Why do the fascists want to keep you hooked on fossil fuels? Because it keeps them in power. If you don't need their fossil fuels, they lose a lot of that power. True for Putin, Trump and the Princes.
The smartest national security move now is to switch to renewables and electric transportation.

I'm trying my hardest and not doing badly. It's also making me think about if I really need things or not when I can't find things elsewhere easily enough.

Just ordered a book from my local Waterstones. Click and collect so I’ll get it on way home tonight. As cheap as Amazon. Also bought an instant camera earlier this week from Argos, cheaper than on Amazon. It’s proving very easy not to use the evil billionaire’s website. More of you should try it.

I have used Amazon once in the last 5 years or so and maybe 3x in the several years before that. And I plan never to again. It's doable! I recommend it!

I agree that boycotting Amazon is a good thing and is satisfying. I wish there was also way to boycott Amazon Web Services, but that seems to undergird a lot of the internet

How Hitler seized power:
— Demonize opponents.
— Create crises.
— Weaken the press.
— Declare a state of emergency.
— Undermine elections.
— Make the rule of law irrelevant.
— Rule by executive order.
If the U.S. falls, it will be because of those who sat on their hands.

For fucks sake, they're not even supposed to kill murderers in the street, they're supposed to arrest them and put them through a trial.
Because we have a Constitution that was written with the intention of preventing exactly what is happening right now.

Ukraine has signalled again and again it would agree to a meaningful peace proposal – even one that involved freezing frontlines where they are, at least de facto.
This “peace plan” is an attempt by Russia to get Trump to gift them Ukrainian land they failed to take by force.

The Government inherited an asylum system in meltdown, and had managed to at least get cases being processed again while ending the madness of the Rwanda plan. But the policies being announced today undermine all of that, making it harder for refugees to integrate and contribute to their communities

If someone has travelled thousands of miles, paying everything they own to an exploitative people smuggling gang, risking their life in a deadly channel crossing, I do not want to be the person who takes their last valuables – a mother’s necklace? A gift? – from them. And nor should the rest of us.

The problem after 14 years of damage wreaked by the Tories is that we now have a f***ed up BBC and a f***ed up NHS.
