El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

The groundbreaking change isn't Trump The giant shift is in the way Congress reacts to appalling corruption Since the days of Paul Ryan and Nancy Pelosi Congress has been totally cool with MASSIVE conflicts of interest, bribes, obstruction of justice etc. This is brand new in U.S. history

I can’t believe we’re still having a debate about whether there’s a trade off between job creation and measures to green the economy. There isn’t. The evidence was clear years ago - a green economy creates far more jobs than the fossil fuel economy it replaces. Come on Labour, catch up …

The business of America is not business. Neither is it war. The business of America is justice and securing the blessings of liberty. ~ George Will
Frances Perkins was the patron saint of American workers and an inspiration for me during my time as labor secretary. She was the guiding light behind the creation of Social Security, the 40-hour workweek, the National Labor Relations Act, and much more.

The California Democratic Party has officially endorsed a one-time, 5% wealth tax on billionaires that will be on the ballot this November. They're right to support it — and Gavin Newsom is wrong to oppose it. Here's why.

Het regent hitterecords op vrijwel elk continent. Toeval? Niet echt. Nooit in de gedocumenteerde geschiedenis van de aarde warmde het klimaat zo snel op. Hoofdoorzaak? Kennen we al 100 jaar: Olie, kolen en gas. Desondanks draait de wereld van 'homo sapiens' nog voor circa 75% op fossiele energie! 😵
Met4Cast@met4cast.net · 3d agoEarth is now warming faster than at any point in recorded geological history - around 10 times faster than the extreme warming event 56 million years ago and 20 times faster than at the end of the last ice age. We are almost certainly in a new extinction event.
Het is onacceptabel dat er vanaf oktober maandenlang geen jeugdgezondheidszorg is voor asielzoekerskinderen. Begin mei vroegen we het kabinet al hoe ze dit gaan oplossen. Maar nog steeds geen reactie. Stel je eens voor dat dit over Nederlandse kinderen zou gaan… www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/...
Jeugdgezondheidszorg voor twintigduizend asielkinderen is vooralsnog vanaf oktober maanden niet beschikbaar

Once again we wake up to the news of horrible atrocities by Russia through its aerial attacks on Ukraine. Russia must pay for the destruction it has caused. And we are using the proceeds from the immobilised Russian assets to make sure it does.
Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.
