The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
Congratulations to Hannah Spencer on a stunning victory.
Proud to support a campaign built on hope and humanity.
Under our new leadership team, Your Party will work constructively with the Greens, because there is only one way we can bring about real change: together.
Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF
There is only one way we will defeat Reform: together.
That’s why I’m backing the Greens in the Gorton and Denton by-election.
We are a mass movement of all ages, backgrounds and faiths — united in a belief that things can, and will, change.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous
Women led collectives within the Latin American cartonera publishing movement (started in Argentina 2003), using recycled cardboard for affordable books. They emphasise gender equality, body politics, and resistance (e.g., Dulcinéia Catadora).

By the time Starmer is replaced this summer, we'll have had two wasted years, in which a country crying out for transformation instead got more of the same, or even worse where environmental legislation is concerned, and a high possibility of Farage running the next government.
Thanks Keir.

Today, Israeli airstrikes killed 27 Palestinians in Gaza.
The genocide never ended — and we will never stop campaigning until there is a free and independent Palestine.
We need a government that understands the value of grassroots music venues and the vital role they play in our communities.
If we don’t protect them from private developers, we will lose out on a whole generation of musicians.
Save MOTH Club!

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.
In 2025, as Bluesky grew from 25M to 42M users, we took actions to keep it welcoming, using proactive design to reduce toxic content by 79%. Our 2025 Transparency Report shares how we're building a safer platform while keeping a transparent and human-centered approach: bsky.social/about/blog/0...

Water bills up again.
The Green Party will lower bills by ending the privatised water company rip off. Water must be taken into public ownership now.
I will simply never recover from reading this sentence:
"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."
Your water bills are going up, again.
Why? Because private companies think you should pay the price for their negligence and greed.
It’s time to end the privatisation rip-off and bring water back into public ownership, now!
I've just published a new article that introduces a new theory of decommodification to better understand socioecological transformations, like green new deal, just transitions, degrowth, and ecosocialism. It's available here (open access):
