I see new climate collapse videos every day, of some previously once-in-a-lifetime extreme weather event and I already know who’s prepared to protect communities. People who’d risk absolutely anyone’s life rather than wear a mask in a supermarket, are prepared to climb over bodies and nothing more.

Delighted when people can pay for therapy using PIP and leave the mental health system but this isn’t possible for all of us. Many of us need medication careco etc or have trauma histories such that a dyadic therapy relationship without the ‘third’ of a team would be impossible.

If you're struggling to understand how eugenics impacts daily life right now, I recommend going back to the historical records to see how the eugenics movement took off 100 years ago. We need to be able to recognize it when we see it, so that we can push back and resist. 1/20

Billboard for Luigi Mangione goes up in New York before his upcoming court appearance.

Recipe for a perfect afternoon: - 1 deep, comfy armchair - 2-4 cups of earl grey - A box full of old photos

From the archives. Taken on a magical day on the Saltees Co. Wexford. I have yet to come across a wild bird less intimidated by human presence.

Sir James Munby, former head of the Family Division of the High Court, has given his opinion on the supposedly improved Assisted Suicide Bill. His view: "it still falls lamentably short of providing adequate safeguards". transparencyproject.org.uk/assisted-dyi...

It is so distressing that this needs explaining.

A current Guardian journalist told Declassified: “It’s no secret that the coverage of the international and foreign desk of the Guardian follows the line of the British establishment.” 👉 Pro-Israel bias inside UK newsrooms revealed by Hamza Yusuf www.declassifieduk.org/battle-for-t...

Years of evidence shows clearly how a “violent” culture that developed within the Department for Work and Pensions over three decades was responsible for countless deaths of disabled benefit claimants, despite a minister’s claims last week in parliament.

And another triple #FoxOfTheDay upon a shed roof , this time shared by @biodiversityfan . What a sight !

A journalist at Sky News told Declassified there are a whole set of unwritten journalistic rules that apply exclusively to Israel -- “The Israeli narrative always reigned supreme and instructed the coverage at Sky News, no matter how inaccurate”. www.declassifieduk.org/battle-for-t...

A former BBC journalist told Declassified that at the BBC -- “The use of the word genocide is effectively banned, and any contributor who uses this word is immediately shut down.” www.declassifieduk.org/battle-for-t...

Increasing your Water Bills 44% ABOVE inflation in the next 5 years isn't enough for the Water Companies, they have appealed to Ofwat to let them increase them up to 83% ABOVE inflation. Like if they can get stuffed. RT if we should nationalise the lot.

Covid Timeline vs Trump spin: 110 dates to remember A short aide memoire and reference for the next four years to help you withstand the torrent of disinformation headed our way. www.annachen.co.uk/2025/02/19/c...

Its worth pausing and looking at Trumps claims about Ukraine with this fact checker- top line every statement he made was FALSE

Exciting new paper on pancreatic cancer-1 of the most dangerous cancers as often not detected or symptomatic until it’s advanced. Enzymes called proteases active early in cancer so researchers developed magnetic nanosensors to attract & detect proteases in blood. Starting clinical trials soon! 🧪

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

Trump rode to political prominence on birtherism and spent the last month of his campaign claiming that Haitians were eating cats. The rise of authoritarianism in America *must* be understood as a misinformation crisis.

Listen to disabled people. Learn from history. Understand that eugenicists (and fascists) want to rid the world of disabled people. When you make fun of us, when you make spaces less safe for us, you’re doing their dirty work for them

Sick of hearing people in the UK saying they believe assisted dying would be a good idea. Take a look at how it's going over the pond. It's not like we can't predict just how shit it would be under this shower of red tories.

“horror stories Canada’s MAiD, Paralympian who was offered it by a govt employee when she asked for wheelchair ramp, disabled woman who could not secure adequate housing, cancer patient who could not access chemotherapy in time, have become so commonplace that they have blunted our sense of decency”

The last* person to declare themselves King was Idi Amin. He seemed* nice. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idi_Amin

Also, and uncomfortably, many doctors *did* know what would happen to the people under their care because the nazi party spent a lot of energy integrating the medical association doctors into their views. Some were confused but not that many...

I've been using co2 monitors since I learned about them in 2021. Always thought it would catch on. Would still love to see more general attention / awareness of air quality and the tools available to assess it. People rarely understand what the heck it is I'm doing with it & why.

Missouri bill seeks to make lists of women who are high risk of having an abortion They’re criminalizing pregnancy & tracking what women may or may not do with their bodies Stop using period trackers. Don’t discuss your cycle with anyone you don’t need to. Don’t give ANY info if you can avoid it

"Retaining a fellow [Musk] whose actions contradict the ethical principles that the Royal Society purports to hold is tantamount to tacit approval and runs the risk of eroding public confidence in the Society’s commitment to its own standards." substack.com/home/post/p-...

COVID is not just a respiratory virus. It’s not a cold. It’s not “mild”. It’s a multi system vascular virus that can do damage throughout your body. The more we learn about what it does to the heart, the more convinced we should be to mask up.
