Hopefully it'll land big once that court case kicks off, it's about time Farage was held to account for his actions and destruction of the UK.

Fun fact, we've produced around 12 billion metric tons of plastic since the 1950s when they first became commercially available, and only about 9% of that has been recycled :)

Greta Thunberg proved it with her determination.

She started a global movement
✊🏼🇵🇸

She turned fear into strength, anger into action.
She reminded us that you don't have to be powerful to change things - you need to have the courage to start.

This is George Retes, a U.S. Citizen and Army Iraq War veteran. He was illegally detained by Trump’s ICE for over three days in isolation without access to an attorney or a phone. Now, he’s suing the Trump Administration.

The real questions about "Question Time" are how and why has the BBC transformed a once proud programme into a propaganda outlet for the right in general and Reform & Farage in particular? I resent paying my licence fee whilst this apology for a political programme is still on air.

#Tradition is accepting something without requiring justification and this should be rejected. Justification is what makes things more likely to be reasonable. Embracing/using traditions is often a feature of fascism.

Photos of two contrasting gardens are presented: one a highly manicured lawn with nothing but grass; one full of many many types of plants, not intensely managed, and featuring a three to four seat wooden bench. The words reject tradition, embrace biodiversity are written on the photos.

The federal food program helping more than 1 in 4 young children access fresh produce, milk, and formula will run out of funding next week.

Over 5 million children could lose food assistance — all thanks to the Trump-Republican shutdown.

The cruelty is endless.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Of course the UK govt. intervened in this matter. It's absurd that it's pretending otherwise.

I'm reminded of Blair's intervention in the BAE bribery case (which was initially denied):
