to hear these opposition voices. Sign our petition. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Nine years ago the godfather of Brexit, Lord Daniel Hannan, predicted life in Brexit Britain in June 2025. Roll the tape… (VO by @gavinesler.bsky.social. Part 2 below👇)

These spiders team up with bacteria to feed on CH4 (methane) which in the end helps control climate. Also microbiome inheritance Amazing stuff Read all about it www.mynbc5.com/article/meth...

Important clarification- I've had emails from constituents saying that I had legalised abortion up to birth (which isn't true)

This is not in the least bit surprising. And remember these are the people that get caught!

Is Sergio Gor, a senior White House official, actually a Russian called Sergey Anatolyevich Goryachev? As crazy as this sounds, it might be true. www.linkedin.com/posts/bkrebs...

Trump administration to shut down LGBTQ youth suicide hotline

DOUBLE TROUBLE FOR THE MINK HUNTERS Hunt saboteurs were out in force last weekend, stepping up the campaign against the illegal summer bloodsport of mink hunting. www.huntsabs.org.uk/double-troub...

All set to go to Haverfordwest to judicial review Pembs Coastal National Park decision to approve adventure hub that could impact the wildlife at Ceibwr Bay. All best wishes to @wildjustice.bsky.social & their legal team for the right outcome Let’s speak up for wildlife with @cadwceibwr.bsky.social

In the heart of a European capital, firefighters pull bodies from the rubble of a building that collapsed after being bombed by a member of the UN Security Council.

The news from across the UK over the last month has mainly coalesced on two topics – the mounting volume of hunting-related convictions and the number of hunt mergers. www.huntsabs.org.uk/may-2025-rev...

It’s utterly tragic to hear of the loss of innocent lives in Israel and Iran. Human beings just like us who have nothing to do with this war between an authoritarian brutal regime and a leader of a far right govt facing corruption charges and accused of genocide. Both benefiting from a bloody war.

My "American Week" for @tomswarbrick.bsky.social's programme on @lbc.co.uk. This week: Trump embraces the police state. Listen live every Friday on LBC at 5:50pm or find it here on demand afterwards. 🎧: audioboom.com/posts/873500...

Trump wants to rule like a king. And Republicans? They’re helping him—by sneaking dangerous provisions in their megabill. In America, we have no kings. We have the rule of law.

Tragically, the outrageous assault of Sen. Padilla today is becoming normal behavior for a Trump administration which is moving us toward authoritarianism. The American people do not like petty tyrants. We defeated King George in 1776. We will defeat King Donald.

FIRST ON MSNBC: "It's all BS coming from Trump." Sen. Padilla gets emotional talking about the treatment of immigrants from the Trump administration hours after being forcibly removed from a DHS press conference.

This is a United States senator being pushed to the ground and handcuffed in the hallway of a federal office building.

"At least one Republican senator is bothered enough by the whole thing that he made his criticisms public, suggesting Saturday’s event could give the impression that the current administration is seeking to emulate anti-American autocratic regimes." Check out Press Pass from @JoePerticone now

It bears emphasizing over and over again: None of this is designed to satisfy any mass public hunger to wage war against vaccines. No such mass hunger exists.

Reports that Northern Gaza and parts of the strip are without internet preventing aid efforts, any reporting and all comms. The main internet line has reportedly been bombed.

Look out Donald, an actual billionaire is now out to get you.

Why another protest? What is it going to accomplish? Shouldn’t we be [insert alternate tactic] instead? These are good-faith questions, and they stem from very reasonable concerns. So let’s take a step back and talk about the role of a peaceful mass mobilization like No Kings.

I might have reached my investigative limit. Have been very lucky so far though. If you are reading this, please, share it. All of this is public, but no one put together. This is how Reform, Farage, Cottrell, Towler and Harborne all come together.

Newsom: "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Father's historic project."

While Trump wastes millions on a military parade in DC, we're mobilizing everywhere else to show that organized people power is stronger than his authoritarian aspirations. app.sosha.ai/s/OcFTg35Z

"Every government lies now and then, but authoritarian regimes go further. They don’t just stretch or hide the truth. They look you in the eye and tell you that what you just saw didn’t happen." ICYMI, propaganda is now part of our politics.

Fascism

Local councils taken over by Reform have so far cancelled or postponed 33 meetings. If you're going to make cutting waste your big thing, maybe don't start by showing what a bunch of disorganised, work-shy fuckwits you are.

HUNT SABS ESK-ALATE THEIR CAMPAIGN AGAINST MINK HUNTING! Last Saturday the 7th June, the Northern Counties Mink Hounds were caught hunting on the River Esk near Glaisdale on the edge of the North York Moors. www.huntsabs.org.uk/hunt-sabs-es...

I asked a BBC spokesperson to set out any examples of the corporation drawing up specific plans to secure the support of voters for other political parties in the UK, but they were unable to do so bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...
