My thoughts on the financialcialisation of football in audio form w/ @sperishefuni.bsky.social. Many of the aspects discussed are also part of a forthcoming book on football and climate change w/ @markdoidge.bsky.social @berglundoscar.bsky.social @samtoscano.bsky.social @jennyamann.bsky.social

I'm in @jacobinmag.bsky.social today arguing for young climate activists to salt the just transition. "There must be the recognition that we cannot make the transformations needed if we don’t have an organized working class with a militant labor movement at its heart." jacobin.com/2025/11/orga...

I am beyond excited to announce that the applications are now open for the third Amsterdam Complexity School on Climate Change! Come visit a beautiful city, hear from world-renowned experts, and work with passionate individuals on challenges related to climate change. More info: acscc.nl

Såhär skriver polisen:”[Alcer ägnar sig åt] brottsliga gärningar för att få igenom en förändring som endast kan ske medelst politiska beslut och bedöms därför som ett hot mot den demokratiska grundordningen” Civil olydnad ses som hot mot demokratin - jag hoppas alla förstår hur farlig den synen är.

This is one of the most inspiring things I’ve been part of. 24 activists, practitioners & engaged academics from various disciplines got together for a week in July to discuss ways out of this ecological, political and social crisis. Here’s what we produced: short article with link to longer report

Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows. Does this sound familiar? Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

If the Labour Party cared about the Labour Party, they would sack Starmer, make Burnham leader and become social democratic. But I don’t think the Labour Party cares enough about the Labour Party.

Net zero by 2050 to limit warming to 1.5°C. That may have been plausible 10 years ago, but the continued rise of emissions means that there is effectively no carbon budget left for 1.5. It is cumulative emissions that drives warming. 1/6 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

My much-loved maternal grandmother was a centre-right voter and Amnesty International activist in Sweden. That’s an almost unthinkable combination these days.

Climate activists make us feel bad because they remind us of what we wish to ignore. So we punish them for it. But only fools get angry at a fire alarm when their house is on fire 🔥

US left-wingers celebrating a fascist authoritarian winning the Nobel Peace price because it’s not their own fascist authoritarian is one of the most US things to happen

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.

🧵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
