Just watched The Life of Chuck by @stephenking.bsky.social . Profoundly moving. My BFF's brother succumbed to this in spring this year. It is one of the most devastating but underfunded illnesses. Please donate to brain cancer charities if you are able.

Are you holding an event or gathering at the start of 'flu season? Do you know that Covid is rapidly rising? Do you want to keep your attendees safe? Make sure there is excellent ventilation. Encourage the use of FFP3 masks. @greenparty.org.uk

While Americans struggle with real issues, Republicans are wasting time on a voter suppression bill that would block millions of people from voting. They're not trying to save America—they're trying to take OUR power to keep theirs. Call your MOC: #StopTheSaveAct social.demcast.com/s/esidgtlU
The text says: “JIM CROW 2.0: The “SAVE” Act is voter suppression in disguise. This impacts ALL of us, especially: 
-150 Million Americans without a passport. 
-Seniors who are less likely to have access to their birth certificates.
-Students frequently moving, facing a prove residency nightmare.
-Members of the Military trying to make their voice heard in the country they serve.
-Victims of Natural Disasters or those with lost documents.
-Immigrant communities targeted for exercising their basic rights. 
-Call 833-346-1779 Tell your senators to vote NO on the SAVE Act.

The reason why there are thousands of times more small fish in the ocean compared to sharks is very simple: sharks eat a lot more, so they come at a very high resource cost to the ecosystem.

Russia and China are on board with this future. Putin especially has been quite explicit about wanting a return to sphere of influence imperialism. Putin and Trump are obviously aligned on this as Trump's "peace" negotiations in Ukraine show.

My statement on Middle East peace
A white graphic with a blue border includes the following text: 

My Statement on Middle East Peace
October 9, 2025 

After two years of unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight; that those hostages still being held will be reunited with their families; and that vital aid can start reaching those inside Gaza whose lives have been shattered. More than that, though, it now falls on Israelis and Palestinians, with the support of the U.S. and the entire world community, to begin the hard task of rebuilding Gaza – and to commit to a process that, by recognizing the common humanity and basic rights of both peoples, can achieve a lasting peace.

When Trump calls climate change a "con job," he is representing his fossil fuel billionaire friends, not science.   Climate change is REAL. It is an existential threat to the planet and future generations. We must transform our energy systems away from fossil fuels.
