Mona Khalil, Lebanon’s most well-known sea turtle conservationist, died of her wounds today after being injured by an Israeli strike I feel sick

Brilliant, ever so important work, analysis and campaigning for our NHS from @jujuliagrace.bsky.social and @everydoctor.org.uk ☝🏻

Pushing for a top spot on the reading list...

This is actually a terrifying story. But it's becoming clearer who is pushing the agenda of white supremacism in Britain. The same lobbies that gave us the catastrophe of a hard Brexit.

Important thread on an important take. Like other institutions and people in British society, Oxford Union is showing its true colours. At least we can see them. It's so important for everyone who cares about equal rights to stand up and be counted. This is no time for resting in comfy bubbles.

I wrote a ting last night. In native London tung. Freedom spellin free from capitals n punctuation. Free from capitalism n colonisation. Its ad a mornin afta edit. Warm light o day poetree from me... #poem 🧵1

My political reasoning leans heavily towards Green, and as far as Far can be from outRageously deFormed approaches to equal rights and wellbeing for all people and our planet. Here is a concrete piece of evidence from my perspective...

I have added my name to the 1000+ signatories of the "roadmap for eradicating poverty beyond growth", recognising that an endless pursuit of economic growth at any cost which fails to tackle inequality or protect the planet is no true marker of "success" at all.

"This verdict will have a gigantic chilling effect on our wider rights to protest." Siân Berry MP on the Court of Appeal upholding the proscription of Palestine Action

A society with one trillionaire and millions of people in poverty is something to be deeply ashamed of, actually

Few things are a binary either or. At one end of a spectrum: "We have to do this because we have no choice and the argument for doing so is unassailable." At the other end: "We really want this at all costs, so how do we make it happen?" The UK Government sits where? Sleep on that.

Important 🧵

Reform wants the British military to commit war crimes with no scrutiny. They want soldiers to be able to do whatever they want to whoever they want. At the same time, they want to expand the power of the state to round up undesirables. That's what it boils down to. It's that simple.

So much perspective and opinion worthy of attention on this Monday morning 🌅

Now we know why Ofcom never addressed objections about media sources presenting climate change denial tropes as fact This f*ckwit was in charge www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

I'm going to push back a little on this. That's not the inverse of the accidental benefits disabled people might get from new advancements; that's a sobering reminder that we will all become disabled in one way or another, if we aren't already.

I’d add something less visible: the weakening of research links. Scientific breakthroughs come from networks built over decades. Once those connections fray, rebuilding them is neither quick nor cheap. A decade on, we’re still living with the consequences. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Pay attention 🙏

Let's build better things 🙏❤️

Climate and sustainability writing + duck monitoring = astute vision of the wood and the trees = ability to see and tell the truth, like this nugget to be noted and considered...

Yay! A little win in a huge struggle against the biggest rising tide on our planet that humanity has ever seen, literally, environmentally, socially and spiritually. Keep building those little boats n bridges! This is one of them and I would have loved it when I was in school. 💚

Lowe is an overt white supremacist/virulent racist, whose party is full of neo-Nazis. Even for today's Conservative Party, this should be a source of shame.

There's something wrong with our justice system. We have people protesting against an ongoing genocide labelled as terrorists and we have councils and construction companies who prioritised profit over people's lives roaming freely within our society. 9 years passed still no justice.

Testing AI from research and analysis perspectives. Here's it's own reflection after promising the earth and failing miserably: AI works where verification is cheap and objective, and fails where verification is expensive and judgement-based. Code is the former. Research and analysis is the latter.

Kind and compassionate kettling of fascists and police, by much greater anti-fascist numbers, is an aim to which we should all aspire. It's a signpost to follow and a mission to be accomplished. A growing project with deep roots, good soil and a network across the nation. Who's in?

You don't say...

We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.

But remind me about that whole "two tier" policing bit where white supremacists actively engaged in an attempted pogrom to cause terror and achieve political ends were either ignored or charged with domestic criminal offences. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Sentencing protesters as terrorists when they have not been convicted of terrorism offences is massively concerning and flies in the face of justice. Their sentences must be reviewed.

"Part of a broader humanitarian crisis affecting Gaza’s children. There are more child amputees per inhabitant in the territory than anywhere else in the world. Tens of thousands of young people who are sick or injured remain in need of urgent medical treatment..."

Police were warned for months about the addresses targeted in Belfast riots

Seems like most people on Bluesky, in the UK at least, are looking where they should be to see the truth? It's learning how to talk (and listen!) to Reform voters where we really need to do the work.

If there’s one place that should definitely be very cold, it’s Antarctica in winter But the old certainties are gone now, the basic things we take for granted about our only home no longer exist They’ve been stolen and destroyed by those who believe nothing should stand in the way of making money

I’m very excited for this! On a summer evening in 1972, a pivotal generation of Harlem Renaissance legends gathered at Duke Ellington’s townhouse. The trailer for “Once Upon a Time in Harlem” is out:

The government must treat this as the emergency it is. Our sovereignty, democracy, and the lives of some of those who live here are threatened by a deadly combination of US billionaires, Russian interests and homegrown fascists. Step 1: Get the money out of politics.🧵 bylinetimes.com/2026/06/10/r...

About time too…

That’s how you frame this. It’s not complicated. Masked men did a racist pogrom against people of colour in Belfast. That’s what happened. bsky.app/profile/sidd...

Fascists in Belfast set fire to buildings with people inside them. People of colour left work early to stay indoors. This is being actively encouraged by the world’s richest man whose openly pro-white nationalist platform X is still used by the UK government www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

It is extremely important that racialised people in the UK know that white people will actively stand up against fascists There *is* a war happening in this country. These people want us dead or gone and they are not even hiding it. Anyone who wants to be anti-racist needs to stop pretending too.

⚠️ Reform UK are a threat to women's rights in the UK. ❌ We must stop them from ever reaching Number 10.

Almost a trillion $ pledged to supporting FF companies in 2025 Forget the IPCC scenarios - there isn't one for going into reverse Governments are rowing back on green measures and FF corporations planning for expansion The sh*t we are in just got much deeper www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“In Wales, all new profit-making in this sector was stopped in April, and the practice is being phased out altogether. But in England, the government seeks only to tweak this immoral and dysfunctional system.” Add your name to end profiteering in children’s care: weownit.org.uk/act-now/no-p...
