I am on a mission to create the 𝗕𝗘𝗦𝗧 BlueSky Feed of left-leaning politics, news and commentary. Corporate Media spreads its Right-Wing lies internationally so we need to be similarly organised to resist

Impeach Mike Johnson

Please share this far and wide; Adelita Grijalva won the ELECTION 71% to 27%; but Mikey the Johnson is holding up her appointment; because he’s protecting PEDOPREZ!

George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 4d

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.🧵

Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

For too long, the UK press have bullied people, harassed grieving families, and destroyed lives, all to sell papers. We’ve all seen the heartbreaking consequences. They’ve hacked phones, listened to ...

I'm sure I speak for the whole world when I thank Trump for stopping the war between Armenia and Cambodia

PS: they are 4000 miles apart. Combined airforces have just over 100 planes. Cambodia has 20 ships, Armenia is land-locked

PPS: Trump is in an advanced state of cognitive decline

Power is the rock on which truth founders. The mainstream media, with a few exceptions, is a single-issue lobby group, whose purpose is to assert the rights of capital.
Here's what I've learnt about the industry in 40 years in journalism.

I have now been a journalist for 40 years. The forces ranged against my profession have never been so powerful | George Monbiot

Once, I believed that humanity’s problem was an information deficit. Now, I know you can’t speak truth to power if power controls your words, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Nice work

I am wondering if they realise the implied support for Ukraine in the colours worn by the women

To all serving in US Armed Forces,

A reminder that your sworn oath is to support the US Constitution.

I appreciate the difficulty where the Supreme Commander and even SCOTUS appear to be ignoring it
