A poster with a colorful stack of books on the left and this text on the right: “Hey, Teenagers: Pay close attention to the books people try to ban. Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

Email your MP to demand no Palantir in our NHS Palantir faces scrutiny for human rights abuses as MPs debate its £330m NHS data contract on 16 April. Urge your MP: no Palantir in our NHS. Act now.

But we've since made our views known. And in just 4️⃣ DAYS, MPs will debate activating the break clause in Palantir's NHS contract.

Tell you MP to do the right thing 👇

What have I done to deserve this
Possibly others too

How the fuck is the president and Secretary of State at a UFC fight in Miami while war negotiations affecting the world economy are falling apart.

And I know that MFer isn’t going to try to play golf tomorrow too.

Words to live by

Trump is done. He needs to be removed from office. He’s compromised, unwell, and unfit. Call your Republican reps and tell them it’s time. He’s an albatross. Cut him loose.

Dear international friends,

Do not travel to the United States this summer for the World Cup. It isn't safe for us, and it's absolutely not safe for you.

Uruguay’s Renewable Charge: A Small Nation, A Big Lesson For The World Uruguay built a power grid that runs 99% on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. Here’s how its bold energy overhaul became a global model.

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

“When homophobic hate comes my way and says, ‘Why did you have to make it a gay story?’ We say, ‘Because you ask questions like that. It’s not a gay story it’s a love story, you asshole” —Nick Offerman, his response to people bitching about his character being gay in The Last of Us.

The head of Europe’s central bank just said financial markets don’t understand what they’re in for.

This is Christine Lagarde saying the damage is already done. Most people have absolutely no idea. Here is what she actually said.

Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz. That chokepoint carries 20%

Tonight on BBC Newsnight - these women share the horror of the sexual abuse Jeffrey Epstein subjected them to and the hugely damaging effect it’s had on every aspect of their lives

With the new Harry Potter trailer dropping today, now is a better time than ever to remind everyone that J. K. Rowling's name appears in the Epstein files where she calls Epstein "a very dear friend".

Some YA fantasy authors who to my knowledge have never funded an attempted trans genocide:

Terry Pratchett
Diana Wynne-Jones
Garth Nix
Suzanne Collins
Susan Cooper
Phillip Pullman
Rick Riordan
Pierce Brown
Sheri S. Tepper
V. E. Schwab
Rachel Hartman
Alex Pheby
Alan Garner
Ursula Le Guin

And more!

And because I've seen the comparison: This is not an H.P. Lovecraft situation of "separate the art from the artist."

Lovecraft is a century dead. He's not alive right now, trying to suppress records of his yacht visiting Epstein Island and swearing to make the lives of millions of ppl unlivable.

Google Search is now using AI to replace headlines Let us know if you see more.

this is completely insane: since when is it acceptable for a tech company to rewrite news outlets' headlines without their consent? especially at a time when audiences are sensitive to how stories are framed in headlines? (ie Israel/Palestine, the Trump admin, ICE)

Keep pushing this. The UK does not have constitutional review. The Supreme Court decision only applied to the Equalities Act 2010, yet Starmer’s Government chose to apply it to all UK law. This choice sent the UK from the top of the list of European countries that protect human rights to the bottom.

The IDF is a brutal occupying army currently committing genocide. Theres nothing wrong with chanting 'Death to the IDF'

And @owenjones.bsky.social is spot on, its not people chanting death to the IDF we should be prosecuting here in the UK. Its British people who've served in the IDF

As American's who support the Iran war this.

Which country do want to come to the US and bomb it to smithereens, to free America from the tyrant in DC who is sending armed troops to cities, beating up people, arresting them, holding them in squalid conditions, murdering them etc.

Which country?
