Watched Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest, One Battle After Another, yesterday. Apart from being a great & gripping story, it’s very politically interesting. Says a lot about the current political moment (particularly in the US) when moderate positions become ever more difficult to justify. 1/4

Grief burns into rage as 146 people were murdered in 2024 for defending land and a livable planet. Their courage exposes the cowardice of governments and corporations that let this happen. We mourn them, honor them and demand an end to this violence. 💚✊🌍 globalwitness.org/en/campaigns...

Four people were arrested for an “unauthorised projection”. This is apparently what counts as a crime now www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The largest citizen flotilla in history is sailing to Gaza with food and medicine. Israel has threatened to seize it - but together we can be their shield. Add your name to help watch over the flotilla and demand its safe passage! action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-09...

Great book this. A brilliant team effort led by the fantastic @james7jackson.bsky.social

One way to hand over hegemony to the Chinese is to just let disease run amok amongst you I suppose

Wrote this in response to the recent flag-raising around the UK and on my doorstep www.bristol247.com/opinion/your...

4/5 This is not a forgotten working class crying for attention from government. Nor is it an innocent & inclusive display of national pride. It takes wilful, faux naivety to believe that it is equivalent to symbolising a shared belonging.

Yessss, we’re in the lead

This is not trivial either because this is how mediated meaning is created The vast majority of people will not have been on the ground or know people who were and will rely on the media to tell them what happened This is how the far right is hyped and normalised

A deep dive into the impact of Bristol’s two growing universities on the city. I challenged both on their contribution to the housing crisis in the city, & whether the pros outweigh the cons. Have a read 👇🏼 www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...

Scenes in Bristol. 35 Fascists in a dip in Castle Park, surrounded by 50 cops and 400 anti-fascists on surrounding hills.

In case you missed it,

Was interviewed for this Dutch news article today about the ridiculous proscription of Palestine Action www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

Aside from the frothing racism of these people, what is really grim about this is the idea that government are powerless to change culture. If your constituents think these things *they are wrong* and you need to explain why. It's not actually your job as an MP to rubber stamp fascism.

at this point a lot of Trump's daily life involves humiliating European elites, which they frankly deserve for possessing the backbone of a molusc.

disgraceful decision to suspend the flagship widening participation initiative in the humanities at Bristol please sign and share this letter to oppose this docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Wrote this on how to respond to increasing criminalisation of climate activism

The Norwegian media are reporting from what is described as the "biggest blockade against the fossil industry and oil in Norway's history". 250 activists are right now blocking all the central entrances to the deadly oil refinery in Mongstad north of Bergen. www.nrk.no/vestland/gre...

NEW PUBLICATION -w/ Jenny Bergman, Alexandra Buylova, Naghmeh Nasiritousi, Lisa Sanderink and Paul Tobin in @environmentalpol.bsky.social. We explore how Stockholm governs climate mitigation unilaterally and collaboratively with national and international actors - www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

We are witnessing increasing criminalisation and repression through 1) New Anti-Protest Laws 2) Misuse of Existing Legislation 3) Public and Private Policing 4) Murders of Environmental Activists & 5) Public Vilification. 1/3 carnegieendowment.org/research/202...

Public vilification by Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson: denouncing climate activists as threats to democracy to pave the way for repression and criminalization.

Why don't more climate activists turn to sabotage? My new piece for The Carnegie Endowment @carnegieendowment.org carnegieendowment.org/research/202...

Wrote this for the Carnegie Endowment on the criminalisation of climate protest

🧵My humble thoughts on the criminalisation of Pal Action 1. Pal Action carried out lots of very damaging direct action/sabotage directed at Israeli military company Elbit and other military companies enabling the genocide

Reading this, who can honestly say Gaza is not a concentration camp, w Israel engineering mass death by starvation.

This is why so many people say that politicians are all the same Absolutely despicable, but not at all surprising from Starmer, Reeves and Co www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The gulf between popular opinion and policy on Palestine in country after country is unreal. The establishment parties around the world are torching their credibility with voters, and for what? To help Israel commit genocide? I honestly can't understand it

That Melanie Phillips is a lunatic conspiracist bigot and racist is not remotely shocking. But the fact that the Times continues to employ her should be.

I think Ian Dunt has saved UK Bluesky. That’s exactly the kind of drama based on some half-baked idea that made Twitter fun. The pile-on is the point

“Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man’s original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion” Oscar Wilde

Think Gramsci may have a thing or two to say about that

Meanwhile, we send weapons to Israel and fund illegal settlements in the West Bank. Pretty sure the Labour Government more closely meets any normal definition of 'support for terrorism' than those it arrested.

UK police arrest 55 at parliament rally for banned Palestine Action group reut.rs/4m0MWrx

"We want Yvette Cooper to remove the proscription of Palestine Action" A retired software engineer was just arrested under the Terrorism Act, alongside seven others in Truro, for opposing genocide and supporting Palestine Action.

Inget tycks kunna göras för att stoppa klimatförändringarna. Allt tycks kunnas göras för att stoppa klimataktivisterna www.etc.se/klimat-miljo...

Concentration Camp, literally.

It’s a small consolation but those who oppose genocide and those who oppose our continued use of fossil fuels will be on the right side of history.
