Please share this fact sheet on Ukraine with anyone who needs it understandingwar.org/backgrounder...

So we've reached the point where the US is bribing a country that has been invaded by Russia.

Dark Pence is back.

whoever plans visits politicians make to places like hospitals need to have a word with themselves. Why does PM have to be shown in shirt sleeves as though he's working, and why conduct interview in scanning room? Poor optics. Can't scan with you guys in the room.

This is good.

Watching Cities: Nature's New Wild and feeling horribly depressed about the improvements in habitat and nature conservancy in the USA. Can only see the current administration reversing the process.

Pretty much sums it up

With the accelerating threat of H5N1 making the leap to a human pandemic, watching the US allow two maniacs to completely dismantle public health is quite something.

Scotland introducing abortion buffer zones was a good thing and if you ever doubt that just remember that it upset JD Vance. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2493749...

July 2024: Five UK climate protesters jailed for conspiracy to block major road February 2025:

Hello February!

and is it good or bad that very few people seem to be aware of it and/or care

God, I love @privateeyenews.bsky.social

If only corporate manslaughter "which enables a corporation to be punished and censured for culpable conduct that leads to a person's death" extended to governments and their ministers meme via Peter Jenkins

No more Holocaust Remembrance Day, MLK Day or Juneteenth for federal government.

Well, that Jan 6th pardon went well for him. “A Jasper County sheriff's deputy fatally shot 42-year-old Matthew W. Huttle during a traffic stop in northwest Indiana on Sunday after an altercation in which Huttle reportedly resisted arrest and was armed.”

@mrjamesob.bsky.social remarkable totally understates today's show. Having been through counselling /therapy & coming to recent realisation that I need to return, incredible to find callers in last hour have opened up more realisation in my head. What a piece of radio. As for the first 2 hours...

On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, everything that led to the Holocaust is in danger of being forgotten. The Nazis channeled the demands of oligarchs, scapegoated minorities and replaced democracy with a new imperium. Those politics are returning. #NeverForget #NeverAgain

This article from 1941 and Laurence Rees's new book, The Nazi Mind, are essential reading today.

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people. Sound efficient? HT @ellenmacarthurfdn.bsky.social

The truth of January 6th can't be erased. Watch the pardoned criminals brutally attacking police inside the Capitol and see what some call 'patriotism.' No spin, just facts. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/revisiting...

#traitors am I missing something? A traitor wouldn't vote for the game to continue

The people who like two months ago were shouting about Christians being canceled for their religious beliefs are now trying to cancel a bishop for expressing her religious belief that the world's most powerful leader should show empathy and mercy to the vulnerable.

How right-wing media and Republican leaders turned a bishop's prayer into a campaign of intimidation www.readtpa.com/p/the-price-...

Remarkable courage.

If you can watch her entire address. At one point, while she’s asking them to protect the vulnerable, they sit giggling. It’s repulsive. Hope you’re watching this evangelical Trump voters.

Watching the black comedy of the BBC presidential coverage and then they bring on Piers Morgan. Tipped me over the edge to change channel
