We crush the far right by prescribing (funding) equity for society, ffs. Why are politicians so economically illiterate? It's almost like the've hijacked democracy, ffs.

I signed the letter calling for the release of Marwan Barghouti. Overnight, I've received some 2,000 attack emails, identical text but different purported senders and subject headers. Still coming through now. Other signatories also getting it. Definitely an op. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

EU politicians will decide on Wednesday whether to go ahead with the ban on words like burger and sausage for plant-based foods. That means we have one last chance to show how unpopular – and absurd – this policy is. Act now and see what you can do on savetheburger.org

Pathologically greedy colonialists developed capitalism into a dark art. Now capitalism, sponsored by pathologically greedy billionaires and shareholder 'value' at any cost, contaminates every aspect of our daily lives. Air we breathe. Water we drink. Food. Even our unborn developing in the womb.

Israel Lobby EXPOSED: What REALLY Happened at the BBC

NEW 🚨: Two of the biggest climate villains of our time have teamed up to pull off what could be a £1.3 billion tax dodge. Shell and Equinor are forming a new joint venture, Adura, which will be the new owner of the Rosebank oil field 👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/disr...

What about targeted screening for being a tory twat? That's far worse than prostate cancer.

Two billion kids would REALLY appreciate it if we did more about this than just make a few non-binding promises every year & then instantly forget about them. #COP30

It's a good idea to control how much people drive cars regardless. Increase fuel duty too, to continue using it at a tool to limit excessive, wasteful fuel use (air pollution) and make ICEVs less affordable. Factor in all costs, that is. The best option is to opt out of private car ownership.

By opting out of car ownership, people could save a fortune therefore afford to contribute more towards funding society, including towards funding clean publicly-owned electric mass transport systems free at the point of service. It's not rocket science. Private car ownership is not sustainable.

Equinor's intention is that "no oil will be left on the Norwegian shelf." Now's a very good time to boycott petrostate Norway and seize all the Nordic oil oligarch's assets in the UK. They use their filthy oil fund ti parasitise the UK economy while British children go hungry. It's time to 🖕🇳🇴.

Norway says it is committed to standing up for the human rights of Palestinians. Norwegian companies have been instructed not to contribute to Israel’s illegal occupation. And yet its state oil firm Equinor is determined to push through Rosebank - which will do exactly that🧵

Elon Musk, one of the world's richest pub bores and one of the most unsuccessful human beings alive, promised a $trillion if he can increase the shareholder 'value' of unsustainable private car ownership. A $trillion if he can promote unsustainable consumption at any cost to our environment.

How thoroughly ridiculous!

1. This is a thread on freedom, and how easy it is to lose. Over the past 2,000 years in Europe, there have been few periods and places of freedom. For much of the time we lived under highly oppressive tyrannies of various kinds, whether small or grand, local or imperial, secular or religious.🧵
