1. You feel powerless? Don’t know what you can do to resist the rise of fascism?
Here is an answer: Good Things.
Fascism inflicts pain and harm as a matter of doctrine.

It was rather surreal to see the remains of a ducking stool today in St Peter's Church, Myddle. Described as 'The Oldest Known remedy for evil tongues'. It was often used against 'unquiet women' and witches. They were dunked in nearby Marton Pool. This one dates from the 1660s.

Horrific but interesting. Thanks for sharing. Next time I'm in Myddle I'll take a look

Had a brilliant lunch with @francescrook.bsky.social & others at Brixton Prison's Clink restaurant today, staffed by serving prisoners. Delicious food, and a good opportunity to interact with the humans usually 'out of sight, out of mind'. Shown to reduce reoffending. Society needs more of this.

This #poverty is the most fundamentally important determinant of health and in the case of our children their future life chances .. this should be the government’s number one #publichealth priority if we’re serious about reducing health inequalities.. needs action not rhetoric!

We really need a kinder world...not a less kind one. Talk to Trans people, build understanding, learn to be an ally because if this trend continues they are really going to need supportive friends

The streetlights going out over Britain tell a brutal story: austerity isn't over – it's getting worse | John Harris Labour won’t achieve its aim of reviving the UK’s economy until it takes the plight of cash-starved councils more seriously, writes Guardian columnist John Harris

Shropshire needs a fairer funding formula from central government to save local services. Very sad to see Shropshire highlighted in this article...tougher times ahead for rural counties
