We are deciding whether we want to be a country of ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.
Indivisible ❌👑@indivisible.org · 3d agoBREAKING — Another person died at Delaney Hall. The family of Edwin Lopez Cornejo (age 39) said he was not receiving the medications required to treat his diabetes, and blames his death on the lack of medical care (via USA Today). www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
The picture on the front of Reform's policy is of HMS Ocean on the River Thames in 2012. It was sold by to the Brazilian navy in 2018. Turns out you can judge a book by its cover.
Since 2021, the 10 largest private water companies in the UK have hiked up their bills by an average of 56% while spilling sewage more than 1.8 million times 💰💩 Find out what the sewage scandal has cost you – and send Andy Burnham a message 👇 https://goodlaw.social/4rcc
The Met Police arrested people for all sorts of ludicrous reasons, including putting down a tiny stand so that people sharing poetry and song could be heard. No amplification was used at all. One muslim woman was arrested for simply greeting the crowd. She said nothing unlawful.
Epstein files aren't worth seeing or discussing, but Fauci's personal diary...? THERE's our new distraction. I'd listen to this remarkable woman.
A thread on how heroes like Dr. Anthony Fauci make Trump and the Republicans look like criminals by comparison. That's why they tried to destroy his good name. That's the story.
The UK is on fire. Reform UK is still arguing against the existence of man-made climate change. Make it make sense.
The police have lost the support of the public. The courts are overwhelmed and unable to cope. Prosecutors are signing papers through gritted teeth. The Attorney General can’t sign forms quickly enough. @AndyBurnham - Lift The Ban on Palestine Action. Now. We do not comply.
HERE’S WHAT REALLY HAPPENED The Met Police are desperate to save face following their unjustified attack on peaceful protesters yesterday. 152 people were arrested outside Westminster Magistrates Court, most of whom had a court listing in their name for a “terrorism” charge.
I think we need to actually restate how wild it is how much anti trans activism there is, and the extreme degree. We're getting two high court decisions on trans rights today alone that have huge consequences for trans people's lives (strip searching and puberty blockers). In one DAY
I cannot emphasize enough times to enough people that Zohran Mamdani was asked approximately 106,437,592,841 times in 2025 if he thought Israel has "the right to exist", to which he replied "yes, with equal rights for all" and all 106,437,592,841 times the people who asked took that as a "no".
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 7d agoAbdul was asked the does Israel have a right question four times in a row on CNN and he kept saying he thinks Palestinians and Jews have the right to self-determination and they wouldn't accept it as an answer. Makes you wonder what the question actually means!
Everywhere I look today I keep seeing: 1) deadly wildfires ripping through our communities 2) people desperately trying to get by as energy costs soar 3) record oil & gas profits When will we see that these three things are connected? www.wsj.com/business/ene...
Big Oil Is Reaping Rewards From the Chaos in Energy Markets
ExxonMobil’s earnings doubled and Chevron posted its highest quarterly earnings on record as energy prices soared during the prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

A US private equity firm TPG will take control of NHS patient records in a deal with the government, worth £300m deal! A spokesperson for Doctors’ Association UK said: "We have been here before with Palantir. The difference is that this time the buyer is a private equity giant." #StopNHSSellOff ⬅️
There is no longer any choice. We have to see a full UEFA withdrawal from FIFA. Private investment has absolutely no place in an organising body which has a moral duty to both remain neutral and be fully accountable. Infantino is a blight on the game and completely unfit for the role.
World Cup: Uefa furious at Fifa plan for private investment in tournament
European football's governing body Uefa reacts furiously to proposals from Fifa to seek private investment in its competitions, including the World Cup.

My @bylinetimes.bsky.social investigation reveals a network of criminal complicity at heart of Reform UK rooted in identity fraud by George Cottrell - the criminal fraudster secretly funding Farage and Reform - in cahoots with a Reform treasurer and a casino owner 🧵 bylinetimes.com/2026/07/23/p...

The President of the United States is threatening blatant war crimes against millions of innocent people unless the nation he illegally attacked submits to his mobster-like demands. The greatest threat to world peace is Donald Trump.
He's quite possibly one of the worst people to have ever lived.
When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 2w agoThe cyclospora outbreak has reached 7,400 cases across 9 states. The FDA just recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,300 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”
My definition of reactionary centrist never lets me down: "A public figure who believes that the best use of their very large platform is not challenging right wing evil, but scolding those on the left they feel are a bit too hyperbolic or linguistically imprecise in calling that evil out."
