Just a reminder: it’s good to oppose assassinations. But you are under absolutely no obligation to treat Trumpists and Trump-apologists as people who are honest, or acting in good faith, when they purport to condemn political violence or violent rhetoric. They’re not sincere.

Lost in the ongoing Trumpapalooza is the excellent news that a malaria vaccination developed at Oxford Univ. over the last 30 years and costing only £3 per shot is being unrolled in malaria-prone countries. If it fulfills its promise, this will make an enormous difference to so many lives.

Clarence Thomas took $267,000 from a health insurance executive, then issued rulings that made health insurance companies more money, while harming millions of Americans. This is a bribe. This isn’t complicated. Expand the Supreme Court.

Hold your nose if you have to, but vote tactically to destroy the Tories... Do to them what they've done to us & the country for the last 14 years. Post your vote asap, or if voting in person, remember your photo ID. July 4th is payback time. #NeverVoteConservative

This is getting ridiculous - how can Farage constantly get airtime with no one pointing out to him & viewers the Brexit he championed has by almost every economic & financial measure been disastrous for the UK? If that outrages you as much me RT this widely youtu.be/oe45GLj_WBU?...

UK news shows refusing to point out to Farage the disastrous consequences of Brexit is ridiculousyoutu.be

Regular reminder, as countries are voting - sadly in increasing numbers - for people who say this 👇

Big chunks of Texas were under heat warnings this past week — with heat indexes hitting 115°F. Reminder that Texas Gov. Abbott signed legislation that prohibits cities from mandating employers to provide workers with rest and water breaks. This is the GOP's vision for America.

I share this thought too. The uk needs a Stacey Abrams to mobilize the non-Con-Ref voters. Remember too, how the far left in France helped the far right with their squabbling.

I’m still concerned that the Tories could somehow mobilise their base (as unlikely as it seems) and if Labour’s stays at home because it’s a foregone conclusion, we could end up with a very different result on Thursday.

Staggering how unrepentant the Tories are. 14yrs. And everything that’s broken is down to them. They reek of corruption, dishonesty and failure. Yet still so smug, so entitled, so nasty and defiant in the face of their glaring unpopularity. They’re due such an electoral slapping.

Every time I read articles about extremely wealthy people/companies engaging in unethical behavior to become even more wealthy, I think about this excerpt from the book the psychology of money. The endless quest for more is so damaging, especially when pursed by those who already have enough.

Excellent op-ed yesterday from @andrewdessler.bsky.social on renewables already being the cheaper option and how the fossil fuel industry is trying to salt that particular bit of earth to stop their rollout. These companies are *absurdly* rich and they're not gonna stop. Gift link:
