Blooming daffodils fill a flowerbed between a fence and a pathway.
A fruit tree blossoms against the clouds, some blue sky peeks out
Great to see that spring was out in bloom for fieldwork today in Wales!!
Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..
Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.
This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.
44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.
jasbir puar’s terrorist assemblages (2007) is as relevant as ever i see
dead. this is too good 😂😂
absolutely terrible - this feels like another escalation in precarity among researchers, academics & educators
Our data belongs to all of us. We need to know how the NHS deals with our data. We need the right to say no. No to sneaky data grabs and no to Palantir 👇

another great time to remind folks that we want to keep our data safe and keep palantir out of the nhs
Many of these medical emergencies could have been prevented if children detained at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center had been given adequate care.
Kids don't belong in ICE detention.
The Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood sure has put on a show…
But how much is really serious & how much is just a theatre of cruelty?
Here’s the TRUTH about this week’s asylum changes

Every single one of those graves is for a little girl between 7 and 12 years old. This is the reality of American imperalism.
what in the dystopian hellscape am I reading about now???
An internal DHS document obtained by 404 Media shows for the first time CBP used location data sourced from the online advertising industry to track phone locations. ICE has bought access to similar tools.
A shameful, heartbreaking betrayal of our duties as a country that is lucky enough to be on the right side of history and on the lucky side of political geography.
How can the politicians who betray our moral duties look themselves in the eye in the mirror I will never know.
to be clear: this ‘deal’ leaves it open for the department of defense to use ai for the mass surveillance of us citizens and to automate military attacks

feels like we should be investigating insider trading on government & military operations, ya know?

Ooo i second this!! fenomenal coverage!!
Refugees do not choose to come here - by definition, they were forced to flee.
Scrapping permanent status will trap refugees in a state of insecurity and fear. This is inhumane cruelty.
Doing so says some people deserve fewer rights - and that inequality is law.

UK folks!! Marvelous new book coming out there in May from @drcarpineti.bsky.social! It's very 🔭 and very queer, so very 🌈🌈🌈🌈!! 🧪

'Analysis of Home Office quarterly data reveals the number of overseas nurses granted entry to the UK has fallen by 93% over three years. Just 1,777 overseas nurses were granted entry in 2025, compared with 26,100 in 2022.'
Meanwhile, nursing programmes are at risk in many UK universities.
hell freaking yeah!!
@kennrushworth.bsky.social found your new favorite bug!!
Four years of Russia’s full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine. Standing with Ukrainians. Supporting them in their fight for freedom and just peace. Bringing Ukraine to rooms and places that matter, big and small. That’s the least we can do.
404 Media found multiple users of Zello, an app previously used by Jan. 6 insurrectionists, linked to ICE officials. An officer at the scene of an CBP official shooting a US citizen also used the app. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

Our constitutional rights haven't changed.
Despite what ICE may claim, we all have the right to record and document ICE activities in public. We're suing.
Many disabled and chronically ill people are demonized for not working full-time jobs, when the truth is they can be forced out due to inaccessible policies. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...
