"The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy". As long as the protest is not about Palestine, climate or any other issue that major lobbyists want to shut down. If you're protesting about asylum seekers, on the other hand, your concerns are legitimate, and we're making policy in response.

I can't stress enough what a crisis this is. Trump's own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran attacked Minnesota's critical infrastructure and Trump is saying that it's Minnesota's own fault and denying it was Iran. The federal government won't defend blue states in a literal war.

Brighton has been truly parched, and meanwhile water infrastructure crumbles. In 37 years since privatisation, not one new major reservoir for England. In the 35 years before that, nearly 100 major reservoirs were created. The new PM must renationalise water as a matter of urgency.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

I would note that when Tories who backed austerity to the hilt are interviewed on #r4today they are never asked about the long-term effects of that policy. One might almost believe that presenters and editors of the show live in a rich bubble unaffected by all that 'poverty unpleasantness'.

Why should Europe join the war in Iran on behalf of an administration waging a hybrid war against us? From Greenland to the “civilizational decline” rhetoric, Trump’s team treats Europe as a target. We owe Trump nothing, and we cannot afford to shift our focus away from Ukraine

People arrested while protesting ICE say federal agents took samples of their DNA. It's legal, but experts say the practice raises questions about what the government is doing with that genetic data.
