🚨 Now CCN-official 🚨 Trump issues stop-work-order to NASA chief scientist #KateCalvin, who is also co-chair of the IPCC's working group in charge of the next assessment on climate change mitigation. This is brutal, on so many levels. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/21/c...

OK, my misunderstanding. Maybe those orgs need to be vocal about what they do?

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

1/ Starmer is right that the real threat is Reform. But he is utterly wrong to think that aping their obsession with immigration will defeat them. The Tories tried this tactic. Look where it got them. It reinforces Farage's message and therefore his support. www.independent.co.uk/voices/keir-...

It's great news that the Labour government is FINALLY considering a #YouthMobilityScheme in consultation with the EU. Lewes MP James MacCleary wrote about his bill in @sussexbylines.co.uk a week ago - maybe that helped? sussexbylines.co.uk/world/europe...

"He parades as a strongman, but in fact he’s weak, weak, weak. In the face of America’s adversaries Donald Trump is, as he might put it, a patsy, a sucker, a pushover. He folds like a pack of cards. He’s a human doormat. A loser." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #r4today

So, Farage struts around on stage in the US, slagging off the UK and the EU, blaming anything but Brexit for us being poorer and unhappier and crawling up Trump’s backside… What a repulsive spectacle he is. If you actually could be put in prison here for ‘saying anything’ he’d be my top pick.

Everybody in the USA or UK who who is not MAGA or Reform & who still have the capacity for critical thinking should watch video & pass on to as many people as possible.Tan Smith is a very brave woman who constantly speaks truth to power & does not ignore the slide into fascism. Don’t ignore 💗🤷‍♀️

The weather is warmer and damp tonight, so frogs may decide conditions are right to migrate to their breeding ponds. Perhaps even the rare northern pool frog, once extinct but now reintroduced to Norfolk. Please care if driving in the dark… 🐸

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

A flaw in Ofgem’s regulation of the energy sector, based on estimates of costs from 2021 to 2028, has meant that households were forced to pay billions in undeserved profits to companies during the cost of living crisis while racking up record levels of debt, according to Citizens Advice

Just in case people have forgotten, Trump has an abiding hatred of Zelensky for refusing to pursue Biden and his son, Hunter in an investigation Trump wanted opened in Ukraine, as he thought it would help Trump’s 2020 Presidential run. What you see now is spite

Why would we want to play any role in a process that has nothing to do with peace and everything to do with the oppression of a brave democracy? We’re not that daft!

Here's Putin tool Trump with Brexiters Farage, Raheem Kassam, and Arron Banks. And here's Kassam boasting about Russia defeating Ukraine in half a day, and Farage and Arron Banks parroting pro-Russian propaganda lies. Brexit was the result of a successful Russian influence operation.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Please try to come to the solidarity with Ukraine protest in London on Saturday, 22 February. Ukraine is standing in the frontline of the struggle to defend democracy. It's time to join Ukraine and stand against Putin, Trump, and Musk's project of fascist domination.
