“If this were a benign repatriation to send children back to their parents, it wouldn’t be happening at midnight on Sunday of Labor Day weekend.”
10 former directors of the CDC agree on the anti-science actions of RFK Jr: "This is unacceptable, and it should alarm every American, regardless of political leanings."
I bet J D Vance doesn't agree with you. He'll complain that not enough of the "right people" are being arrested.
I'll be speaking at the @defendourjuries.bsky.social press conference today, ahead of the pro-Palestine protests this weekend. Already, seven of its spokespeople have been pre-emptively arrested, in a gross infringement of their right to free speech and free assembly. This is what police states do.
Any news headline or discussion about Graham Linehan, that doesn't mention that he explicitly called for sexual violence against trans people is LYING to you. He's not some free speech martyr. He's just a bigoted piece of shit.
CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 24%. Millions live paycheck to paycheck as they struggle to afford basic goods. Is it any wonder why 70% of people said they believe the American dream no longer holds true or never did? www.wsj.com/economy/wsj-...
Glad to see Pritzker standing up forcefully against the current tyrant in chief. Needless to say, none of this is normal, and every day it’s pushing us closer and closer to an outright shooting war. If you’re a member of the military, remember you swore an oath to the Constitution above all else.
If there is suspicion she may harbour some residual pre-Starmer lefty leanings then she will definately go.
Making a mistake on your stamp duty is a cardinal sin in politics if you are a woman and not right wing. She won't survive this. They won't let her.
Gaza needs actions, not words. 🇵🇸 It's time for Scotland to stand against genocide.
Amid all the stuff about ‘dangerous London’ and ‘broken Britain’, new figures show the homicide rate in London is at a 10-year low. Killings dropped by 26% over the last year, from 78 to 58. No one under 25 was murdered during the school summer holidays.
every time an encampment is swept the government is purposely creating the conditions for ICE to come in and take more folks! your "progressive" council member is directly assisting ICE, no matter what they say! :)

Israel's assassination of the Houthi prime minister last week is another signal "to the Yemenis and everybody else in the region" that Israel will keep launching attacks regardless of "any laws or reprisals," says journalist Rami Khouri. https://www.democracynow.org/2025/9/2/yemen
Healthcare is a fundamental human right. Anyone who disagrees cannot call themself a 'Christian'.
Trump has suffered major losses recently — in both federal courts and the court of public opinion. It's why he lashes out at the media, spreads lies, attacks his political enemies, and tries to rig elections. These are the actions of a tyrant with his back against the wall.

Over the long weekend, the Trump administration quietly tried to deport 76 unaccompanied children to Guatemala – ignoring laws protecting such minors from speedy deportations. Thankfully, a federal judge blocked the effort. The cruelty of this regime knows no bounds.

There’s dignity in all labor, across diverse industries. Whether you clean buildings, teach kids, or stock shelves, you deserve safety, respect, and a living wage. Organizing is how we get there.
According to Oxfam the wealth of the richest 1% has surged by $33.9 trillion since 2015, enough to eliminate annual global poverty 22 times over
The best yes man who will not cause problems. The Party sold out with Starmer.

“Rather than defending civil liberties and civil protections, you’re turned inward to potentially hinder [them].” In June, we sat down with a veteran and military law expert to discuss “being used against your neighbor” as a soldier.
🚨BAD NEWS: EPA’s admin Lee Zeldin announced last week that the agency is not moving forward with new guidelines for wastewater treatment in meat and poultry processing.

People seem to think teachers love teaching their shitty kids so much that they don’t have to pay them a living wage. Hourly pay is better for Costco employees than teachers. Why would anyone in their right mind teach? Until we figure it out, the US is going to just get dumber.
Let’s get down to what it really is. It’s a war on literacy. It’s a war against analytical thinking. It’s a war where their victory is a population of agreeable zombie peasants.
Teachers are reportedly spending an average of $895 out-of-pocket on school supplies — a nearly 50% increase since 2015. Is there a “teacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the dignity, support, and pay they deserve? https://youtu.be/AbBbhoHRPSU?feature=shared
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Democrats just MASSIVELY overperformed in 2 Florida special elections. House 40: Harris +35 → RaShon Young +50 (75–25). Senate 15: Harris +23 → Lavon Bracy Davis +45 (73–27). That’s 15- and 22-point swings toward Democrats.

