Interesting opinion has changed for the better- it’s still dire though

less than zero - even if we went to zero today warming would still continue for some while unless current atmospheric levels are reduced.

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her.

RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

A reminder that even if the GOP keeps refusing to release the #EpsteinFiles, in two weeks Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre's posthumous memoir comes out, describing how Epstein trafficked her and others to numerous prominent men. Preorder Nobody's Girl: theliteratelizard.com/book/9780593...

The cover of the book Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, coming out October 21st.

The world knows Virginia Roberts Giuffre as Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s most outspoken victim: the woman whose decision to speak out helped send both serial abusers to prison, whose photograph with Prince Andrew catalyzed his fall from grace. But her story has never been told in full, in her own words—until now.

In April 2025, Giuffre took her own life. She left behind a memoir written in the years preceding her death and stated unequivocally that she wanted it published. Nobody’s Girl is the riveting and powerful story of an ordinary girl who would grow up to confront extraordinary adversity.

Here, Giuffre offers an unsparing and definitive account of her time with Epstein and Maxwell, who trafficked her and others to numerous prominent men. She also details the molestation she suffered as a child, as well as her daring escape from Epstein and Maxwell’s grasp at nineteen.

Men with guns wearing masks in civilian cars are abducting off the streets little girls walking home from school.

The United States is now a fascist police state. If you support this then you are the enemy of freedom and democracy. I will never stop resisting you or Trump.

Heseltine at the Tory conf:

"Fascists of the 30s are back... Trump's language coincides with words here... The immigrant has replaced the Jew as the problem. We must make clear we will never have any part in the populist extremism of Farage... We don't need Trump's mouthpiece anywhere near No. 10.”

Nineteen years ago, on October 7, 2006, Anna Politkovskaya was assassinated by Putin's hitmen.
She was the first to tell the truth about Russia's mass crimes in Chechnya, which foreshadowed those in Syria, Ukraine, Africa and elsewhere. They could have been prevented.
Almost no one listened to her.

Two years into Israel’s genocide in Gaza, the world’s complicity is clear. Western governments, corporations, and media have shielded and sustained a colonial project built on occupation, racial capitalism, and dehumanization—profiting from and normalizing the erasure of the Palestinian people

A picture showing the amount of people (tens of thousands) who got deprived of education, disabled, lost parents and injured children

Statistics of the Gaza Genocide showing majority of deaths are attributed to women, girls and children

#WATCH | “I was beaten by two police officers as I was being put into the van.”

French MEP Rima Hassan says she was beaten by Israeli police after more than 400 activists from the Gaza Sumud Flotilla were detained in international waters while trying to breach the Israeli siege on Gaza.
