I met up with Tamatha Paul while she was in London to discuss nature's rights in Aotearoa (New Zealand). @greenparty.org.uk

and fascism too! and patriarchy! we contain multitudes (actually it's all the same thing)
HypervisibleYeah I actually hate ai *and* capitalism. I can do both.
After much planning, I'll be on the road again in September discussing #communalism, #democraticconfederalism, #degrowth, and #socialecology with friends in Austria, Slovenia, Italy, and Greece. I truly cannot wait!
So the key findings of Amnesty's report was that these anti-rights groups have massive funding, that it comes largely from far-right christian groups in the US, and that they're abusing UK charity law to misrepresent themselves as pro-rights organisations.
#Diversity is a foundational human condition. “The discovery reinforces the idea that human evolution in Europe was not a linear process, but rather a complex scenario in which different populations with distinct evolutionary histories coexisted” www.sci.news/otherscience...
Nigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him
There is no news from a government that’s in office but on holiday during a crisis www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/08... Where is Burnham's government as the climate crisis hits home?
We should never forget how the BBC has changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage and other rightwing extremists, while shutting out progressive voices.
Nicolas ChinardetAnd why is #r4today giving (yet again) such prominence to a hair-brained scheme that has little chance to ever be implemented? A GE is unlikely soon and the threat of Reform winning it is apparently receding. What is the justification for legitimising it?
“Gender-critical” transphobia is fascism. Transphobes don’t want to “protect women & children”, they just hate trans people. There are no “gender-critical beliefs” just hatred. They are just a rhetorical cover for hate. They are certainly not in any way “worthy of respect” in a democratic society.
Bruno J. NavarroA far-right thug who performed Nazi salutes at a "protect women and children protest" has been exposed as a serial stalker and abuser.
Don’t interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake. Burnham needs that “not in the manifesto” defence to inaction in all kinds of areas. He needs to have this thrown back at his dishonest cowardly self.
Tristan GrayfordDrilling the North Sea would be breaching a Labour manifesto commitment. Which of course makes all of Burnham's protestations of the things he can't do because they weren't in the Labour manifesto utterly meaningless. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
If anyone follows me for AI takes you will be disappointed, I live in San Francisco and I’m so so so very sick of hearing about AI. Of course I have opinions but they pretty much all boil down to “end capitalism”
The Peak District is burning — and where there’s fire, there’s smoke. Given Sheffield’s proximity to the park, it feels inevitable that, if more frequent and severe fires keep happening on the moors, they are going to have an increasing effect on us. The question is, can we do anything about it?
Grandchildren! Have you seen this woman? #PalestineAction

Tip of the hat to mainstream media, who credulously gave us those "Musk is getting out of politics" headlines last year and those "Musk has regrets" headlines last week, and will give us those "regretful Musk is getting out of politics" headlines next spring.
George PearkesNYT: Musk preparing 9 figure spending campaign in support of Republicans in "swing" states like Ohio, Iowa, Alaska, and Texas.
I always wondered what it would take for the Telegraph to decide there might be a downside to climate breakdown. Well, now we know. Even so, this article manages not to mention it.
This must be so head-spinning for them... Here's the Daily Mail trying to cover the wildfires ('Evacuate!') and record heat deaths in UK, while also trying to maintain its climate denial by running a highly misleading comment piece by Matt Ridley and an editorial focused on "water companies"
We think informing the public about the threats that affect them is a fundamental requirement in a healthy democracy. Please ask your MP to support the Parliamentary Call for government to stage a televised emergency briefing on the climate & nature crisis. #NationalEmergencyBriefing #TimeToStepUp
The Conservative party has dodged regulatory action on its repeated false claims that spending on social security is “spiralling out of control”. #Conservatives www.disabilitynewsservice.com/regulator-gi...
