We need to stop burning fossil fuels...yesterday. #ClimateEmergency #FBPE

Climate is my thing, followed by a deep dislike of dishonesty / bigotry / lies and dark money in politics (often climate related).

Don’t care how Admiral Bradley has been perceived during his military career, if he called for the second strike himself, he’s to be charged, if he’s following the order of drunken Petey, they both need charged, why anybody would know the laws of war yet risk their reputation is beyond me!

Tice on #r4today says that those reporting Farage’s schoolboy racism are talking “twaddle” and that “no one has done more for the Jewish community” than him and Nigel. Because they wanted the pro Palestine protests banned.
Not so much pro-Jewish as anti-Muslim then.
Just peddlers of hate.

This feels personal. My child is in school in Glasgow. She's likely recorded as not speaking English as first language, even though it is basically her first. Everybody I know is extremely impressed that she's fully bilingual (me, too). Now these people are coming after her. Coming after children.
2 in 3 of Nigel Farage’s current and former partners do not speak English as their first language.

I'm going to sound like a broken record by the way I keep mentioning how 95% of Somalis in the Twin Cities metro area are US citizens, but very few mainstream outlets are pointing this out.

This should be very basic stuff for any news organization.

Time to admit the truth: Brexit has been an unmitigated economic failure, says The Telegraph.

Brexit Effect:

UK GDP down 8%
Investment down 18%
Productivity down 4%
Employment down 4%
Immigration not cut
No trade benefits
No regulatory freedom

Why do some still vote for Farage?

The USG has a new explanation on why they (now admittedly) intentionally killed 2 shipwrecked men. It does not pass the laws-of-war smell test

Worse for Hegseth, NYT: "Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth approved contingency plans for what to do if an initial strike left survivors."

Making progress day by day. I am betting that Trump and Hegseth are getting a bit itchy and nervous. Look for another country to be attacked by the two of them to take focus off this memo.

A prime example of how the far right can never be appeased. Give them whatever they demand and they’ll bank it, then use it as a new base camp to strike out for more and worse.
