We built Jikipedia, a new wiki that compiles Jmail data into exhaustive reports on key figures in the Epstein scandal. It lists all recorded visits to Epstein's estates, each person's possible knowledge of Epstein's crimes and laws that they may have violated.

More than 150 countries including China, India and European Union members have signed off on a report that warns focusing on unchecked economic growth is contributing to the destruction of global biodiversity.

"If Mandelson's links to Jeffrey Epstein disqualifies him from holding power, why does the company controlled by Epstein's business partner and co-owner retain access to the UK's most sensitive national security infrastructure?" Peter Thiel. Jeffrey Epstein. Palantir. The UK Government.

The Russian connected convicted sex trafficker co-owned a fund with Peter Thiel, now embedded in Britain’s most critical infrastructure with the help of Peter Mandelson

1. In 2009 I wrote this. I argued that Peter Mandelson's department “functions as a fifth column within government, working for corporations to undermine democracy and the public interest.” This thread explains what I saw, and reaches a startling conclusion.🧵 www.monbiot.com/2009/05/04/m...

Mandelson’s Fifth Column

The British government’s business department exists to undermine democracy.

10. Mandelson's betrayal was institutional. It was not a bug but a feature of the New Labour government. And it has been a feature of every government since.

"We're facing the potential of an ungovernable state unless Government takes this seriously." We can rise to this challenge, but first we need to face it. 👉 Please ask your MP to join the Parliamentary Call for a televised emergency briefing to the nation. www.nebriefing.org/parliamentar...

“Donald Trump probably won’t leave in 2028.” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social discusses how the UK can’t afford to be complacent given its historical tendency to follow trends in American politics, where democracy is currently under threat.

It's not fashionable to talk about consuming less as a climate solution because our economy is based on selling us crap that no one needs.

And we're only scratching the surface of species interactions, even for familiar European species. E.g. Who knew that ants use the heat in Wood Warbler nests to rear their own young? www.nature.com/articles/s41... Or that bison create nest sites for Marsh Tits & flycatchers? doi.org/10.3161/0001...

A healthy ecosystem requires a wide range of species interactions Focussing only on, eg, pollination or predation, will not hep ecosystem-level conservation

Left or right, elites stand with elites. The only party that can change anything must be anti-elite. Take non of their money, listen to non of their ‘media’, take seriously non of their think tank ‘research’.

What's the outcome that terrifies Labour most in the Gorton by-election? Reform winning? Nope. It's the Greens they're most worried about. They'd prefer Reform to win, rather than the Greens.

A rich rainforest flora in 'downtown' Skibbereen, the capital of West Cork. Its existence just goes to show how prevalent this habitat must once have been.

The goal of nonviolent civil resistance is not to convince the regime they're wrong. The goal of nonviolent civil resistance is to convince the people to work together to make it impossible for the regime to sustain itself. We aren't nonviolent for the regime. We're nonviolent for each other.

Lesson #20: Be as courageous as you can. If none of us is prepared to die for freedom, then all of us will die under tyranny.

📣📣📣 A major warning has finally surfaced... The UK government quietly published a shortened intelligence report revealing that global ecosystem collapse is now a direct threat to our national security. Read more, by Rupert Read.

A suppressed warning finally appears: ecosystem collapse as a national security threat

A government report on the national security implications of ecosystem collapse is finally out, and it’s even more shocking than feared

"The world is awash with weapons; enough firearms to arm one in every seven human beings on the planet. As the Earth's ability to support the huge numbers of people alive today dwindles, we will not die peacefully in our sleep." wakeupfreakout.org

The report focused on important ecosystems is other parts of the world but did not mention the UK being one of the most nature depleted countries on Earth. One of the main reasons why the UK depends on food imports is that most of our farmland is used for cattle and sheep.

Starmer dreams of AI superpower status, while our ever-distracted media offers hot-and-cold running updates on the Beckhams alongside 24/7 Trumpvision. Yet the UK is lurching into a future that ... is both more alarming and remarkable: a country famous ... for its rain imposing on itself a drought.

Nearly 400 millionaires and billionaires have signed a letter calling for increased taxes on the super-rich. Extreme wealth means extreme power - over our politics, our media, and our lives. When even the super-rich know it's time to tax them more, will Labour finally listen?

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

All those who wrongly believe that nature collapse might be 'sad', but won't really affect them in any way, badly need to wake up. Nature isn't just 'nice to have'. Planet Earth is only liveable – for *us* too – due to the regulating effects of natural ecosystems. share.google/NoVLRatfUoH5...
