Dienstag gibt es eine Dringlichkeitssitzung der EU-Innenminister:innen zu Ceuta. Hab ich die Dringlichkeitssitzung der EU-Staaten zu historischer Rekordhitze, Rekorddürre und Rekordbränden verpasst?

My own view is that Boris Johnson doomed the Tories when he purged them of all the even slightly talented MPs. Sorry, I mean disloyal MPs. 😉
Yesterday a tree frog and today this little critter. My image search says it’s a Carolina locust. Well bud, you’re a long way from home. #Photography
I feel like the way of dealing with such behaviour is to look these people right in the eye and say, very gently, "You think your right to park matters more than homes these children?" Then when they reply just repeat it with slightly different emphasis.

Better still, recognise that those 'tough new rules' are better scrapped altogether. They are economically illiterate performative cruelty. They will hurt people, probably kill some too. Just another stupid, counterproductive damaging and cruel sop to the far right. Who will only ever want more.
Living Streets has been campaigning to kick pavement parking to the kerb for over 50 years. Today we're hearing that pavement parking is being encouraged by local authorities, and we're working hard to continue to push for change. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2k4qpd5xno
Pavement parking allowed by half of councils in England
Disability charities say the practice makes streets harder to navigate for wheelchair users and people with limited sight.

You’ve got to ask yourself why the most thorough, astute, hard working and revelatory journalist over Brexit, Trump and Russia was the most attacked and mocked by the British media establishment, and hauled through the courts? The answer to that is very damning @carolecadwalla.bsky.social
Carole Cadwalladr@carolecadwalla.bsky.social · 3w agoIf you’re wondering why UK press has suddenly woken up to Farage, please read this. It’s because: Brexit. The r/w press refused to scrutinise the money behind Farage & the lawsuit against me scared off the rest. But this isn’t a new scandal. It’s the same one I’ve been reporting on for a decade

Shabana Mahmood has been an absolutely disastrous home secretary, she'd be a catastrophically bad chancellor.
The re-emergence of the far right is the most sinister development in UK politics. This time they have a bigger pool to fish from with the political normalisation of a hostility to asylum seekers and immigration. This is how we stop them. petewishart.com/how-to-take-...

Do you see the house with the boarded up windows? That's usually so the glass doesn't melt and break with the heat of the fire. Oh, you thought these bonfires were safely away from homes? No, no. Many are built right next to homes. Others in the middle of residential streets.

Fritz Julius Elsas (11. Juli 1890 - 4. Januar 1945)
Lea Fink@strassenverlauf.bsky.social · 2y agoHeute vor 80 Jahren wurde der ehemalige zweite Berliner Bürgermeister Fritz Elsas im KZ Sachsenhausen erschossen. Während des Jura-Studiums in München, Berlin und Tübingen zum protestantischen Glauben konvertiert, war er weiterhin antisemitischen Angriffen ausgesetzt. 🧵
"Scrap" not "water down", and boot Mahmood out of position and onto the backbenchers, if not remove the whip, while he is at it. You cannot water down Labour's current hostile and xenophobic anti-immigration/anti-asylum policies. They are too far towards the extreme right for tweaks to mean anything
The groundwork is being laid for the next pogrom while the PSNI look the other way. ‘HMO stands for House in Multiple Occupation, and has become a form of dog whistle for racists wanting to whip up anti-immigrant sentiment.’ [1/n]

Shadwell Basin is a dangerous place to swim and people have drowned. The water is very cold and deep, and there are hidden obstacles. There are safer places to swim, like York Hall Swimming Pool. If you get into trouble, remember to float to live: https://orlo.uk/MBujI
Liebe Produktionsfirma, es muss lauten Herr Nuhr greift dabei eine konkrete Denkfigur auf, die das individuelle Verhältnis jeder ermordeten Frau zu ihrem Mörder als persönliche Fahrlässigkeit erklärt und damit sämtliche Opfer unter einen Generalverdacht stellt, selbst schuld zu sein.
Die #Piusbrüder sind die Reichsbürger der katholischen Kirche: Sie lehnen das Zweite Vatikanum ab, wollen Messen nur auf Latein lesen und halten den Papst für viel zu modern. Heute haben sie eigenmächtig vier Bischöfe ernannt - und fliegen nun aus der Kirche www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/pius...
Piusbrüder fliegen nach Warnung von Papst Leo XIV. aus der katholischen Kirche
Der Papst hatte ihnen die Bischofsweihe verboten, sie zogen es trotzdem durch. Was an den Brüdern problematisch ist.

Labour has already weakened protections for modern slavery and trafficking victims. This is going even further. We are already seeing trafficking victims, such as Albanians, returned to the very circumstances of their initial trafficking, to be re-trafficked. This will make that even worse. 5/
This is distinctly dangerous. Labour is officially stating that human rights are dependant upon which group you belong to, and I am not ignoring how they already do that for trans individuals. This absolutely undermines the very principle of human rights. That is one dangerous precedent to set. 4/
