I've said a few times now that the gameplan of Fascism 2.0 looks to me like overt fascist cuntery powersharing with neoliberal "moderates", alternating control for the greater stability of a kayfabe democracy. This looks awfully consistent with that.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

🟢 @irisduane.bsky.social elected to represent Glasgow region! Iris is one of three Scottish Green MSPs elected in Glasgow today, taking our total across Scotland so far to 10!

Anyone still questioning why Farage's Reform did so well? The majority of the British public have no idea how politics work in this country, they listen to our press and its lies and believe every word. If there is to be real change we have to take on our media.

"For the first time, New York City has a mayor who has made riding a bike a seemingly genuine part of his political identity." Yes, however, I think it's more that Mamdani has made *not driving* part of his political identity. This is a man who gets around like most New Yorkers do.

Spoiler alert: Changing the fuel source doesn't fix the problem of cars in cities.

So jealous because here in Philly it's been 2 years since a Doctor was killed in one of the busiest bike lanes in the city and our Mayor Cherelle Parker has yet to even change a single thing about those streets. What an embarrassment of a Mayor we have.

Painful listening to @bbcscotlandnewsnot.bsky.social , economic analysis, of tax/economy/public services. They are such low IQ understanding of how we organise resources.

Choosing vegan means choosing peace over violence, respect over oppression, and justice over habit. It means refusing to let convenience excuse unnecessary suffering. It also means recognizing that plant-based foods are not a sacrifice, they are an opportunity to live more consciously and more...

So I'm hearing Airdrie might be the first area to report a result. I'm fearing a big Stop the Boats vote from the nautically concerned 🥹

As a relaxed vegan and black coffee enthusiast, I concur.

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

No one expected Keir Starmer to solve our pressing problems overnight. But what we did expect – and had every right to expect – was that he would lay out a clear vision and roadmap for doing so. Instead, we’ve had drift, appeasement and a startling absence of ideas, values and ambition. 🧵1/6

I'm not a fan of using fines as operational revenue as you'd hope offences would drop off as people learn. But £56k to buy and equip this vehicle and it's earned double that investment within ONE month. Why aren't all councils doing this? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
