El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250
The far right is using the border chaos in Ceuta to manufacture a continent-wide crisis narrative. Actors immediately deploy divisive language to make voters angry as fast as possible, regardless of the facts. It is a familiar, dangerous playbook designed to stoke fear and undermine democracy.
The Far Right Is Distorting Ceuta
We’ve seen this before.

🧵 What is REALLY happening at the Ceuta border in Spain? It is not just a migration crisis—it is a textbook example of hybrid warfare, where human movement is weaponized for geopolitical leverage to destabilise Europe. Here is a breakdown of the players 👇
If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.

Next two years are going to be the worst yet for climate — and we’ll still have News Corp saying it’s not real. People will believe them. And will blame migrants for burning down their houses. And will refuse to accept that 250 years of industrial fossil fuel combustion has lead to where we are.
The Romanian navy blowing up a huge rock to redirect water to a nuclear power plant to help cool it down during a fossil-fuelled heatwave
Every single second, the world hands $6,000 to the fossil fuel industry in subsidies. That’s $5 TRILLION every year. Renewables? Barely a fraction of that. We are literally paying to cook our own planet. When does this madness stop? 🌍💸 #ClimateCrisis #FossilFuels
Fantastic @alexhannaford.com piece here at @emorwee.bsky.social's Heated - profiling an anti-solar influencer. This is SUCH a common story: a project planned near someone rich, influential, or both and that person gets radicalised against all wind, all solar, all batteries etc
The influencer teaching millions to fear solar
Alexandra Fasulo says she’s protecting farms and wildlife. Her campaign is becoming a blueprint for the fossil fuel right.

Crumbling infrastructure & lack of water jeopardising govt plans for new homes. Privatisation of England's water prioritised shareholder returns. No new reservoirs, desalination plants, or national grid of water. Companies don't do national planning. Yet govts intoxicated with privatisation

In June 1966, scientist James Lovelock warned Shell in a confidential memo of “the almost certain fact that the climate is worsening and the probability that the combustion of fuel is responsible.” Shell would later become "a founding member of the denialist Global Climate Coalition." 😑

Arguing against renewables, Ian Dale wants to know what happens in 10 years time if wind ceases to exist. Our world is on fire, scientists warn BILLIONS will die, & the media traps us in an endless cycle of whataboutery. (rachelmillward is great here!) Climate Dad
Sir #DavidAttenborough “Things are going to get worse. This is the new extinction. We are in terrible, terrible trouble and the longer we wait to do something about it, the worse it is going to get." #ClimateEmergency
David Attenborough, the voice of Our Planet: “Things are going to get worse”
The voice of some of the most stunning nature documentaries ever made is pessimistic about the future of wildlife on earth.

"One Jewish life is worth ten million Palestinian lives."
Chinese President XiJinping has rightly stated Israel, not Iran, is the root cause of all problems in the MiddleEast. He urged Gulf states to recognise this "truth" before it is too late. Iran has never attacked its neighbours. STOP SELLING OIL & ALL TRADE WITH ISRAEL!
ZIONIST TERRORISTS BREAK INTO PALESTINIAN STORE AND DESTROY EVERYTHING… Armed and masked. Hiding behind an army who protects them. And the Palestinian can’t lift a finger or he will be killed or locked up. Such a horrible world 🤬😢🤬🇮🇱♾️
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.
💥 700 tons of explosives. Israel detonated 700 tons of explosives beneath Beaufort Castle in South Lebanon, in the middle of the night. A 900-year-old Crusader castle that UNESCO just listed as endangered heritage. @sarahabdallah.bsky.social
💥 This is Gaza right now. Ceasefire? What ceasefire? @sarahabdallah.bsky.social Israel is still raining bombs on Gaza. Israel is still exterminating Palestinians. Israel is still destroying what remains. The genocide has never stopped. 7/31
Pay attention Australia it could happen here & with Segal thinking she can spread her propaganda it’s already begun.
The UK gov is almost able to make protest untenable now. You can only protest if you are invisible. UK has made political prisoners of Grannies and church folk holding signs. The UK’s slide to illiberalism is better dressed than the US version, but it’s the same trajectory.
