"Lula’s Incredible Comeback Shows How Democrats Can Win in 2028" The Brazilian leftist's big win is a blueprint for taking on the far-right, and shows up Democrats in the U.S. who appear ready to botch the next presidential election in two years, writes @alonso-gd.bsky.social for Zeteo:

I debated this deranged Israeli politician. Brace yourself.

The PM is asked if he supports Shabana Mahmoods plan to increase the amount of time people who come to the UK to work have to wait before they can claim indefinite leave to remain to 15yrs Burnham says he supports the principle but appears to avoid endorsing the specific policy.

Monstrous beyond all reckoning. The US is using remote sensing *designed for humanitarian purposes* for the opposite purpose, potentially drowning civilians en masse. Trump hates Somalis. His troops appear to be exploiting the weather to help slaughter them. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War. Meanwhile, Trump himself owns up to $81 million in oil and gas stocks — which have increased in value by 43% since the end of 2025. When Trump says "we're making a freaking fortune," understand who he is really talking about.

“People are demanding action on rents, the cost of the climate emergency and about how we can bring people's bills down and yet what we're about to see is just the same old.” Hannah Spencer on the government's approach to Wednesday's Budget, speaking at the Cost of Living rally.

Someone’s whole entire life, whole entire existence, reduced to an arbitrary price. We’ve seen animals for sale for £12. We’ve seen them on sale for £5. We’ve seen them for sale for hundreds, even thousands, of pounds. Some we have seen in a multibuy deal.

This Israeli politician isn't just a genocidal racist maniac. He has a level of maturity below the average toddler.

The Democrats’ focus on affordability seems to be a winning strategy. But we mustn’t lose sight of the moral squalor at the core of the Trump regime and the necessity of ending it. My latest for The Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/oct/23/trump-moral-squalor

If you don’t know much about NHS privatisation, that’s because most media outlets ignore what’s going on🚨 You deserve to know what’s happening-so I’m explaining it to as many people as I can💙 Please share this-it’ll help me to reach more people to tell them what’s going on! Ju youtu.be/LEuI8gAhBl4

Me: "You've said 'because of the war' maybe 7 times..." Ex-Trump adviser: "Because it spiked prices..." Me: "But you're treating the war like it's a natural disaster... like it fell from the sky. The war was started by your guy, deliberately, a war of choice." Full: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLJV...

"Climate denial is out of touch with reality.They accept scientific facts that benefit humankind in medicine,so why cherry-pick and deny climate science? It's time to reject the lies of climate deniers and stand up for our planet's future. Like and retweet to spread the truth.

"What's happening with the election, in terms of Flavio Bolsonaro trying to get it annulled, its just him taking another leaf from the far right playbook.." Mara Nogueira doesn't think it will work.

“Students really changed the whole political landscape of the country, and maybe even more important, they changed political imagination."

Reform UK's Suella Braverman claims massive taxpayer-funded water bill at home equal to 18 baths a day Claim to have used 1,504 litres of water daily at her £1.2million four-bedroom pad in a five-month period. Reform have promised benefit cuts for the disabled, old, sick, poor, unfortunate.

Just weeks after Professor Jason Arday was hounded to his death, Reform UK’s branch in Oxford has invited the racist academic who led the campaign, Nathan Cofnas, to speak. Tell the education secretary to protect students and academics from hate: https://goodlaw.social/u07r

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Water companies want to push up bills even further. AND Thames Water wants an excruciatingly expensive £2.4 billion bailout. No more water company failures at our expense. Let them go bust! 1/2

People power. 🇧🇷🇷🇸 Real hope. Real change.

Just five years after mountain hares gained full legal protection, a new exemption allows them to be hunted and killed for falconry. These native animals now face being killed for falconers' entertainment, while captive birds of prey are exploited to hunt them. A shameful step backwards.

Industrial food systems consume at least 15% of global fossil fuels. Yet instead of moving away from oil and gas, the UK government continues to subsidise polluting industries. This must end. Take action with @waronwant.bsky.social secure.waronwant.org/page/203321/...

