Glad to join @acornlambeth.bsky.social for my first action tonight as we called upon Lambeth Council to end the use of bailiffs to collect council tax. The system is broken. It’s unfair and ineffective, with poorer homes paying disproportionately more than rich ones.

$750 billion of who's wealth destroy?
Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.
And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

X says Grok account will stop undressing women. I just tested the standalone Grok app, which immediately complied with my request to undress a photo of me. This is illegal, according to the legal experts I spoke with.

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

Elon Musk's AI bot is still churning out sexualised photos of women & children every 30 seconds or so upon request. I found myself reporting CSAM last night until 2am. I'm so angry about it all. There needs to be consequences for both the men requesting it and Musk, who has encouraged & co-signed it

Let’s not forget Gaza in 2026, moves like banning Oxfam & MSF are designed to cause more damage and kill more civilians.
“Let’s not call it deregistration, let’s call it a death sentence — that is exactly what it would be for the Palestinian people,” says @sana.msf.ca, MSF Executive Director, as Israel moves to bar nearly 40 aid groups under new registration rules.
