Repeat after me: "trickle down economics" is a disgusting lie.

It is the exact opposite of the truth.
It came about so that billionaires could:

"hoover up (our) wealth" 🧹

under cover of darkness
or rather - in plain sight
ie taking the piss

wealth doesn't trickle down... value is hoovered up

If 2025 were Scrabble, we'd be acing it 🔤

"the left" that is
or, as I prefer to call us:
"the people"

Mahoosive thanks to

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

for GaZa & for all of us
for saying no to the killing🍉

People who don't understand (or won't accept) where we are, here now in 2025, will often accuse me of pessimism.

Those who have studied the science, systems, and the slide toward humanity's extinction, often think me foolishly optimistic

Realism is not an easy gig, at this point in history

Love this quote so much

May it be the gift to you it is for me ⛵️

It just occurred to me

What if Hope
and Earth 🌍

are one and same? 🌱

Both fragile, precious, vital, beautiful and easily trashed

Both in casualty/ICU/ITU atm ❤️‍🩹…

for now
holding on
but only just…

Thanks for
Keeping Hope Alive 💚

It’s hard to believe those at the helm of this nation are not hell bent on destroying everything. And us.

On what planet** is staying up drinking later good for us
it harms health, the NHS, effectiveness in our jobs, the economy, and communities

**other than a collapsing one 😢

Just been sent a glossy 'world-shattering' 💔 report:

"The Business Case for Decarbonisation"
who'd have thunk it ^ ^

Am old&ugly enough to know that reports like this have been churned out by top $2000 a day consultants since year dot (pale blue dot?)

Its a business premises continuity thing too🌎

No, @metoffice.gov.uk - it is not 'Storm Amy'

it is Storm Amoco... Storm Aramco

And the next one... BP...

Then Storm Chevron; Storm Denier... Exxon..

Many have been suggesting this, since 2000s

We're out of time...
as you and @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social well know...

but withhold from public:

Just STOP IT you THREE

(Emma Watson, JK Rowling, and also most of all, The blooming hate-filled hate-stirring Times)

Just stop it!

Some of us have a planetary climate and nature extinction event that we are trying to focus and collaborate on.
You know. Home. 🌍🏡

It’s currently on fire. 🔥

Sunday papers?

when billionaire media-owners refer to us all as

"the threat of" ... "THE FAR LEFT"

they are of course talking about.. all of us!

.. even incl all of the rich that they can't con.

While they anoint themselves:

"the centre right"

Don't be fooled humans" we're in this together

All's not well CB, all's not well.
Isn't it time to report the acceleration that's happening?

4degC by 2040 (broadly speaking 'game over')
is plausible, reasonable, terrible! (GHU)

Words as swords...

How capitalism made us into '*consumers*' of a '*throwaway* society' with "*disposable* income" to "*blow*" on a whim - and made *obsolescence* into a virtue.

And made our one Home planet disposable too.

The modest Moral Majority has been misrepresented twisted slandered and abused by the owners of the far-right media for too long.

They call us *MR* Moral Majority 🐗

As you've probably gathered...

I would say follow @defendourjuries.bsky.social

-for where it's at.

Good people... demanding good and fair laws be upheld

And daring to say genocide is not ok....

Opposing genocide is not an act or terrorism

Being complicit, is.

Question:

How come so many MPs somehow voted for ‘Palestine Action’ to be proscribed?

Despite knowing how utterly ridiculous and wrong this is:

eg Greenham Common Peace Camp Women were *PACIFISTS (and there were 1000s of them)
They were not *TERRORISTS ffs

What (or who) are MPs so scared of?
July 24, 2025 at 8:20 AM
We are all Palestinians
We are Palestine Action
We all want action 🇵🇸

This may be the last time you see me say this

Not because i stop (because it will be deemed terrorism, by the greedy few in Westminster with war criminal blood on their hands 🤝) no..

But because I may be disappeared for >10yrs
July 4, 2025 at 7:19 AM
Me reposting this
(below by @zarahsultana.bsky.social) again tomorrow - may be called Terrorism by @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social
and be punishable
with 10yrs in jail

Might hand myself in at local police station tomorrow.

@lowkey.bsky.social lyrics ‘they’re calling me a Terrorist’ say it all
July 4, 2025 at 6:32 AM
And yet, somehow it is Glasto, Kneecap, Bob Vylan, Palestine Action and Quaker grannies who are the problem @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

STRANGERS WELCOME HERE

“I was a stranger and you welcomed me. Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of my brethren - you did it to me." ~Matthew 25

So our PM is effectively telling Christ to leave the country!
Great work pal, great work. Bring back Jeremy Corbyn now.
