A world without borders, one that acknowledges that our freedom to move is being violently denied by nation-states, is the way out of this mess.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

WE CONTINUE. It would be so easy to slow down, but we’re needed more than ever 🚨

These six families will remain in emergency—in need a LOT of extra help in the coming weeks for food, supplies, transport, more.

So we stay bold, RIGHT? 24 hours left ⚠️ 0/640: chuffed.org/project/hope...

A square white graphic. On the left is a stylized ink illustration of a kestrel falcon in black on white, without outline just the black marks on its wings and face, drawn from behind. His wings are partly open and his head is turned to the right. In his beak is an anemone poppy in red ink with a green stem. On the right is the title "Keep hope alive: a gaza giving circle" in ink-effect font. The text says "We are a team of volunteers in the US and UK helping our friends on the ground keep their families and neighbors alive with food, water, & shelter. We distribute your contributions equally every week for sustainable support." In the bottom right corner in green text is the link https://tinyurl.com/HopeGivingCircle.

The citizens' assemblies on climate action and biodiversity loss gave government overwhelming undivided feedback from the public on what kinds of action they would like taken on both emergencies. They understood the benefits of taking action.

Our political leadership prefer the status quo...

‘“Wanker” or not – a term that sounds over-familiar and informal given the context – Glasman’s willingness to engage with Yarvin around their shared interest in AI is indicative of how those with race science beliefs are being normalised, unwittingly or not, in elite company.’

Lord Glasman "sought out, and was sought after, by some of the most important Trumpworld movers and shakers" JD Vance, Steve Bannon... Curtis Yarvin and "as @bylinetimes.bsky.social can reveal – the tech baron and Palantir data firm founder, Peter Thiel"
