We are dancing animals. How beautiful it is to get up and go out and do something. Social collapse Cassandra formed of lentil crisps.

Not a single completed prosecution for any of the 2 million instances of illegal sewage dumping in the last 5 years. Yet the government claims to be taking action. #Channel4 is continuing to expose the privatised water industry tonight. Time to end this mess. Take water into public ownership.

Good morning. Let’s start with a fact: We are losing 80,000 acres of tropical rainforest daily. That’s not just trees—that’s the homes, food sources, and entire ecosystems for millions of animals. Saying no to habitat destruction means saying yes to their survival. 🌍🌿

Why is Donald Trump allowed to blockade Cuba, but Iran isn't allowed to blockade the Strait of Hormuz? Why is starving Cuba fine?

“Fighting to end the rip-off” — fighting who, Angela? Who!? You’re the government. You have a massive majority. If Labour wished they could fundamentally reshape the economy. The fact you haven’t is why Labour will be thrown into the dustbin of history.
Angela Rayner@AngelaRayner

Families look out for one another. Those are our values. That’s why we’re fighting to end the rip-off squeezing families across the country, and investing in strengthening the public services we all depend on. Together, we can keep on delivering for working people. Vote Labour 🌹

Canceled Rutgers speaker @RamiElghandour: "For two and a half years, I've gone to sleep and woken up looking at images of massacred children…And then to have this country and its leadership constantly criminalize the victims from speaking up…what kind of world are we building?"
Prem Thakker@prem_thakker

NEW: Months ago, Rami Elghandour (biotech CEO & "The Voice of Hind Rajab" EP) was invited to give a Rutgers grad speech. It's now canceled. Because some students complained about his posts. He takes us inside the cancelation in his first video interview:youtube.com/watch?v=CJryez…

I like that building high speed rail in California requires nine thousand years of environmental impact studies but throwing up a data center the size of Texas takes fourteen seconds with zero material public support.

Thomas Massie just exposed the power of the Israeli lobby. 'I won my last three primaries by 75%, 76%, and 81%. Now I'm up by one point. Outside money is pouring in against me from billionaire donors tied to the Israeli lobby: Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer, John Paulson. They're trying to crush me for putting America first'

Around 8,000 bodies are still believed buried in the Gaza rubble. There's one working excavator for bodies and no DNA testing available in the territory. Another powerful story by NPR's Anas Baba. npr.org/2026/05/06/nx-…

Near the end of his life, after breaking from the Nation of Islam and travelling through Africa and the Arab world, Malcolm X said capitalism needs a hierarchy of human worth to function. Someone to underpay, someone to displace, someone to extract from. Without that hierarchy, the system cannot sustain itself. The same arrangement holds today. Congolese children mine cobalt for the batteries in phones sold by men worth hundreds of billions. Bangladeshi women stitch garments in factories that collapse on them so a shirt can be sold for five pounds in a London high street. In Palestine, an entire economy of weapons contracts, surveillance technology, and Western political cover rests on the ongoing dispossession of a people. The faces change while the logic stays the same. Notice also who gets treated as a threat for naming any of this. Organisers working for housing, healthcare, and a living wage are dismissed as radicals, while the people hoarding the wealth are given magazine covers and seats at every table that matters. Malcolm understood that anti-racism without an economic analysis leaves the system intact. May Allah allow us to honour the legacy of brother Malcolm X and continue his work in the face of capitalist oppression.

If you’ve ever read to a young child, most anything other than contemporary slop (Mrs piggle wiggle, E Nesbit, Narnia, even frog and toad) you will find they encounter words and ideas on nearly every page that they are unfamiliar with. They will deduce some of it, they will ask you to explain much too, and in this way they acquire a deep and rich vocabulary and language that they would not come by through simple verbal communication. But we can watch the opposite happen in real time too; children who are never read to, adults who also do not read, are lacking this depth, not just of language, but of thought. It is a death, a death of something vital that I think links to our souls, to the very essence of what makes us human.

“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thought-crime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it ... By the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now.” — George Orwell, 1984

A doctor held in a torture dungeon. An affront to humanity. Israel must be compelled to release him and all other detained Palestinian medical workers @HFalconerMP
Drop Site@DropSiteNews

🚨New Testimonies Reveal Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya Stripped, Beaten, and Set Upon by Dogs in Israeli Detention Three recently released Palestinian prisoners have provided harrowing testimony about the condition of Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, who has been held in Israeli detention since his arrest on December 27, 2024. Released prisoner Ahmad Qaddas said he initially did not recognize Abu Safiya due to his physical deterioration. He described the doctor spending most of his time “sitting in a daze,” barely able to speak, while fellow prisoners could hear him screaming during beatings but were powerless to intervene — with those who tried to help facing tear gas raids. A second witness, Hamza Abu Omeira, said Abu Safiya suffered constant vomiting, could not keep food down, and was denied medical care. He described seven consecutive days during which prisoners were shackled by both hands and feet. He said Abu Safiya was also reportedly forced to repeat degrading phrases about himself under torture. A third released prisoner said he witnessed Abu Safiya being stripped, beaten after interrogation, and attacked by police dogs that “scratched him and knocked him to the ground.” All three witnesses warned he faces imminent death if not released immediately. Abu Safiya is one of 737 medical workers arrested by Israel since the start of the war, according to Al Jazeera. Source: Palestinian Information Center

When you hear all the sob stories about decent, hard-working Labour councillors losing their seats. Remember, they are representatives of a party complicit in the genocide of the Palestinian people, willing to strip you of your civil liberties to stop anyone opposing it.

So Iran has now expanded the "Strait of Hormuz" zone beyond Fujairah - the UAE's pipeline exit that was supposed to bypass Iranian control. The UAE built that pipeline specifically to avoid Iranian choke points. Now Iran just... moved the choke point. The US tried to "secure global energy routes." Now Iran controls more of them. The UAE's backup plan is now inside the danger zone. And American warships are getting hit while the administration denies it.
