Why? Just why? democracyforsale.substack.com/p/labour-mp-...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

You know all that anti vax stuff etc.....maybe the problem is just staring us in the face ... but so many want a different answer, just because.... A big subject that needs to be scienced as we experiment on ourselves and the environment ....yet again!

Anybody still unsure if the Urban Heat Island effect is distorting the temperature record?

Zach tells it like it is! Tory austerity was a disaster for Britain. Labour austerity will be equally bad. The Govt's inability to learn from history, or grasp how economics works, is quite shocking. They're locked in a doom loop of their own creation. What a sad end to a once great party...

Fan fucking tastic

The common theme for all the right wing, "free speech", autocratic tendency bullies seems to be paranoia, and they are each at the centre and target of these conspiracies Putin Trump Tate et al... www.theguardian.com/news/2025/fe...

Not only prosperity...but power....

How easily could a British version of Trump capture or destroy the BBC? Our panel discusses how to autocrat-proof the Beeb mediaconfidential.lnk.to/podcastAh

Ukraine did not invade itself!

The Faragade of Democracy! Farage has posted about his admiration of Trump and Putin, presumably that would also include their democratic norms and ability to ignore the rules (norms not really rules in UK). Wonder how committed to PropRep Reform would be if they actually attained power?

Just to remind people that tomorrow is the 3rd anniversary of Putin’s unlawful invasion of Ukraine. His planned 3 day “special operation” is still being slogged out, costing Russia about 1 million men (dead and injured) courtesy of Ukrainian courage. Be there if you can to support them 🙏

This is also the logical conclusion of decades now of slow mainstreaming of far-right talking points Islamophobia, transphobia, anti-immigration discourses were never "legitimate grievances" that deserved to be aired. Their purpose was to prepare the way for this

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

Good News...despite all else

👏👏👏👏👏

Trump official stops lying....by cancelling press conference

Bullie Bully we can all see who needs to wind their necks in....and it is not Ukraine www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Fiddling while the ice melts! www.science.org/content/arti...

Some international conflicts are complicated, with competing historical claims. This one is not (unless you are Glenn Greenwald). A dictator engaged in a war of conquest, invading a democratic neighbor. Not recognizing these basic facts is to side with the aggressor.

Just as Nero fiddled as Rome burned... We now have Trump and the US messing with US science establishment as the planet ......
