This is why we must @defendourjuries.bsky.social "BREAKING: GANTRY CLIMBERS NOT GUILTY" 'A jury found Sam, Isobel & Rachel not guilty of public nuisance at Guilford Crown Court today, after they climbed gantries above the M25 in 2022 The jury decided they had a reasonable excuse for taking action'

The BBC should not be run by people who have donated hundreds of thousands of pounds to a political party. But it is. It’s actually mad! Lisa Nandy, time to get impartial people who have a stake and love of the arts, to run the BBC.

I will say it is rumour & speculation but an ex Soviet spy chief has accused Donald Trump of having been recruited by the KGB under the codename of 'Krasnov'. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

Elon Musk is starting to risk getting Jess Phillips killed. She's been safeguarding minister for six months. She oversaw nothing relating to the rape gangs. As an opposition MP she was one of the most prominent campaigners for the victims. What he's doing is a travesty.

All the Right wing papers who never said anything about Charlotte Owen are complaining about Sadiq Khan because they are racist.

I’ve started a starter-pack of journalists and writers who have covered or are regularly covering complex chronic illnesses, in particular #MECFS and #LongCovid. Let me know who else to add. go.bsky.app/3h656sJ

There are 60+ geographic sites, 25 monuments, 40+ schools, 25 hospitals, 60+ roads & bridges, two train lines and an Antarctic area twice the size of the UK named after Elizabeth II. It's of no disrespect to the late Queen to say we don't need to spend £46m of scarce taxpayer cash to remember her.

Hello everyone. I am now on this platform for social media. Do please repost this message so that more people can find me!

So I just posted this on Twitter & asked for views on it & the BlueSky exodus? Isn’t it just ceding ground to Musk? Zelensky didn’t pack his bags & decamp to Poland. Tell me why I’m wrong. www.theguardian.com/media/2024/n...

Here's that indexing page I said I was going to sort out. There may be a few broken links but I'm sure that isn't the case. I added a search function to the page, but that could use some work.

Maybe we’ll do a BlueSky Listening Party one day 😉

Please if you are a Twitter connection and see this post, wave at me here as I’m struggling to find people who’ve told me on the hell site that they’ve also followed me here. I’m not being rude! I am winding down Twitter with a view to being free of it and deleting the app by the end of the year.

I have started collecting names for #FBPE Starter Packs and Top 500/1000 follower league and will do daily follow back posts. Like and/or Repost in you would like to be added. This is be opt-in only.

Go on then. I did it quickly though so probably forgot loads go.bsky.app/TXDwH9E

After trying to see it through the Musk era, I’m wrapping Twitter up over the next week. The aggro & toxicity has all got too much. I did give it my best but it’s started to affect my mental health & the place has been poisoned by racists, anti-LGBT+ nutters & Muskbots. Blue Skies ahead (hopefully!)

X friends: Let’s connect on here too. Just getting set up but will get round to following back! Keen to replicate the community from there on here: we all know it may become a need not an optional extra. Pls repost so we can all find each other as it doesn’t seem as easy as on X.

Hello Twitter renegades (from back when it was good). Looking to follow some likeminded folk on here. Please re-Tweet 😘
