MAGA alternative facts territory.
We must resist this before it's too late.

Quite possibly the most extraordinary exchange I’ve ever been involved in on TV.

These are not protests. These are not legitimate concerns about crime or safety of women and children.
These are racially fuelled riots, assaults, damage and attempted murders.
Lets call it what it is.

I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:
"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

holy crap this is easily the best Tony Award speech of the entire night. hell yes to all of this
"This is dedicated to the beautiful tapestry of immigrant families who make this country really special. May you one day not have to audition for the empathy that should be freely given by this country that benefits from your beauty. To the queer and trans communities that always will exist, no matter what people in power try to take away from them. To the people of Palestine who deserve to live a free life – a full life – without occupation. ... If there's one thing we can learn from vampires, it's that life is short, but that's its gift. Find beauty in the ephemeral and gratitude in what is not promised."
—Ali Louis Bourzgui, winning Featured Actor in a Musical for The Lost Boys

Oceans are our life source which support humanity’s sustenance. They are the lungs of our planet, major source of food and medicine, and essential part of the biosphere. On #WorldOceansDay, let us pledge to nurture marine biodiversity and safeguard this cradle of life for a healthier planet.

Scientists across the country are expressing alarm as the Trump administration dismantles another tool for understanding how the planet is changing.
Starting this month, more than 900 deep-sea ocean sensors will be pulled out of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans off the coast of Washington, Oregon, Alaska, North Carolina, and Greenland.
Researchers say these are critical ocean observation tools.
William Brangham (@WmBrangham) explains.

France has introduced one of the world’s toughest environmental laws by criminalizing “ecocide” under its Climate and Resilience Act.
The new legislation allows courts to impose severe penalties on companies and executives responsible for severe and lasting damage to air, water, or soil. Convicted offenders can face fines of up to €4.5 million, or up to ten times the profits gained from the violation, along with prison sentences of up to 10 years.
This marks a significant cultural and legal shift, elevating environmental protection to the same level of seriousness as threats to public safety or human life.
The law is part of a growing international movement, driven by activists, scientists, and legal experts, to treat large-scale ecological destruction as a serious crime rather than a mere business cost.
While some critics worry the law may prove difficult to enforce, it reflects a broader recognition that the health of the planet’s ecosystems is essential to human survival.

El Niño is arriving on our doorstep in the coming months with 90% certainty.
The world must treat it as the urgent climate warning it is.
The only effective response is #ClimateAction equal to the crisis – ending the addiction to fossil fuels, accelerating the shift to renewables, protecting the most vulnerable, and delivering early warning systems for all.

He knows exactly what he's doing.
Stoking division , fuelling hatred, and exploiting disaffected people.
These Farage riots are like MAGA america.
Exclusive from @carolewalkercw:
Nigel Farage says that last night's violent disorder in Southampton is 'just the beginning'
He tells @TimesRadio that 'the division will get far worse because 'large numbers of young white males think the police are prejudiced against them
'The division will get far worse. What you saw in Southampton last night is the beginning
'If we get large numbers of young white males who think the police are prejudiced against them, goodness knows where we go. This has to end'
And this is Farage on saying people should feel 'pure rage': 'I used that term very, very deliberately. Was I angry watching what had happened? Yeah, I bet you were too. Millions of us were
'In fact, it's hard to be a human being and not be angry watching it. But I suggested that rage was put in a cold way, not a hot way'

Watch Keir Starmer call out Nigel Farage over his response to the Henry Nowak murder:
"He pretends to have respect for Henry's family & then acts in this way... his response has been to appeal for rage... it shows exactly who he is."

I genuinely think a lot of millennials are reaching the same conclusion at the same time.
We grew up watching technology make life better every year. Cell phones. iPods. Smartphones. An app for everything. It felt like the future was arriving right in front of us, and we couldn’t wait for what came next.
Then somewhere along the way, it changed.
Everything became a subscription. Social media became algorithms. Every day feels like another once-in-a-lifetime event. The things that were supposed to save us time somehow ended up demanding more of our attention than ever.
We were sold convenience.
What we got was a world that feels faster, louder, more expensive, and somehow less human.
And that’s why so many people I know dream about a completely different life now. Not more technology. Not more optimization.
Just a quiet job, a flip phone, a small town, and a place where life feels real again.

Most people completely underestimate the insane, inhumane scale of the war in Ukraine.
According to the Uppsala Conflict Data Program, the siege of Mariupol alone saw between 27,000 and 88,000 deaths in only three (3!) months.
Read that again and let it sink in

This is what elite, world-class investigative journalism looks like:
Carole Cadwalladr and her team at The Nerve have forensically stripped the mask off the British political establishment.
The pattern they found in The Harborne Receipts is nothing short of terrifying. Millions of pounds flow from a crypto-billionaire into the pockets of Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage, and like clockwork, weeks later, those exact politicians start pushing laws to benefit the crypto industry.
It is the exact same playbook Donald Trump used in America. It is cash-for-policy, clear as day.
While the billionaire-owned press tries to distract us with culture wars and theatre, true journalists follow the money.
This is the toxic soil that is destroying our democracy from within.
Absolute honour to see her back in action!

Last week: @thenerve_news.
This week: the FT View.
We forensically tracked cryptobillionaire Christopher Harborne’s donations against Nigel Farage’s crypto policy statements.
Yesterday the FT pulled out this same point in its main editorial & notes the similarity to Trump.

1) Arne deserved a proper send off
2) He was so dignified and led us through the tragedy of diogo Jota's death. It must have been so challenging
3) If they knew he was likely to go, why didn't they move for Alonso before he went to Chelsea?
Thank you Arne YNWA 💙
