BREAKING: Trump removed MLK’s bust — a symbol of justice — and made room for Charlie Kirk, who openly trashes the Civil Rights Act. He’s a racist coward. Name me another reason. I’ll wait. meidasnews.com/news/trump-r...

The Iraq playbook is back & the media won’t question it. Iran has no nuclear weapons. Israel — on trial for genocide — does. Iran signed the NPT & allows IAEA inspections. Israel hasn’t — & its leaders face ICC arrest warrants. Beware of politicians beating the drums of war.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Donald Trump followed the authoritarian playbook this week. What can we do about it? On today's Coffee Klatch, we get some insight from Ezra Levin of Indivisible. https://youtu.be/8fOjNjPOEIU

Grenfell fire was caused by corporate greed; calls for unlimited fines, ban on public contracts. 72 people died, no one prosecuted. Corporations responsible for corruption, bribery, tax dodges, sewage dumping, energy price rip-offs. We can have strong democracy or corporations, not both.

To those who still somehow say you’re overreacting to say we are far past the point of historic crisis, go back to summer 2024 and say that in less than a year the president of the United States would be deploying the literal Marines on American soil to deal with and intimidate his political enemies

BREAKING: Marines — soldiers trained to kill — roll up on a Black man in LA for the high crime of minding his own business. Alone. Unarmed. Quiet. They think you’re the real threat. Our military is turning its weapons inward.

Thames Water is now controlled by two US credit powerhouses: Silver Point Capital and Elliott Management. Their game - asset stripping, profiteering, slick PR, devour; to get high returns. Govt can put an end by bringing water into public ownership, but refuses. People's misery to deepen.

Reform UK can’t catch a break. In just six weeks, the party has somehow managed to lose nine of its newly elected councillors. How many more will it lose to incompetence, infighting and shoddy vetting? Read our newest blog: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/06/13/d...

I don't understand the critique of "the Madleen was an attention seeking stunt". Yes, and? It was a stunt to draw attention to Israel deliberately starving an entire people, facilitated by the West. That was literally the entire point

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

I challenged the govt on two fatal flaws in the Planning & Infrastructure Bill: it contains no social housing target, so it won’t deliver the affordable homes communities desperately need, and it weakens nature protections, further enriching big property developers at the environment's expense.

Just voted against the government's Planning and Infrastructure Bill after they rejected our efforts to bring in measures to build social housing. Sadly, this Bill is a charter for greed, giving developers carte blanche to line their pockets building luxury homes for the rich that most can't afford

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Surprise surprise – the myth of the “millionaire exodus” has been conclusively debunked as misinformation spread by those who don’t want to see wealth taxed fairly (because they’ve got a lot of it!) Time for the govt to stop hiding behind this excuse and bring in a wealth tax

The government's Planning and Infrastructure bill is a charter for greed that allows developers to pay cash to trash nature. Disappointing to see the minister misleadingly quote @rspb.bsky.social's Becky Speight when she's been clear about the huge risks of this bill.

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house." The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

Every person aboard the Madleen is a hero. The genocidal Israeli state's attack on unarmed activists aboard a UK-flagged vessel delivering aid to Gaza is a flagrant breach of international law. The UK must sanction Israel, end all arms & surveillance, & expel its ambassador.
