"The FOI Act is fundamental to our investigations," explains @jennacorderoy.bsky.social of Democracy For Sale, also making the case that these rights should be less denigrated & more celebrated. Listen to this panel from FOI Fest in full at www.mysociety.org/podcast/foi-... #FOI

@rosewhiff.bsky.social reflected on what 21 years of Freedom of Information has changed in the UK at #FOIFest. Listen to the whole conversation: www.mysociety.org/podcast/foi-... #FOI

Here's Zarino explaining what we've been doing at The Climate Coalition's #ActNowChangeForever mass lobby of MPs - and how you can also use our tools LocalIntelligenceHub.com, TheyWorkForYou.com and WriteToThem.com to make a difference for climate and nature.

An "invaluable and trusted tool", "transparent and accessible to all". You, like Eleanor Shaikh, could be uncovering information that reveals malpractice, or rights a huge wrong, with a simple #FOI request. Have you tried @whatdotheyknow.bsky.social yet?

Eleanor Shaikh discovered FOI when she saw how the Post Office Horizon software was affecting her own local sub Postmaster - if you watched 'Mr Bates vs the Post Office', you'll know what we're talking about. What Eleanor has achieved with FOI since then is nothing short of remarkable.

"Most FOI officers are there to help you". @georgegreenwood.bsky.social is Investigations Reporter at the Times, and you can hear all of his 10 #FOI tips in 10 minutes, as shared at FOI Fest: www.mysociety.org/podcast/foi-...

What's the benefit of sending #FOI requests to multiple councils? As Isaac from @climateemergencyuk.bsky.social explained at #FOIFest, it enables you to see the national picture that is not otherwise available. Listen to Isaac's short session on our podcast www.mysociety.org/podcast/how-...

Top tip from @benworthy.bsky.social - before you make a #FOI request, check no-one else has already asked for that info! And there are more tips where that came from: listen to Ben's full FOI Fest skills session here: www.mysociety.org/podcast/foi-...

Be specific - very specific! @mrosenbaum.bsky.social shared his tips for #FOI success at FOI Fest, and you can listen to them all at www.mysociety.org/podcast/foi-...

Some good news for a change! Did you catch @da.vidh.scot , the Scottish Information Commissioner, at #FOI Fest? You can hear his whole keynote at www.mysociety.org/podcast/foi-... and it's well worth a listen to learn what is going well... and what is still a huge challenge.

Trump called Epstein’s survivors “the victims, or whatever.” Two words. That is his eulogy for their suffering. He wants hearings buried. His name is in those files. Don’t shut up. Stay loud.

Footage from a recent international summit shows Donald Trump appearing to struggle to keep his eyes open as speakers discuss the Gaza peace plan. The clip has quickly gone viral, sparking debate across social media. #DonaldTrump #Summit #Politics #InstituteOfPeace #NewsUpdate #BreakingNews

"My Melancholy Blues" is the closing track of Queen’s 1977 album, News of the World. While the album is famous for the stadium-shaking anthems "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions," this track serves as a stark, sophisticated contrast—a "hangover" song to end the party.

Cenk Uygur points out that AOC's campaign was professionalized by Justice Democrats staffers Saikat Chakrabarti & Corbin Trent. He reveals that the grassroots raised $2.5M for the movement, demonstrating that organizational infrastructure is the true driver of political shifts.

Trump’s corrupt dealings and reckless war of choice with Iran have hurt the economy so badly that even Fox News can’t spin it. Oil prices are surging, the Dow is down, and working families are one again the ones stuck paying the price.

Donald Trump and the Epstein class are scared of us. They’re desperate to make us turn on each other, turn on immigrants, turn on our friends and family members. We won’t fall for it. We outnumber those scumbags, and we’re taking our country back. #NoKings
