I can't believe Mitch McConnell's office tried to use a photo from 2023 to prove he's fine in 2026. It's like they're not even trying to lie convincingly. I guess enough magats will believe it and that's the point of insane, easily disproved propaganda.

These deaths are on the hands of politicians who failed to act over years. Putting profit over our safety refusing to take action - now failing to protect us from its impact. We need maximum working temperatures. Insulated homes. Cooling in schools, hospitals and care homes.

More than 2,700 deaths linked to May and June heatwaves. Dr Clair Barnes, from Imperial College, has warned that if we don't slow the rate of global warming, the number of people dying from heat stress will overtake the number of people dying during the winter

THE UK IS BECOMING THE WORST PLACE IN EUROPE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS. HERE IS HOW IT HAPPENED AND WHAT COMES NEXT.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇺🇸 If you think things are bad now, you need to understand how we got here and where we are heading. Because the direction of travel is not accidental. It has been deliberate, sustained, and accelerating for over a decade. And if Reform gets in, the destination is a United Kingdom with fewer human rights protections than almost any other country in Europe. Not because of immigrants. Not because of refugees. Because of the people asking for your vote to fix a crisis they created. HOW WE GOT HERE The European Convention on Human Rights was established in 1950 in direct response to the Holocaust. The founding principle was simple. Never again. The UK was one of its founding signatories. The rights it protects include the right to life, the right to liberty, the right to a fair trial, the right to privacy and family life, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and the prohibition of torture. These are not abstract concepts. They are the legal framework that protects every person in this country from the state doing whatever it wants to them. In 1998, the Labour government passed the Human Rights Act, which brought those Convention rights into domestic law. For the first time, people could challenge breaches of their rights in UK courts rather than having to travel to Strasbourg. Since then, successive governments have been quietly dismantling the framework around it. From 2010 onwards, Conservative governments introduced legislation severely restricting the right to protest and freedom of assembly. They passed increasingly restrictive immigration and asylum laws. They repeatedly attempted to replace the Human Rights Act with a British Bill of Rights. They cut social security and chronically underinvested in public services, undermining economic and social rights. Those cuts disproportionately affected women, particularly racialised women and single mothers. At the same time, a network of anti-rights organizations has been growing in the United Kingdom, funded increasingly by American money and operating with the explicit goal of removing human rights protections for women and LGBT+ people. Amnesty International UK mapped 117 of these organizations in July 2026. Of those, 37 have spent over £144 million between 2019 and 2024, an increase of 47%. Over 60% of the organizations mapped have emerged since 2017. One in three are registered charities, meaning they receive tax advantages funded by British taxpayers while campaigning to remove British people’s rights. The biggest spenders are ultra-conservative Christian policy and advocacy organizations (£46.7 million), UK branches of US groups (£43.9 million) and anti-abortion organizations (£35.8 million). The largest and most influential of these is Alliance Defending Freedom, the American legal organization that played a pivotal role in overturning Roe v Wade in the United States. ADF has established a significant presence in the UK, with its spending rising from just over £390,000 in 2019 to £1.4 million in 2024. It has close ties to the Trump administration. It has been invited to lobby Westminster. It quotes Nigel Farage approvingly in its press releases. In April 2026, ADF worked with gender-critical organizations to threaten legal action against sports bodies in England over policies allowing trans athletes to participate in women’s sport. Crisis pregnancy centres, which present themselves as offering impartial support but whose actual purpose is to discourage women from accessing abortion, have been identified operating across the UK with charitable status. Some have received government funding and National Lottery grants. The charity LIFE received £647,132 from the National Lottery Community Fund and £248,750 from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. These organizations have been operating under Conservative governments, under Labour governments,

The victims minister is asked why sexual offenders aren't excluded from its early release scheme Atkinson: "I want to ensure that there are prison places available when people are sentenced to custody" Got to free the rapists to make room for people who oppose genocide, I guess

my Hot Take on this is that witnessing a caretaker destroy your belongings doesn't teach 'a lesson' it teaches 'my caretaker cannot control their emotions and that violence being taken out on my things is only a few degrees away from it being taken out on Me'
Allegro ♪@Allegro_spl

My dad threw my ds out a 2nd story window as a kid, completely destroying it, bc I wasn’t getting ready fast enough I didn’t learn to be more time efficient from it, I just cried a lot and got really uneasy whenever he picked up my things after that. Don’t do this to your kids.

