An absolutely fascinating and clear account of the BBC’s legal trouble with Trump. Masterly and accessible. Thank you @davidallengreen.bsky.social

I detest the attacks on the #BBC I’d like my news free and fair without a dollop of right wing flavouring. It is not perfect but it is better, by far, than others. Let’s protect it from the insidious creep of media predators.

Save Our BBC
I've just signed the petition calling on the government to stop their attack on our BBC. We need an independent national broadcaster we can trust. Please sign and share today.

ICYMI: Senator Ron Wyden sounds the alarm on Republicans plan to sneak a nationwide abortion ban into their funding bill. This is why it is so important for women to remain in the fight for our lives!

On this day in 1605 a Catholic soldier named Guy Fawkes was arrested in an undercroft below the House of Lords.

Many people know about the infamous gunpowder plot, but here's a blog post about the broader Catholic community at the time.

Portland is awesome sauce. I'm not crying, you're crying. ❤️
Portland, Oregon isn’t playing around. The community—sparked by @hereticcoffeepdx and featured on @dangerousones podcast—is uniting to support neighbors hit hardest by SNAP cuts. Proof that when Portlanders see need, they show up.🔥🔥🔥

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

#RiotWomen is now on ration, one episode a time. Glorious TV and a uniquely talented cast. I offer some general advice that I have learned, never ever say, “You are just like your mother” as an insult, and the woman who creates the ‘You thought The Clash were angry…’ T-shirt can take my money.

Billionaires must be taxed down to size; not because the government needs that money, but because no-one should be able to casually fund radical political pressure groups out of their pocket change.

It's simple self-defence.

#BBCPanorama #MetPolice so many thoughts about this brave and disturbing reporting. The initial screening process must be lamentable and the older ‘culture holders’ need to go instantly. How can we have policing by consent if this is how we are policed?

#TheHack a cracking start. The weight of truth telling against nearly insurmountable odds or the ability of money to suppress what might attack it. I hope @theguardian.com is feeling some pride. Excellent performances.

Up to my ears in #sludge with #VirginMedia the opposite of #nudge The stuff companies require of us when we want something from them instead of flinging them our money. Bot & I are on p15 of the transcript. We are on a slow revolve and, as they are a bot, it’s me that will blink first. And scream.

In spring 2025, girls aged 10-18 shared their thoughts and experiences of Rowntree Park in York, and other public parks more broadly. Their voices highlight what makes these spaces feel welcoming - and what could be improved. Part of a local project to raise awareness and improve things.

A visit to the lovely #Estorick Collection to see the beautiful and curious Claudio Parmiggiani exhibition. An artist who works with absence and shadows. And soot.

Absolutely disgusting & disgraceful. Pull the trigger immediately Democratic governors.
