"This is class war acting under the guise of culture war...it rips the heart out of your country, transfer wealth to those who are already obscenely rich, and leaves you waving your flag and bleating about sovereignty or transwomen in the bathroom" DOGE, Reform will do the same excellent this 👇

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Joe Haines, Press Secretary to Harold Wilson PM, died today aged 97. When Freddie Mercury died of AIDS in 1991 Haines described him as ‘sheer poison, a man bent - the apt word - on abnormal sexual pleasure, corrupt, corrupting and a drug taker.' Haines was part of a cruel, homophobic establishment.

Anyone who cares about nature: take note. The extreme right aren't just the enemy of women, the poor, people of colour, gays, moslems, jews, Palestinians, the disabled, etc., etc... they don't give a damn about the natural world, either. Our fights are one and the same.

More fields about to go at PZ? Although it'll have 'green infrastructure' the 140 houses won't do much for whatever lives in those woods. The Essex-based developers and Bristol architects promise 'affordable' housing numbers will be 'policy-complaint'. www.msn.com/en-gb/money/...

At first glance, a quintessentially beautiful Irish landscape. But in reality, it's a deadzone. The graveyard of a once species-rich Atlantic rainforest wonderland, smothered under sheep and, in the distance, sitka. We are, however, waking to just how much has been stolen from us.

Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves, have made a serious miscalculation in being solely focused on the pursuit of economic growth, when Donald Trump is going to make this absolutely impossible, with his tariffs and trade wars. Are they going to change tack now? Somehow, I don't think so.

A 🧵 on what aid cuts mean for HIV. HIV treatment saves lives. Currently 20 million people worldwide are on treatment funded by the President’s Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). That funding was halted by Presidential order and then given a reprieve for 90 days. Its future is uncertain. 1/10

It’s not the job of the BBC to edit anti-fascist comments www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02... The BBC edited out anti-Trump commentary at the BAFTAs. When art is not allowed free expression, evil walks in the door. What were they doing?

The ‘final’ evaluation report of the bus fare cap (covering 10 months of the £2 cap) is now out. Lots to digest here but key point is it did what it was meant to: “The evidence suggests… it has reduced the cost of living and has increased bus patronage, particularly for those on lower incomes.”

I’m telling you now; if the far right have their way, including the likes of Reform here in the UK, the LGBT+ community will be reduced to less than the sh*t on your shoe. For the first time in many years, I fear for our community, and what the future holds for us.

If you want to get a sense how Trump has so thoroughly trashed the reputation of the US right across the globe in just one month, here’s Singapore’s Minister of Defence Dr Ng Eng Hen speaking in Munich: “America's image has changed from liberator to great disruptor to a landlord seeking rent.”

The IRS was a simple test for DOGE: was it really interested in efficiency and state capacity? If so, you support the tax enforcement, the biggest ROI in govt. Or did it want to minimize parts of the state that bothered billionaires? We have our answer. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

So, here's another horseshit article. "Seriously, y'all. Focusing on fossil fuels is empirically not working. We have records.

One of many gigantic conflicts of interests for Musk: smaller NASA, greater reliance on SpaceX. Good thing that Musk gets to decide his own conflicts of interests!

Elon Musk is serving as Trump’s hatchetman, slashing government spending on everything from dying babies in warzones to Americans displaced by natural disasters. Meanwhile, Musk himself is a “walking conflict of interest,” whose companies are raking in more federal dollars.

I instantly dismiss anyone talking about #sustainability. Why? Because sustainability implies maintaining something. But we were never capable of self-imposing limits on population or consumption. That’s not how nature works. A short thread. 1/4 #overshoot #collapse

Today we live in a world that judges its achievements by speed..busyness. We are so busy making things happen that we have little time left to think about the value of what is happening. We urgently need people who concentrate on the meaning of life rather than simply the speed. PS.- JD. Chittister
