The Roadless Rule does a huge amount to protect wild areas against wildfires, the vast majority of which begin near roads. It's super easy to leave a comment urging them to keep the Roadless Rule and protect against fires. Comments like this make a big impact! www.regulations.gov/commenton/FS...
This is a positive big development that should have dominated the UK news. What on earth has happened to Labour Comms?
The body of evidence showing that when centrist parties adopt the priorities and talking points of the far right, they torpedo themselves is vast and powerful. Yet Keir Starmer's Labour Party seems determined to ignore it. A few examples in 🧵: theconversation.com/how-should-l...
Labour ‘dithering’ on child poverty as Education Secretary admits to being ashamed. Govt finds money for corporate bailouts, subsidies, foreign wars and tax perks for corporations and the rich. Child poverty is an unacceptable political choice. Blights lives.
Not surprising.

Austin Labor Day: really catchy music and great energy! Really love the vibe!
Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Peak rail fares have now been scrapped across Scotland's rail network" "it is to encourage people to switch from cars to trains" Why isn't this happening across England and Wales too?
Happy Labor Day! For over a century, Illinois has been the epicenter of the fight for workers’ rights. Working families are the bulwark that has made our state the 5th largest economy in the nation. Today, we celebrate workers and their leadership of Illinois’ success.
Peak rail fares scrapped on ScotRail trains. Scotland also has: Public ownership of water, lower water bills than England's. No university tuition fees for local students. No prescription charges, abolished in 2011. No two child benefit cap from March 2026. England must follow.
To appease bankers Reeves says Thames Water should find ‘market-based solution’. Not possible. It is a monopoly, no competition, no choice. Since 1989 TW paid £10.4bn in dividends, £13.68bn interest payments. Rocketing bills, sewage in rivers. We can't afford more of the same. Nationalise water.
Whatever is in the Epstein files must be pretty bad, because the President seems extremely stressed by its content. 🤔 Tomorrow morning, we push for the release of the unredacted Epstein files, and the impeachment of this criminal president. Join us.

A comfortable life used to be the American Dream. Not being a financial mogul. Not fighting for the top spot on the food chain. Working to get your share of the pie with the whip cream on top. Grabbing enough food to fill your plate, but leaving plenty on the table for others. Let’s do that again.

Meiselas: Xi Jinping and Modi and Putin and all these world leaders are gathering in China, and they're laughing. You know when Donald Trump says the world was laughing at us — the world was not laughing at us before. The world is quite literally laughing at us right now.

As of today we're only 15% through the second Trump presidency, assuming he lets it have an end date
🚨NYC never misses a beat! Today is no different.
People literally bled & died fighting against corporate interests, robber barons, corrupt local & state politicians, cops & hired killers, & the federal government & US military for better working conditions for the rest of us so reflect on that today for just a bit while you're doing whatever else.

The way Tice keeps going on about this, you'd almost think he'd received £2.3m from people with links to fossil fuels and climate change denial. Oh, hang on...
A reform councillor who resigned after never attending a meeting got paid £2,442. Calling DOLGE… calling DOLGE… I have found an example of the waste you are so keen to stamp out!
I'm sure Nigel Farage will bring this up when he testifies before the US Congress in September about freedom of speech restrictions in the UK.
Tell me when he visits Clacton 10 times.
Parliament reopened today, but Nigel Farage was in Washington DC on his 10th trip to the US since becoming an MP. You don't get to earn £1m from 12 jobs by wasting time on what is meant to be your full time role.

If AOC's star power helps propel Mamdani to mayor in NYC, and Bernie's star power helps Graham Platner unseat Susan Collins, while small moves, they would be nice steps toward a more progressive future. It does my little socialist heart good thinking about them boosting other progressives.

📌 Nice to see D.C. show up day after day. ✊🏼 Power to the people!
The United States has seen 291 mass shootings in 2025. That’s more than one mass shooting every day. This isn’t normal. Weapons of war don’t belong on the streets. We need real action to save lives.
This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.

Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin. If workers stand together, they will win. Solidarity.

Funny how I’ve seen 1000 articles bemoaning the horror of young men’s prospects since I was young, yet never once have I seen a piece on how young women view the job market/economy Even when they’re the ones going to uni, holding down dom labor + traditional jobs You’d think one might like to know

Hey, why are we organizing society based on what makes the most money for the people who already own everything? That seems like it'd lead to a bunch of easily foreseen problems.
Buster is still one of my all time favorite rescues. He spent his life living on a short chain on cold concrete because he was too "vicious". His love affair with his mum Kitty is a thing of pure beauty
Peak rail fares have been scrapped on ScotRail trains, meaning passengers will no longer pay higher prices for travelling during busy weekday rush hours. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Today we get to enjoy Labor Day, because of the generations of workers who came before us to fight for fair wages, benefits, and basic decency.
I didn’t really need more evidence that RFK Jr is nuts and delusional.
Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
And some members of the team are not acknowledged!
Maybe it's just me, but...I strongly, strongly doubt that an individual who wins an award for their (and I paraphrase) "discovery of X, Y, or Z" really did it on their own. Surely most major discoveries and/or advances in our scientific understanding come from the cumulative effort of teams?

She's absolutely right. Stop selling arms, or bits of arms or any logistical support to Israel.
