National Emergency Briefing@nebriefing.bsky.social · 20h ago

A big thank you to everyone who’s been promoting the petition for a televised emergency briefing on the climate and nature crisis. It’s now jumped up to 56,700. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76... #NationalEmergencyBriefing #TimeToStepUp

Petition: Hold a UK-wide briefing on climate and nature risks

The UK faces growing risks from climate and nature breakdown - from extreme weather to economic disruption and national security threats. Yet the public has never been given a clear national briefing ...

This has to be the funniest headline I've read this year, Biblical command to preach on planes, why are your americans so funny and weird?. This tops peter hegseth bemoaning the lack of testosterone in military personnel. I just can't take these people seriously!!😂😂😂

You're entitled to your beliefs. You're not entitled to a captive audience. An airplane isn't your church. Passengers can't simply walk away, and no one should have to endure an unsolicited sermon at 35,000 feet. www.washingtonpost.com/travel/2026/...

Evangelical Fundamentalists need to be put on a leash. This is spiritual abuse and harrassment. It's fascism. PERIOD!!

This story shows on its face why we cannot rely on churches for salvation Because churches are based on the idea that everyone outside the Church deserves a fate worse than death and that eventually everyone alive will agree on it Thank you @friendlyatheist.com substack.com/@friendlyath...

All the petitions we sign and many of them are desperate. Are there any more desperate or more worthy of massive consensus than this one. The reality of these issues should dictate major government policies that start to make a difference. Or it mustn't matter? petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

If it escaped your eyes: I wrote a piece about the recent supposed UFO/UAP Disclosure from the U.S. government. I highlight the need for the subject to be allowed outside of 'establishment" venues rather than forcing it down officialdom's throat. tannerfboyle.substack.com/p/the-disclo...

The Disclosure Conundrum: Who to Trust When You Should Trust No One

On recent UFO releases, the uneventful days after revelation, and finding the real flying saucer within us all—the one that truly matters.

Donald Trump has increasingly said out loud “I don’t care” about a range of subjects that it’s his job to care about. While he has never truly cared, the machinery to simulate it is gone now. Apathy is a neurological symptom. The president is demented. www.mind-war.com/p/apathetic-...

Apathetic State of America: “Sit back and relax. I don’t care.”

The fate of the world is wobbling on one man’s neurological dysfunction.

In light of the Roberts Court emphatically clarifying that the voting rights era really is OVER and that the nation’s laws and constitution can henceforth only be used to *curtail* the right of minorities to vote, I am reposting my series of essays on the history of multiracial democracy:

BREAKING: In an unsigned, per curiam opinion on the shadow docket, the SCOTUS conservatives allow Alabama to use a congressional map held repeatedly by a lower court to have been enacted with discriminatory intent.

At this preliminary stage, the State has shown that it is entitled to interim relief from the District Court's injunc-tion. See Abbott v. League of United Latin American Citi-zens, 607 U. S. 一 (2025) (slip op., at 1-2). The State is likely to succeed on the merits as to both claims. As to intentional vote dilution, the District Court did not heed the presumption of legislative good faith, see Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP, 602 U. S. 1, 10 (2024), because it interpreted the State's legal disagreement with the court's earlier remedial order as proof of discriminatory animus. Cf. Abbott v. Perez, 585 U. S. 579, 608-609 (2018). And, as to both claims, the District Court's analysis departed from Callais. Under Callais, the District Court was required to deny relief unless the plaintiffs' alternative map performed "just as well" with respect to all of the State's constitutionally permissible districting crite-ria. 608 U. S., at— (slip op., at 29). Yet, the District Court found a violation even though the plaintiffs' alternative map would not perform just as well as to the State's constitutionally permissible criteria of keeping together the Gulf Coast community of interest and avoiding the pairing of in-cumbents. The District Court also failed to follow our instruction in Callais that the mere fact that voters of different races vote for different parties is not relevant to proving racially polarized voting patterns. See id., at _ (slip op., at 30).

Finally, Part III: An attempt to take stock of where America stands one month after the end of the voting rights era. The country is facing an escalating representation crisis, a spiraling crisis of legitimacy, and an accelerating disintegration into two incompatible Americas.

America Is Going Backwards - and Falling Apart

The country is facing rapidly encroaching minoritarianism, vastly unrepresentative political institutions, and an escalating crisis of legitimacy
