When three people on top own more wealth than the bottom half of America …
When a handful of corporations control the economy …
When you get one vote but billionaires can spend hundreds of millions of dollars to elect the candidate of their choice …
That’s oligarchy.

It’s happening in Georgia.
Effective immediately, all poultry events statewide are shut down.
The state’s #1 industry is now staring down the barrel of a nationwide outbreak that shows no mercy.

“I am aware this is a dream, that instead of a Brexit we will have a Breturn. Perhaps I am labouring under an illusion. But I'd rather be an optimist and harbour these dreams in my heart. Sometimes they come true in politics”

And yet most media around the world seem to think it’s just a minor inconvenience. The biggest failure of media in world history.

The pandemic risk is staring us in the face.
We have no universal flu vaccine.
We have surveillance systems that function like smoke detectors with dead batteries.
And we have a world unwilling to imagine that the next pandemic won’t wait for us to catch up.

I think the most impactful things the UK can now do are:
1️⃣Stage a full, frank, public science briefing in Parliament. Get the honest assessment of what we're facing—and what our options are—into the public domain and the press.
2️⃣Pass the Climate & Nature Bill #CANBill for legally-binding science-led action. @zerohour_uk
These two things will reverberate around the world, inspiring others to follow. They will even have an impact on the US where the states have a lot of autonomy.
What's desperately needed is for a major developed nation to show the world that a rapid decarbonisation is possible - and that it will create huge savings, large numbers of jobs, boost happiness etc.

It'd be a good time to be open, and for scientists to make this far more overt and clear, that the all out pursuit of growth, under the neoliberal doctrine, is not compatible with survivability, sustainability, and existing within planetary boundaries.

BREAKING: ‘Will I Am’ just dropped a new single called “Yes She Can”.
Hint: “She” is Kamala Harris.
Everyone in America needs to hear it:

You only get one chance to make a first impression. Badenoch has used hers to defend the Johnson pandemic parties and law-breaking. The Conservatives' fresh start has already curdled.
“I thought a lot of the stuff around Partygate… was overblown”
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch says Boris Johnson was a “great PM” but that the public had started to think her party was “in it for ourselves”

Today is One Health Day.
The health of humans, animals and ecosystems are closely interlinked. Changes in these relationships can increase the risk of new human and animal diseases developing and spreading.
#OneHealth is an approach to optimize the health of humans, animals and ecosystems by integrating these fields, rather than keeping them separate bit.ly/40A3wa6

In 2022 the Tories increased employer NI to 15 percent and there was no media meltdown. In 2023 they reduced it to 13.8 percent.
Labour have put it back up to 15 percent.
Media are deliberately exaggerating its impact on business.

The media is clearly suppressing the truth about climate change if they are not leading with these images of a major European city being devastated. They are intentionally keeping the public in the dark.
La poderosa fuerza del agua que todo lo arrasa a su paso. Impresionantes las imágenes de la DANA en Valencia, España. Se trata de una Depresión Aislada en Niveles Altos (DANA). El reporte oficial indica que hay fallecidos, pero todavía no se sabe cuántos.
Son imágenes pavorosas de las correntadas y torrentes de de ríos que dan cuenta del peligro permanente al que estamos expuestos especialmente en zonas vulnerables. #Valencia #España

60 people died today in climate change related floods in Valencia.
I woke up seeing 60+ people are dead, thinking Valencia will be a turning point, will dominate the news, wake everybody up to climate change. It’s not though is it. The budget is dominating reporting in the UK. Public don’t care. We are determined to send our children over a cliff to their deaths without even engaging with this issue.
