I very much enjoy how often folks on Bluesky disagree, but instead of descending into insults, they explain their point of view calmly and move on.

Just as my Twitter-brain expects it to turn nasty, it doesn't.

Big tents: Normies joining the movement for liberation No movement against fascism will ever succeed if it’s not led by the left, because fascism is capitalism in crisis. But we also have to work with complicated, messy human beings.

Every day is a good day to bring people into the movement for liberation. Our job is to offer people like this a welcoming onramp towards organizing. Always "thank you for joining, and also here's some more information," instead of "what took you so long" ❤️

Trans children ‘will lose any hope of happiness’ under school gender guidance 'Trans children need to be supported and respected.'

The best headline I have seen on this in a major paper:

It's devastating to me how much public money is being wasted in the British legal system purely on maintaining maximally destructive stances on human rights in service to the political ideology of the regime.

Zack Polanski pressures Wes Streeting over Palantir after Mandelson texts released ZACK Polanski has piled fresh pressure on Wes Streeting over Palantir’s NHS contracts after the Health Secretary’s newly-released text messages…

A £240m defence contract without tender.

Their fingerprints all over our health care data.

A meeting in the USA but without any minutes.

Everything around Palantir stinks.

Since the #Olympics are on, let's repost a classic thread here: a brief history of the practice of "sex verification" in sport.

Content warning: This thread will mention anti-intersex discrimination, FGM practices and body shaming.

Reminding and educating our neighbors on the signs of Fascism.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Wow. Thank you for sharing.

If Epstein is Trending, Why Isn’t +1.7°C? The news cycle has become a hall of mirrors: Epstein, Trumpism, war, outrage, retribution. A thousand scandals designed to keep us anxious, tribal, and tired. We have to hold multiple truths at once: ...

"This is the hard truth I want to land: climate does not care what’s trending. It’s not interested in Jeffrey Epstein, Gaza, or Greenland. There is no algorithmic mercy. Physics is physics, and it is getting more abrupt."

If you're focusing only on the people in the Epstein files, you're missing the bigger picture.

You’re not wrong!💯

Rachel Millward with Cllr Brett Wright. A headline reads "Eastbourne county councillor switches political parties".

Extremely happy to be welcoming Cllr Brett Wright, who has defected to the Green Party from the Lib Dems on East Sussex County Council! We've had dozens of councillors defecting since May - more and more people are realising that the Greens are the future of progressive politics.

i think it sucks that online spaces really dont have safe spaces for kids. BUT we need more public spaces for children, especially ones that dont cost money

children deserve offline spaces and community

It will never stop being funny to me that the whole "you can't trust Wikipedia because anyone can edit it" scare happened and now Wikipedia is the only trustworthy website because it turns out profit motive is the reason things turn to shit.

Zack Polanski's ( @zackpolanski.bsky.social ) strongly worded open letter to Wes Streeting, rightly urging him to rip up the Palantir contract in light of the Mandelson Epstein revelations

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

A news article displays a photo of a person in a dark face covering and blue jeans being led away by two heavily armored officers in tactical gear, one wearing a gas mask, on a city street. The article's headline reads: "ICE Employees Vent on Reddit, Saying They're Not Getting Paid and Still No Insurance Despite Promises," with the photo caption stating "ICE in action in Portland."

Employees of a system built on exploitation did not expect to be included in the exploitation.
