Without asylum:

Marks and Spencer wouldn't exist

Queen would have been without a front man

The other queen wouldn't have had a husband

Judith Kerr would never have written The Tiger Who Came to Tea

And thousands of less famous people wouldn't have been teachers, politicians, neighbours, etc

For the first time in *years*, we’re having real conversations about leaving this country. Make no mistake, this is privilege, many cannot just up and leave. But I just cannot justify why I live in America anymore. We’re not wanted or safe. I’m not reactionary, but I think I’ve reached my limit.

Robert Redford wasn’t just a great actor. He used his profile to help others. From environmentalism, Native American rights, LGBTQ advocacy, and independent film, he cared deeply about people, and preserving their culture and world.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Unbelievable. Rachel Reeves is thinking about cutting a tax on US tech giants to appease Trump and his band of billionaires. If anything we should be taxing them more - not less! Agree? Sign today: 38d.gs/techgiantsta...
Sign the petition: don’t cut taxes for US tech giants!
Trump’s threatening to raise tariffs for UK businesses and Keir Starmer is offering to cut taxes for US tech billionaires. Europe is fighting back - why isn’t the UK? Join me in calling on Keir Starme...

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Some federal workers are going back to work.

The USDA has been ordered to temporarily give over 5,000 workers their jobs back.

Dozens of CDC scientists have been reinstated after being illegally fired.

The National Science Foundation has rehired half of the workers it fired.

Have we ever considered…

That maybe fact checkers feel left leaning

…because the left aligns itself more with fact?
