Someone: "I'm going palm oil free for the orangutans" my brain: don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it Me: "Maybe you could go plant-based too for the dozens of species lost every single day?" 🦧

One party are degenerate whiners, and the other party are incremental nibblers, the press is borderline useless, and the electorate are mostly idiots Plus ça change

Vote Blue No Matter Who!!! Except Abdul El Sayed and progressives. Look at the glee that some in the Dem establishment are showing over a Fox poll that reveals he's down 4 points. They'll gladly lose Michigan to tell everyone to their left, "See? Go centrist!" Everything to hold on to power.

The share of income flowing to labor is the lowest it's ever been, and the share of the population employed or looking for a job is the lowest it's been in 50 years outside the pandemic. We don't know how much of these record lows are due to AI, but it's certainly not helping. We need basic income!📢

Paul Marshall, the co-owner of GB News, has tripled his hedge fund investments in fossil fuel companies in the first quarter of 2026 to £2.1bn. They're a propaganda channel cashing in on destroying our future. Always follow the money.

I'm not sure it's accurate to say I've "claimed it" as much as it's a scientific reality. The climate crisis is killing people and on track to get much worse. Seems big & worth having a plan to tackle. I'm calling on the Government to have an emergency meeting and create a plan - and carry it out.

these liberal legal frameworks everyone keeps appealing to for salvation were born of and have therefore historically protected the wealth of slaveholders and colonizer corporations while criminalizing the resistance of the colonized and the working class you know, just so we're clear

If Andy Beshear does not push this to a conclusion that either has him appointing McConnell's replacement, or McConnell reappearing, Beshear will be out of Democratic politics. We need rabble-rousers, not the same quiet, proper Dems who keep losing.

I know people who clung onto the Labour Party in the slim chance that after Keir Starmer things might have been different. Labour consistently revealing there's absolutely no plan for change. The puurpose is to maintain power & wealth for the super rich. Join.greenparty.org.uk

The possibility that Josh Simons could be close to Andy Burnham's government raises some very serious questions. Should a man who waged factional warfare, spied on journalists and then resigned in disgrace really be at the centre of Government? Feels very Starmer 2.0

The list of key advisers Burnham is rumoured to be recruiting to his court is ominous: Andy Haldane, Jim O'Neill, Josh Simons, Douglas Alexander, Sue Gray & now James Purnell represent the interests of corporate wealth & power not 'ordinary working people'. Expect his Cabinet picks to be the same.

Bills up. Wages too low. Record profits for Oil & Gas. 50 richest families with more wealth than 50% of population. Shit in our rivers. Pensioners jailed for protesting. Migrants thrown under the bus. Supporting a Genocide. That's Starmer's legacy.

"The pattern is clear: bigger minimum wage boosts meant bigger pay gains for restaurant workers. In neither case does the group with the largest raises show any indication of a more negative employment effect — in fact those groups’ employment estimates are slightly positive..."

1/6 I have to laugh a bit when I hear people call Sanders a "Socialist." Mainly because they have no idea what Socialism is and think of Russia. That's Marxism-Leninism Socialism; it all belongs to the government. Then there is another reality that the American people don't seem to understand:

WHITESIDES: The truth is the cheapest form of energy on a per unit basis is daytime solar. Is that not true? CHRIS WRIGHT: It depends-- WHITESIDES: No it doesn't depend! It's true. You are amazingly misleading the American public. WRIGHT: It depends-- WHITESIDES: No!
