Most of the media reflects neither reality nor public opinion. It reflects the views and demands of those who own it: the Oligarch Class. They employ editors and journalists to channel their demands and sell their fictions. Hence the endless attacks on net zero. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people. Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it. We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.

The only solution to the war is Ru realizing it CANNOT take Ukraine. Instead, the West's thinking is wrapped up in how to convince Ru to stop wanting to take Ukraine. That's why they're looking for a solution Ru would agree to. Stop wanting to make Ru content/secure at other countries' expense!

“How dare you justify a genocide on the Palestinians?” This is the moment Belgian politician and member of the Flemish Parliament, Jos D'Haese, slammed Israel’s ambassador to Belgium and Luxembourg, Idit Rosenzweig-Abu, over the war on Gaza.

UK Millionaires are overwhelmingly staying put in the place they call home. Once again, following dubious reporting from Henley & Partners the news has been overflowing with undue panic about hordes of millionaires leaving. Only, it's not true...🧵1/6 taxjustice.net/press/millio...

Dit is precies wat VN-rapporteur Francesca Albanese vanaf het begin heeft benadrukt: ‘Compliance with international law is not charity, it is an obligation.’ In plaats van naar haar te luisteren, werd ze besmeurd, weggehoond, en de minister van BuZa weigerde haar zelfs te ontvangen.

HMRC admits not collecting £40bn tax last yr. Others say over £100bn. Big accounting/law firms, banks mastermind tax dodges. Rarely prosecuted. No big accounting firm prosecuted; get govt contracts. Fewer than FIVE criminal cases brought in 2023-2024, 16 in 2018-2019. Govts chase little people.

By betraying his voters so comprehensively and so soon, Keir Starmer has done us a favour. He has given us 4 years to design the government we want. In this week's column I explain how it can be done. There's massive potential, but we need to start now. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Wow. This is 🔥🔥 Trump & his Cabinet should be strapped to their chairs and made to watch this on a loop. Victor Gao: “China has been here for 5000 years. Most of the time, there was no United States and we survived.” 🇨🇳 He beautifully trashes JD Vance too. (🎥 Channel 4 News)

JD Vance slams Demark for not doing enough for its citizens, when it provides universal healthcare for all of them when the US does not, and they're ranked the "Happiest Country In the World." The US ranks at the bottom of that list. America is a delusional country that got high on its own supply.
