Tell The Government: Strengthen UK-EU Environmental Cooperation Climate change and environmental problems don't respect borders. The UK and EU must work together to protect our shared environment, tackle the climate crisis, and preserve biodiversity for future gen...

I just signed this petition calling for better cooperation with the EU on the environment. Will you add your name, too? www.europeanmovement.co.uk/uk-eu-enviro...

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual

PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

Tax Evasion a problem 360x worse than Benefit Fraud.

New documents show Cuomo administration resistance to EPA warnings on Hoosick Falls Gov. Cuomo, second from right, along with members of his administration, is briefed by local officials on the situation in Hoosick Falls. | Office of the Governor of New York By SCOTT WALDMAN 06/02/2016 05:34 AM EDT

The Cuomo administration resisted sounding a public alarm even though federal regulators warned senior health department officials that people in Hoosick Falls should be alerted they were drinking water that contained dangerous levels of a chemical linked to cancer and other serious health problems, according to documents recently obtained by POLITICO New York through a Freedom of Information Request.

an Andrew Cuomo scandal many seem to have forgotten about:

as governor, Cuomo told the people of upstate NY town Hoosick Falls that their water was safe to drink…

…while the Obama admin was warning Cuomo that their water was polluted with cancer-causing chemicals

In case it wasn’t already obvious.

Reform UK is proposing a "Britannia card" that would let wealthy foreigners pay a £250k fee to move to the UK, and live here exempt from all tax on their foreign assets

What they don't say: it would cost the UK £34bn

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

My colleague laying it plain.

Thanks @senangusking.bsky.social

Still true:
*Britain is a success story
*Most of its cities are doing astonishingly well
*Multiculturalism is popular
*Mass immigration has not led to social disintegration
*Nostalgia is increasingly weird
*Britain is incredibly safe
*Levels of social cohesion are high
Don't let them gaslight you.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.

ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Women are lagging behind on AI but they can catch up Curiosity, experimentation and learning are crucial if women are to shape the future of work

Counterpoint: Women are ahead of the curve on knowing AI is bullshit.

There may come a day when the BBC puts on air one of the other 29,999 headteachers currently estimated to be working in UK schools, but that day is not today

Feels like quite a few people have been waiting their whole lives for the moment when being openly racist in print is no longer career ending and are determined to make the most of it.

17 sick and 3 dead from a food borne illness. Meanwhile we’ve cut funding, staffing, and protections at FDA, USDA, and CDC. Chicken fettuccine Alfredo meals sold at Kroger and Walmart recalled

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

So are we ready to acknowledge that we live under a dictatorship of capital yet or are we still gonna keep pretending any of this democracy shit is real.

When I needed a hysterectomy due to severe endometriosis & adenomyosis, I was repeatedly denied

Told I “might want kids.”
Told I “might meet a man who wants kids”

I was left disabled & bed ridden, yet the system continued to try & save my diseased uterus against my will 🧵

I say again: men are clearly too emotional to be in leadership.

Of course asking someone what genitals they had at birth is a breach of the right to privacy. They’re called “private parts” not “private unless you suspect the person is transgender and then be as invasive as you want parts”

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

Another example of how it’s never been a question of money, but one of power. Labour insists on portraying itself as ‘tough’ and the only version of ‘tough’ they know is rightwing. They could be ‘tough’ on billionaires, on greedy Big Tech companies etc

But no, gotta be tough on those asylum seekers

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

The number of fucking times “there’s a carve-out for medical use” has been thrown at me by ableds trying to justify mask bans….

We literally fucking told you REPEATEDLY that was bullshit.

And now we’re watching medical maskers get arrested. EXACTLY WHAT WE TOLD YOU WOULD HAPPEN.

FYI, this is Tia-Clair Toomey, who has won the CrossFit World Championships more times than anyone, and she won twice I think AFTER having her daughter. Her husband is her coach and they’re SO CUTE together.

How many times did we fucking tell you. You gave up on wearing masks. You let them demonize masks. So they got to write the rules. And the rules are cops “discretion” is that disabled people should be arrested. Because when ableds get to decide who is actually disabled, we lose. Every time.
