I really like Bluesky and was happy to find it some time ago once I'd left the other place. But and I can't post replies or create posts on my phone - I'm doing this on a laptop. I emailed Bluesky help but their suggestions weren't very promising and didn't help. How do I get some proper help?!!!

This is grim & dangerous over reach.
This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent.
Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

NEW: Home Office announces planned new anti-protest powers, mainly aimed at pro-Gaza protests like those for Palestine Action. Police will be able to consider the "cumulative impact" of repeated protests and potentially order that they be relocated.

Can anyone explain why the Government is still doing most of its communications through a website whose owner is now openly rallying the far right to trigger a violent insurrection on our streets?

"My colleague Pecksniff recently asked the question:
‘Why, in one of the ten richest countries in the world, do we feel so poor. Where did the money go?’
The answer is easy: it went to the rich.
But that is only the beginning of the issue. How did it happen, and what do we want to do about it?"

Taxing wealth is better than a wealth tax
Inequality of wealth matters more than inequality of income. We should tax the rich more. But a blanket wealth tax is not the solution.

It’s 2025 so please can people stop saying the following -

- what about misandry? (In convos about misogyny)
- U.K. shouldn’t do anything about climate change until China does.
Bore off back to 2017.

Well worth reading. In my opinion, the current US administration is so far from even remotely reasonable that any countries with half decent values need to stick together... against the common enemy.

Trump's blocking of intelligence and satellite imagery that Ukraine was using to defend itself is the final straw. The rest of the world needs to boycott and even sanction the US until Trump does the right thing. Impractical I guess but ultimately necessary - he must be stopped.