Healey to ensure state pension (SP) is not taxed for poorest pensioners, SP set to exceed personal allowance (PA). A person relying solely on SP will pay no income tax. Another with lower SP & other source for the same total income could pay tax. Unfair. Cliffe-edge issues. Increase PA for all.

Follow End Bird Shooting if you agree her death isn’t a joke. Shooters kill a white pheasant, pay a “fine” to charity and laugh it off. But she was caged, released and couldn’t hide.

Would #Netanyahu's departure change Israel's approach to #Iran, #Gaza, #Lebanon and #Palestinian statehood? Or would the wars and security policies that have defined Israel since the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023, continue under a different Israeli prime minister? #israel #zionism #palestine

Should AIPAC register as foreign agents? "We talked to numerous people who showed us several examples of how AIPAC is acting at the request of Israel," says Dion Nissenbaum, correspondent on Zeteo's new documentary "Night Flower: Inside AIPAC’s Fight for Influence."

Multiple polls show Trump’s approval at record lows, but I think what’s happening runs deeper than this. Something very dramatic is occurring. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/exposed

Such obvious ethnic supremacy

The media does a terrible job of explaining about NHS privatisation, and this is awful because it’s so important that the public knows what’s going on🚨 I’ve started a series of videos explaining the situation. If you click here you can watch the 1st one! jujuliagrace.substack.com/p/a-light-up...

Every year, construction works around the country threaten occupied swift nests, obstructing access and destroying colonies. Campaigners have repeatedly tried to stop swift nests being destroyed by developers, but have failed.

Insolvency scam The boss of twice-bust business back despite £3m debts. These people gut a company, HMRC and creditors not paid. Then buy assets cheaply from the administrator in pre-packs, and back in business. Gone on for decades. No transparency of administrator dealings. No investigation.

International leaders and politicians congratulate the Brazilian president on his re-election win.

Billionaires want you to believe taxing their extreme wealth is too radical and that it can’t be done. Baloney. Economist Gabriel Zucman debunks their lies. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNg2Uea6uUs

This is terrible news 👇🚨 I wrote about the NHS maternity crisis last week - here’s a link to my piece: jujuliagrace.substack.com/p/i-had-a-ca... Here’s a link to the piece from The Times: ttps://www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/article/nhs-maternity-safety-funding-cuts-0kngzmq65

Follow End Bird Shooting if you’ve ever seen this. That’s the shooting industry on your doorstep.

I watched the PM on #GMB this morning & both Gillian & Kevin are right, he comes across as very likeable. But as Kevin says, he's got to walk the talk. And whether its on taxing wealth, nationalising water, an ethical foreign policy, & so on, he's given every indication he's not going to.

Brazil and Serbia, defying rise the tide of autocracy. This is how we do it, everywhere. 🌈

Scottish independence could transform mortgages and pensions in Scotland www.thenational.scot/politics/266... Me in The National this morning.

Private equity buys UK fertility clinics. PE already controls social care, hospitals, GP surgeries, dentistry, child fostering. Usual business model. High debt, quality of care declines, prices increase, high profits. When things go wrong, NHS has to step in, PE doesn't pay.

Albania's Flamingo Revolution began over a Jared Kushner-backed luxury resort project, but “it has developed into huge anti-corruption protests," says organizer Boba Mema.

No outrage over white rapists, just far fewer black/brown ones No protests against migrant crossings rising under Tories, anger as crossings fall under Labour Support Brexit 'take back control', no problem foreign billionaires owning most UK public utilities Ever wonder why? meme via Angel Stroyan

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Don't give in. Instead, get out the vote. ⬇️ www.inequalitymediacivicaction.org/gotv

This week's Budget must tackle the cost-of-living crisis. Tax the super-rich. End austerity.

Growth that kills its host isn’t growth. It’s cancer with good PR.

Every animal hanging in a slaughterhouse was someone who wanted to live. Before their bodies were cut apart, they had personalities, felt fear and fought to survive. The blood is real. The knives are real. And the killing continues long after Halloween.

Argh, is *anyone* interested in what Jeremy Hunt has to say at this point?! inews.co.uk/inews-lifest...