Labourites seem to have gone from "ha ha hypnotits" to "oh fuck Polanski will make Farage PM, is that what you want???" very quickly. But lads, if you want people's votes, win them. You're the government ffs.
‘I could see why people might think, “what’s going on?”’ Donald Trump isn’t dead, but Emily Thornberry shares why people may have thought otherwise.
Anyone who says: “well RFK has some good ideas,“ should be written off as crazy. Sure, there’s lots of people that have talked about reforming the food system and making sure kids get a more balanced diet, but they’re also not conspiracy theorists and liars. Do not promote the wrong people.
Please read: AI is already transforming society in big and small ways. But Big Tech companies aren't using it to help people — they're using it to accelerate their surveillance capitalism business model while leaving our data vulnerable to hackers or governments.
In Trump’s pay-to-play justice system, you can get away with defrauding nursing homes, skirting your taxes, and committing securities fraud. So much for “law and order.” https://youtu.be/NflcWXdV-B0?feature=shared
The common denominator in every place where birth rates are dropping is women’s increased access to education.
I used to read books like Lord of the Rings or watch movies like Star Wars and think the villains were unbelievable. And of course, now watching the tech oligarchs (who could not spend all their money if they tried) destroy civilization for power, I’m like, guess I was wrong. People are that awful.
A landslide in the middle of a war & famine that was declared last year & has since spread across Sudan. About 25 million people need urgent food aid, according to the UN, while at least 14 million have been forced from their homes. Where is the int’l attention? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/w...

Sorry, I can't bring myself to look.
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

Journos are absolutely braying over @zackpolanski.bsky.social. They're going harder at him than they've ever done at Farage. A sign that he is actually already beloved and a national treasure.

I see people bleating yet again that "elections are won from the centre". Let's examine this claim. 1. Not long ago, the current Labour government, with its grovelling to corporations and oligarchs, extreme deregulation, island of strangers rhetoric etc, would have been classed as radical right. 🧵

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

I wish people would stop calling them a party. Its a company.
Completed years ago. Co-op party 2 years ago. I don't know them anymore. England flags in the house FFS, explains the attitude to Grangemouth though.
Also white (but Scottish and of Irish extraction) and I can't think of anything more un Labour. The Party I remember did not talk about an island of strangers or claim to have English flags hanging in the house. It's not migrants doing it but I don't recognise this country anymore.
Besides the Mirror, there is no significant organisation pushing back. Also: 1. It is heartbreaking, but i am lucky as a white Brit 2. The media have massively mis represented this 3. The lessons of history are being ignored 4. Immigration has made my life better 5. Fuck fascism
👍Good news: the Tories are going to be nowhere near government for a very long time, so they won't be implementing these truly destructive policies.
Renters can't wait for the government to get their act together on the housing crisis. We need urgent rent control measures to protect renters from unfair hikes by landlords.
The Trump Administration is using tactics straight out of the fossil fuel industry playbook to undermine climate science—but we won't let them get away with it. Today, we're voicing our strong opposition to the deeply flawed, anti-science report commissioned by the DOE. ↘️
I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries. These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!
A pro-Ru progressive is an oxymoron. Ru is the most retrograde regime in the world today, trying to bring back 19th century imperialist territorial expansion. If you want to accommodate, understand, appease Ru or if you outright support its challenge to the current order, you are NOT a progressive.
If the same people who convinced you that Leaving the EU would solve our problems (then it made them worse), can convince you Leaving the ECHR will solve our problems... I will call you stupid. I will call you a braindead neanderthal with the intellect of a stepped-on fruit-fly.
Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures. Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims. Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.
Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.

🚨🚨🚨If you live anywhere in the greater Chicago area…ICE will start using Great Lakes Naval Station as a command center for their “enforcement” operations across Chicago on Sept 5. The base isn’t in the city or Cook County. It’s north, in Lake County. Expect raids across entire the metropolitan area.
again i will say this today, the greatest threat to democracy, individual freedoms, and most citizens personal safety is not islam, socialism or wokeism, or someone's sex or sexuality. The greatest threat today is "christian" nationalism.

Soooo there’s literal military in the streets of US cities and we got centrists still lecturing about ‘you shouldn’t have tried to defund the police.’ Mmkay.
The killing of the Houthi leaders is meant “to signal to the Yemenis and everybody else in the region that Israel will keep attacking anybody, will kill senior people — they don’t care about any laws or reprisals.”
