Energy insecurity. Higher bills. Exposure to catastrophic economic consequences of Trump's wars.

That's what happens when you fail to shift fast enough to renewables, and cut back on support for clean energy.

Let's cut bills & create jobs through a clean power revolution.

I am greatly encouraged that Lars Lokke Rasmussen - Denmark's foreign minister - looks like the sort of chap who could avert a schism in the international order.

Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi.

But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile.

Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open.

Cretin behavior.

RIP Jamal. You deserved better.

Glad that someone has finally taken responsibility for the appalling assault on democracy that was the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Slightly confused that it's the Director-General of the BBC, but what do I know?

The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship

So why does the BBC label the academic and economist Faiza Shaheen an "activist" but refuse to do the same for the former academic, turned anti-migrant activist Matt Goodwin?

Must read interview with writers of Netflix’s A House of Dynamite. The true horror is not who controls the nuclear weapons (dodgy presidents, unstable states, AI) but the nuclear weapons themselves. Obviously. #AHouseOfDynamite @cnduk.bsky.social

Today, while Donald Trump dined at Windsor castle, thousands of us turned out to reject a politics of hatred, division and fear.

We had a message to him and our own government: stop appeasing the far-right, stop arming Israel, and start promoting peace and equality instead.

More than 900 Labour figures decry party’s migration and asylum policy Joint statement accuses government of copying Tories’ ‘performative cruelty’

"Anti-migrant politics will not build a single house, staff a single hospital or raise anyone’s wages. Instead, by echoing its rhetoric, the government is simply fuelling the rise of Reform UK"

Well done to these Labour MPs, trade unionists, and members. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It's not a demolition site it's a mass grave. It's not a demolition site it's a crime scene. It's not a demolition site its a homeland. It's not a demolition site it's Palestine. It's not a demolition site it's a genocide.

Today, I am thinking of all those who have been reunited with friends and family.

I am thinking of the thousands of children in Gaza who have been killed or orphaned, with nobody or no home to return to. [1/2]
