It'd be a real shame if this photo of President Obama receiving his Nobel peace prize went viral today, for no particular reason

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

The thing I'm "stunned" about is why this isn't the biggest domestic news item on every flipping platform

'Stunned?' Farage's Admission He Knew Nathan Gill but Not His Kremlin Associates Does Not Stand Up to Scrutiny

Insiders have told Byline Times it is 'inconceivable' the Reform Leader did not know about his close aide's pro Russian statements

Socialism. The most effective ANTIFA the world has ever seen. Puts people first on a global scale. In short if your life or anyone else in the world is as screwed as you are and it's only going to get worse take two pills of socialism and call me in the morning.

In case you missed it:

Jenrick supported the appeal of an asylum seeker (to him: 'illegal migrant') who had run into trouble with a law first introduced by Thatcher, and was now drawing on the ECHR to overturn his conviction.

His free speech rights under the ECHR helped his appeal succeed.

Your rights as a trans person are the same rights we all share. Which part of Hussein’s comment do you disagree with?

Izrahell won the genocide, but so lost everything else......

It has exposed its own rotten core, the cancer that is z1on1sm & the control that it exerts over much of humanity...

They dont realise it. The fightback has just begun.

Zack Polanski schooling a right-wing BBCQT panel was a brilliant lesson in how to beat propaganda

The BBC arranged an all-right-wing panel to challenge Green leader Zack Polanski on Question Time last night. But he schooled them all.

The first term we were a world laughingstock. This time, most of the world is pissed. First because we were stupid enough to let it happen again, and because this time his incompetence is harming the entire planet. We are running out of time to win our former allies back.

I see Robert Jenrick is supporting Hamit Coskun who is appealing his conviction by reference to the ECHR (which Jenrick wants to withdraw from).

Who knew that the ECHR could be useful, even to the anti-ECHR Hard Right?

I don’t get why you are behaving like this. Are you happy with the current political system which is eroding your rights and supporting a genocide whilst the rich just get richer?

"Brexiteers boasted that leaving the EU would be worth hundreds of billions a year. Cambridge Econometrics estimates that over the next decade Britain's economy will be £300bn smaller than if we had not left the EU. This is self-harm on a heroic scale."

With British industry faltering, the excuse that the public wants this is risible. Parliament must force Starmer to act, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

They Came. They Danced. They Went Extinct.

I normally don’t expect a nature hike in the clean suburban air of my beach town to turn into a back-to-the future, post-apocalyptic excursion into the remnants of an extinct society.
