I just sent the following letter to Shabana Mahmood, Secretary of State for Justice:

Dear Shabana Mahmood

I have just read the amazingly lucid and well articulated open letter from 5 women imprisoned, in my view pointlessly and maliciously, in HMP Send.

Prison is criminal
An open letter to Shabana Mahmood, Secretary of State for Justice and Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain, about prisons from Just Stop Oil activists currently behind bars.

Late in reading this, but still relevant.

"In March, the U.N. considered a resolution to establish an International Day of Hope and an International Day of Peaceful Coexistence. On both propositions, the United States voted “no.”"

This and also the Labour-interfering-in-the-police-decision-to-keep-the-people-of-Birmingham-safe-from-racist-football-hooligans story....
the fun thing about the BBC story is that I can't actually read about it for more than couple of minutes at a time because it makes me feel too insane :)
The worst you can accuse Panorama of doing is making a misleading edit – and I’d dispute that! – to make *a point that was true*.

The programme aired without anyone seeing any issues with the edit. It was on iPlayer for a year without complaints. Donald Trump *did* incite Jan 6th.

politicians, media and large institutions deciding to stop saying 'climate change' hasn't materially reduced public conern about it or support for actions to tackle it

turns out people genuinely do not want to be baked alive by the atmosphere they're in!!!
🧵/ How far does the public support net zero?

Support: 60%
Oppose: 25%

Net support by party
Green: +81
Lib Dem: +67
Lab: +64
Con: +11
Reform: -44

@waroncars.bsky.social latest episode on history of how US cities were transformed to sell more cars in the 1920s is great. Well worth a listen worldwide

Since the Paris Agreement, five oil and gas giants have caused $5 trillion in climate damage — while UK fossil fuel tax breaks still total £2.7 billion a year.

Small and medium-sized businesses want to act. Government policy must help them, not big polluters.

Fascinating pictures from the World War I home front. There were many ways to serve (and suffer)

Don’t forget, if you happen to be in Paris any time until mid December, I hope you’ll check out our unique EXHIBITION at Paris City Hall on bold climate action through better city-building! It was great fun and a big honour to collaborate with Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social & her great team on this.
NEW: “Canadian urbanist @brenttoderian.bsky.social teamed up with the city of Paris and, in particular, its mayor, @annehidalgo.bsky.social on a new exhibition that shines a light on cities and global climate action.”

Thanks very much @momentummag.bsky.social for the great questions! #Paris

The US Senate is a worthless institution that has, with a few very brief exceptions, been a reactionary force in the US for all its history, holding back progress, holding back the will of the voters, upholding a grossly oligarchic, patriarchal, racist hierarchy. Flush it down the toilet.
