'Power must be built. It's not something that can be flicked on like a switch.'
Organising is hard work, but nobody is coming to save us.
Megan De Meo of @unitetheunion.bsky.social speaking at our Community Organising panel last week
Zack, Please talk about all the people who can't get to see an NHS dentist, every time they criticise your teeth!
One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.
AI cannot be relied on.
It's a legitimate party! More than 850 local councillors elected, Green-led coalitions running local govt in 12 areas, plus MPs in UK Parliament. More details on wiki. Very different from US Green Party.
Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:
Wow!
When centrists adopt far-right rhetoric, they don’t make themselves stronger. They make themselves look inauthentic, legitimise the far right, and shift the political debate onto terrain defined by their opponents.

“Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; / Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, / The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere / The ceremony of innocence is drowned; / The best lack all conviction, while the worst / Are full of passionate intensity."

All good. Maybe the link will help someone else. :-)
We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.
Have you come across myotonia? Difficulty initiating movement can be part of that.
I get the overheated back of neck too - I've been reading up on 'silent migraine' (without headache). Some forms of myotonia & #migraine each identified as sodium #channelopathies.

The ICC arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu, Yoav Gallant and Mohammed Deif make clear that to continue selling arms to Israel is to aid and abet war crimes. It is utterly indefensible.

New Video: @georgemonbiot.bsky.social describes the treatment of #MECFS as "The Greatest Medical Scandal of the 21st century". The video explores the impact of ineffective & harmful treatments & how they were defended by the scientific & media establishment.

One third of children in the UK are living in poverty and we have had a day with the media obsessing about rich farmers who want to keep their millions tax free. Who is orchestrating this utterly bizarre news agenda, and why?
This would be good. #bluesky #featurerequest
Excellent piece on winning against big oil by communicating smarter (focused on the US, but useful elsewhere)

I think I agree with this, with caveats.
Look, 1.5C without overshoot was always at their very margins of plausibility. There’s a reason why there was almost no literature on how to achieve it until the UN requested an IPCC report on the topic.
But the target was, and is, a signifier:
No one is required to tolerate bigotry. Opposing views are fine up to the point they dehumanise others, whether because of national origin, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, etc. That is not a mere difference of opinion; that is a difference of morals.
Official figures about economic inactivity based on the Labour Force Survey, which now has an unrepresentative 13% response rate.
Important context here:
● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)
● "a big farm" is 217 acres.
Now let's see who's angry:
● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres
● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres
● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres
● Dyson owns 36,000 acres