Wait… this just got even stranger. Mitch McConnell’s website appears to have changed the photo attached to his statement. The original image showed his hand and the newspaper — the exact areas people were questioning after noticing what looked like distorted fingers and a warped newspaper. Now? Those parts are cropped out. Why was the image changed? 👀👇

This parasite affects fresh produce. The screwworm affects livestock. Both vital to our food supply. Alpha-gal is a tick-borne disease that makes us allergic to meat and dairy. The Trump admin cut programs that protected us against all of these things, and they’re all worse now.

MCCONNELL releases a photo - and statement. “To my fellow Kentuckians –    “When you elected me to a seventh term and made me our Commonwealth’s longest serving Senator, you did so trusting that I’d keep showing up to fight for you every day. And over the past several weeks, Elaine and I have appreciated both your well wishes and your honest questions about what was keeping me away from the Senate.   “You all know how folks of my generation often hesitate to share the vulnerability that comes with growing older. Even in the public eye, I feel that same instinct – I can’t help it.   “But at the same time, I’ve had more than my share of experience with physical vulnerabilities. Surviving childhood polio meant spending my entire life with mobility challenges. They haven’t exactly gotten easier to manage with age. And last month, I took a fall which landed me in the hospital.   “My doctors have confirmed that I didn’t break any bones or suffer a concussion. I didn’t have a heart attack or a stroke. I don’t have any tumors or hemorrhages. But I was briefly unconscious and was taken to the hospital. While receiving excellent care over the past several weeks, I’ve also had to deal with a mild case of pneumonia.   “I can assure you that I’ve been a good patient. At my age, I tend to do what my doctors tell me to do. I’ve submitted to every test they can think of to help figure out what caused this incident. And I’m continuing to do everything they ask to speed my recovery. In fact, with signs of continued progress, I’ve been able to move from hospital care to a rehabilitation center where I’ll keep regaining my strength.   “As much as it frustrates me, this process takes time. And on the advice of my doctors, I won’t be able to return to the Senate floor to vote quite yet. But rest assured that, in the meantime, I’m not taking a break from the Senate business that matters to you. I’ve been working closely with my legislative staff on current issues, and with my Kentucky team who help me provide timely constituent services across our Commonwealth. I’ve also been keeping in touch with my Senate colleagues on the appropriations process, midterm politics, and everything in between.   “You’re right to expect your representatives to work hard for you. And part of my decision to retire at the end of my term this coming January was being honest about the demands of Senate work. But I still have unfinished business to complete on your behalf, and I have every intention of finishing the job you elected me to do.   “I’ll keep working hard to get back on the Senate floor as soon as possible. And I’ll keep you posted on the progress of my recovery. Until then, I’m so grateful for your prayers and well wishes.”

Funny that Mitch McConnell looked so much worse on April 30th than he did just yesterday after being in the hospital for a month. Seems he reverse aged there. Some of his hair even turned black again.

This day in 2003 they abolished section 28 in the United Kingdom. This week in 2026 without anybody realising. Labour implemented section 28 2.0 on acid. Even after saying they’ve banned conversion therapy for all people - they put conversion therapy back in schools.

I see Rowling is now trying the "She loved it your honour, she's a dirty little slut" defense to sexual harassment. Wonder how that would go down in court? Welp - we don't live in a country that allows trans people justice or billionaires to face it so I guess we'll never know.

The EU has blocked a chat control skeptics talk on YouTube. But here’s the thing, the content is in Finnish, and Finnish law allows for this exact thing. So the EU is currently illegally blocking free press in Finland.
Mikko Ohtamaa@moo9000

YouTube has just taken down the political discussion clip about the EU's Chat Control, and the video is no longer viewable in the EU. This has been confirmed by several parties. The video is still available outside the EU. @puheenaihefi podcast is a Finnish current affairs program with 60k subscribers. In this episode, Peter Sund, CEO of the Finnish Information Security Cluster (Kyberala ry) offered pointed criticism of the EU's new Chat Control directive, which was enacted under questionable circumstances. Because the media is in Finnish, it is highly likely the censorship request came from a Finnish government official or a related party. This makes it troublesome. Because the Finnish constitution §12 guarantees freedom of expression. Preventing political publications is a criminal offence: Abuse of Official Position, punishable by a fine or imprisonment for up to two years. You can listen to this episode on Apple Music and Spotify. Spotify link open.spotify.com/episode/51Etz1… Dysfunctional YouTube link youtube.com/watch?v=dGaQCc…
