NEW: In the city where US troops are turning on US citizens, an uprising. This is LA right now. Thousands protesting against Trump, authoritarianism and fascism. “These numbers are absolutely overwhelming downtown Los Angeles.” - MSNBC #NoKings #50501Movement

I told you we’d be back

VIDEO: Here is the Regime treating a duly elected U.S. Senator like a farm animal because he had the temerity to ask questions of Kristi Noem. Fascism is here. The jackboot of Big Government is pressing down on all our faces, and the only question is what we do next.

Democratic US Senator Alex Padilla was shoved out of a room, forced to the ground and handcuffed by security after attempting to ask a question at a press conference by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem reut.rs/4l4iOev

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

Right. Let’s just bang on about Brian Wilson. This is what social media is for. Royal Festival Hall, Pet Sounds tour, 2002. He and the Wondermints launched into ‘God Only Knows’. I had a seat at the front of the side stalls. Leaned over the balcony and cried tears into the seats below.

"surf's up" is one of the greatest pop songs ever written

Love this thread 👇

‼️🇺🇦 Zelensky: It is important that the response to this is not the silence of the world, but concrete actions. Actions by USA, which has the power to force Russia to peace. The actions of Europe, which has no alternative but to be strong. Hard pressure is needed for peace.

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left? All the shifts are in just one direction. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Deserts are spreading across Britain, yet scarcely anyone in public life even seems to have noticed. This week's column seeks to open our eyes to something that has been too big to see. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This moves closer and closer to dead civilians on the streets.

Holding people to ransom. Thames Water bidders demand immunity over environmental crimes. TW has over 187 criminal convictions; allowed to negotiate fines, dump sewage in rivers, hike bills, underinvest. Immunities for TW will be demanded by others. End the circus. Let TW crash. Nationalise.

"Germany is pioneering agrivoltaics (also called agrophotovoltaics), a system where solar panels are installed above farmland, allowing crops to be cultivated below while simultaneously producing renewable energy. "

"Trump’s defence approach is alarming, siding with Putin in Ukraine and undermining NATO. "It’s a wakeup call for Europe and our Commonwealth allies." @EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk

Jon Stewart is a legend & the way this show is trying to explain to a mainstream audience the gravity what is happening in the US is amazing. It was both thrilling & terrifying to be part of it. Thank you @TheDailyShow 👏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG7C...

It'll take more than a hose down to clean up the water industry. We will continue to campaign to replace Ofwat and clean up our waterways for good.

Water industry in England & Wales needs ‘fundamental reset’, review finds. Pointless review - wasn't allowed to consider public ownership. Strengthening regulation is just a vacuous statement. Govt playing for time. Private sector can't save water industry. Govt needs to face reality.

⚡️🇺🇦 Ukraine has been invited to the NATO summit in The Hague, — Zelensky

Oops. Bannon said the thing about Michael Flynn out loud "they got rid of General Flynn, all of that to make sure we can never have any type of strategic dialogue with the Russians" @jim-stewartson.bsky.social www.mind-war.com/p/spiderweb-...

Brexiteer businessman and election-loser Aaron Banks with Reform UK chair Zia Yousuf in the Kent County Council offices today - supposedly as part of their 'DOGE' team to cut costs...by swooping in un-elected partisans from HQ (Thanks to the source who sent this in...keep them coming all)

🇨🇿 Czech FM Jan Lipavský welcomed Ukraine’s strikes on Russian airfields, saying it's in Europe’s security interest to have a strong, well-armed Ukraine. He added he now expects Russian strategic aircraft to violate NATO airspace “30% less.”

Since 2020 the UK's 20 biggest energy companies made operating profit of £514,038,259,000. Profiteering pushes millions into poverty. Hikes govt's energy bill, pushes up taxes. It makes steel, shipbuilding, engineering and other energy intensive industries difficult. OFGEM doesn't protect people

Palantir have 11 contracts spanning the NHS, the police, the Ministry of Defence, and the Cabinet Office. Alex Karp is CEO, Peter Thiel is Chairman and Director. Palantir tech is used by the IDF, with Karp expressing pride and support of Israel ‘in every way we can’ open.substack.com/pub/european...

