The presenter of #r4today opines.

Gary Lineker was a football presenter and dared to voice an opinion and was fired. This anchor of one of the BBC's flagship political shows writes in a fascist rag and it's no problem at all. The BBC has zero credibility.

Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

We won not only against Bolsonaro, but against the full force of the USian's Big Techs, Meta, CIA, Trump, the Brazilian right-wing elites, the billionaires' press and more.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

When someone turns educational policies into a conspiracy theory, it's time to walk away. This article gives the nuance you need to understand Project Follow Through:

A special education/math education professor on the historical legacy of Project Follow Through (not quite the same story that is being gleefully spun in media right now) mathematizing4all.com/2026/10/25/p...

There is blatant voter suppression happening right now in Brazil: flights cancelled and buses suspended to Northeastern capitals where Lula holds the majority, polling stations changed to thousands of kms away last-minute, voters in London told they need to go to Edinburgh… This is criminal.

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

"Campaigers have for years suggested that 'politicians should wear their corporate donors' logos, like race car drivers.' Andy Burnham is finally giving the people what they asked for."

Currently wondering what message the UK govt thought it was sending by dressing up the Minister for Net Zero in a literal Shell logo.

I literally spent a year investigating how the government props up Shell, and then they do this!

Maybe it makes me a credentialist, but I hate how we constantly elevate guys like Yglesias — who have no relevant education or work experience. In politics, he's never run for office, worked on a campaign or served as an appointee. On policy, he has a BA and has never worked in government.

Nobody asked any Palestinians what they think, because our politicians and media outlets very plainly do not regard Palestinians as people. They would not have behaved the way they have for many years now, if they view Palestinians as proper human beings with rights, rather than as orcs or zombies.

Why do they do that all the time?

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

@daliagebrial.bsky.social : "What [the govt] didn't anticipate was that the people who would break the law because they found that law to be unjust wouldn't just be the people the govt felt they could easily demonise, it wasn't just Muslims.. black & brown people, it was old white ladies.."

Analysis: UK Muslims face highest rate of hate crimes but police figures undercount them https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/analysis-uk-muslims-face-highest-rate-hate-crimes-police-figures-under-count-them

If Jewish pupils are feeling upset when they see a Palestinian badge, the correct response is not to erase Palestine from schools--it's to educate those kids that a genocide is taking place and the correct moral position is to oppose it. Anything less is a dereliction of duty.

Good example of how taking principled positions shifts the terms of the debate. The presenter and pundits didn't challenge Israel being a racist state more about one or two states.

26 jobs created helping destroy the planet! I suppose that will help make up for a fraction of a percent of the tens of thousands of life saving jobs, this government made redundant in the NHS.

Flashback to just 15 months ago... Andy Burnham endorsing the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty www.carbonbrief.org/28-quotes-fr...

Jackdaw threatens wildlife, from whales and dolphins to seabirds and tiny seabed creatures. Renewables can harm wildlife too. But fossil fuels pose a double threat: damaging ecosystems during extraction, then fuelling climate change when burned, threatening wildlife worldwide.

Everything aside, the 27 jobs thing is just so funny. Like a pathetic amount, a washed amount. Can't even convincingly pad it.

The persecution of trans ppl was part of the Holocaust. Yet the British govt is calling for schools to mark Holocaust Memorial Day. Teachers will be able to talk about the Holocaust but >not< its trans victims, under this hateful UK govt! Transphobia & antisemitism are unacceptable & related.

Approving the Jackdaw gas field solves none of our problems, while contributing to the existential crisis of climate breakdown. The government has privileged special interests above the general interest. It's a shameful, cowardly decision.

The approval of the Jackdaw gas field is an environmental catastrophe. But also, side-eyeing this from an industry which has lost THIRTY THOUSAND JOBS in the past five years, what the absolute fuck is this justification?

The most racist thing you can do in the UK is oppose genocide www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/the-uk-is-...

NEW ANALYSIS: Expensive gas behind "nearly 90%" of rise in UK household electricity bills since 2020 + 77% of the rise in gas bills Contrary to what you've seen in media / political narratives, net-zero is "helping to shelter Britain from the impact of expensive gas", says @acjsissons.bsky.social

"Jackdaw North Sea gasfield to get go-ahead in blow to climate campaigners" Or alternatively... Jackdaw North Sea gasfield to get go-ahead in blow to humanity" #FossilFools www.theguardian.com/environment/...

If you would like to see Academy Award winning director Alex Gibney’s ”Musk,” the movie Elon doesn’t want you to watch, here’s a link to the distributor of the film’s website that lets you know where it will be playing .

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

🚨HEY NON BRASILIANS FROM BSKY Wanna help ellect Lula and save ou democracy real quick? Just google any of these questions the most you can until Sunday: ⭐Bolsonaro mandou matar Lula? ⭐Caso Ana Clara Flávio Bolsonaro ⭐Flávio Bolsonaro tem envolvimento com a milícia? Our people thank you 🇧🇷⭐🇧🇷

Meta, X and other Big Techs are trying desperately to limit our reach on social media so we're trying to get to the search algorithms to spread the word: Flávio Bolsonaro is involved in crimes and schemes and is also trying to free his dad from jail, yes the one who attempted a coup d'etat

jewishvoiceforliberation.org.uk/article/barn... Great reply by Barnet Green councillor to egregiously nasty and ill informed letter from local MPs

So good to hear @zackpolanski.bsky.social cut through the misinformation on LauraK this morning. The Green Party is the only party that fully supports Palestinian Liberation. join.greenparty.org.uk

Sodha supporting torture on the basis of "protecting women and girls". Yeah, there really is no low which transphobes won't go to when attacking trans and non-binary individuals.

Didn't take long for the NHS transphobic guidance to claim a life

on this, because the guardian neglects to mention the context: NHS England completed a statutory equalities assessment impact showing the negative impact on trans patients, but made the choice not publish it. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Think of allthe resources that have gone into the topic of single sex wards when people are dying in corridors. Why have we allowed gender critical bigots to hold us all hostage to their bigotry? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

imagine every Labour representative was asked to answer for their policy of deliberately harming trans patients in the same way Green representatives have been bombarded with questions about Israel this week

Hypothetically if a UK ally were operating “annihilation zones” in its occupied territories, would “what does the Green Party think about it” be the most pressing issue in national politics www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

He was appalled by the examination system, when it was explained to him, he could not imagine a greater deterrent to the natural wish to learn than this pattern of cramming in information and disgorging it on demand.
