#UK the government are still using Twitter and not bsky despite the fact that the former is run by a racist liar who seeks to undermine democracy.
We should be writing to MPs and demanding they quit Twitter immediately.

The Guardian are reporting a significant increase in Jewish people voting for the Green Party.
It's almost like many of us grew up learning a history of persecution & violence.
We don't oppose the Genocide in spite of being Jewish but because of it.
Never again for everyone.

Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we remember the transgender lives lost to violence.

Sharing a Daily Mail article and turning off replies is pretty f***ING lame.
Remember, the daily fail is not acceptable as a source on Wikipedia.
It's THAT inaccurate.
If they are talking about Corbyn it's almost certainly lies and twisted facts.

"You can't tax billionaires because their wealth is tied up in assets."
Okay, so tax the assets.
"But then they would have to sell the assets to pay the tax!"
Yep! Brilliant news. Lower house prices.

These little wrigglers were spotted on Dartmoor in a pond created for natural flood management under our RRC project. While they might overwinter, we think they’re more likely to become a winter snack for local wildlife!

The Greens don’t believe providing safe refuge for endangered asylum seekers is an “out-of-control” policy.
Nor do we believe making life more difficult for those in need is the way to unify British society.
Refugees are welcome.

A Government of cowards.
Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

The fact it is stolen should be a clincher.
The fact it is destroying the planet should be a clincher.
The fact it makes it harder for humans to live should be a clincher.
But on top of all that, it's NOT ART! It's a soulless rehashing of human art with no human filter.

Because it is literally contributing to climate change. The amount of water and power required to keep the servers alive that these people use to make their art is obscene.
We need fewer computers making art, simple as.

...or, and hear me out now...they could try something radical like...telling the truth about the scale of this minute "problem" instead of aping Reform & thus pissing off what's left of their base.
And maybe lob in some facts about how this country needs inwards migration to function.