A terrifying read about Palantir. Why is Wes Streeting pushing so hard for them to hold your private healthcare data? open.substack.com/pub/the307/p...

This is happening RIGHT NOW... Ukraine launching massive drone attack. I will be talking with Caolan (in Ukraine) on my TikTok LIVE in 10 mins about this. Join us there. Come find me on TikTok.

Last year, Russia imported 5.4 MILLION shipping containers. After today’s historic attack, every single one is a potential weapon that Putin is terrified of. Not only has Ukraine neutered Russia’s long-range air capability today, but they just crippled its supply chain & economy. Utter genius.

England could face water shortages within a decade. Since 1989 population, homes increased - 25 reservoirs sold off, no new ones, no desalination plants, 1 trillion liters of water a year lost to leaks. Companies borrowed to pay dividends. No forward planning. Disaster made by privatisation.

Whether it’s the end of the beginning, or the beginning of the end, it’s a decisive moment in the post-Brexit era writes Jenny Rhodes. 66% of people now want a closer relationship with EU, whereas only 14% of people don’t. It may be baby steps but there is progress & a new mood... Read why...

There are many common threads in this article about Britain that pertain to the path of the US. Great read!!! Please share.

Breaking News: A panel of federal judges blocked President Trump from imposing some tariffs, finding that he vastly overstepped his authority under federal law.

Last night, Russia unleashed ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones on a European capital. Today? The world barely blinks. Western media push it off the headlines, treating it as distant. But silence isn’t neutral — it enables aggression. Indifference has a price, and Ukraine pays it.

The silence from the White House about Russia’s deliberate campaign of killing Ukrainian civilians in the last few days may indicate that President Trump, having failed to bring an end to the war in 24 hours or his first 100 days, has now lost interest. Let’s hope this isn’t so…

Horrible footage from Markhalivka in the Fastiv district of Kyiv region, which was attacked by Russia last night. A whole street has been destroyed or badly damaged. 📹: TSN

Miliband in blistering attack on Farage’s UK net zero ‘nonsense and lies’. Well done Ed! Time to fight back against the anti-net-zero lies and propaganda coming from Reform and the Tories. We are still facing a global climate crisis. Nothing is more important. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A new UN Women report reveals that 90% of the 411 women's organizations surveyed worldwide have been affected by funding cuts, & almost half may close within six months due to significant funding cuts. www.reuters.com/world/fundin...

🧵 There’s a thread going around misrepresenting my work and Bellingcat’s education strategy. I want to use this as an opportunity to explain what we’re actually doing—and why it matters. This is about truth, democracy, and how we build a more resilient society. x.com/buynevich/st...

Day 10 of Lois asking Steve Reed to join her at the football. 5 days to match day!⚽ Steve could bring Thames Water into special administration. But he thinks he knows better. It's time he listened to us. Sign our petition if you think Thames Water belongs in public hands. #LoisvSteve

Interesting first-hand insight from an apostate into the internal culture of the newly professionalised Reform UK (Source: conservativehome.com/2025/05/08/m...)

Starmer is against restoring Freedom of Movement. Please repost if you want our Freedom of Movement restored. We were robbed of our right to live, work, study, and love in 30 countries by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

Buzz into action this #WorldBeeDay, 20 May! Bees are vital for pollination, food security & biodiversity. Let’s protect their habitats, plant bee-friendly flowers & say no to harmful pesticides. Every little action helps these tiny heroes thrive! #SaveTheBees #PollinatorsMatter

Presidents Zelenskyy and Macron, PMs Starmer and Tusk, Chancellor Merz are in the center of #Kyiv talking to the locals. #Ukraine
