Pacific climate activist Lavenia Naivalu’s call for direct action ahead of UN talks in Fiji highlights the reality of frontline communities. While world leaders debate text brackets, island nations face immediate ecosystem loss and rising seas. Why talk when homes are sinking? 🤔 #ClimateCrisis

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."
It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..


Reform's Sarah Pochin believes the
sentence handed to the 64-year-old who
blew up a ULEZ camera was
disproportionate'.

Ok round two for #NationalPoetryDay - would you enjoy the quaking duck, the ‘nice’ mountains, the ungrammatical fatality, the patted sod, or the nocturnal chirping cuckoo? Is my harshest critique ‘perfect twaddle’?

Reading has become an endangered species. Which is half the problem with American political life. Maybe more than half. If you can't read, you can't think. Then you can fall for anything. The idea, for instance, that the truth is fake news.
