This is excellent political messaging. @zackpolanski.bsky.social hits straight to the core of the problem. This system is intolerable and it must be overcome: production should be organized around human well-being and ecology, not around maximizing profits for the rich.

Byyyyyyeeeee. If we have to live in a deprived society so that you can be wealthy we'd rather not have that society designed around obscene wealth for the few and pain for the many. The UK won't get any better pandering to cries from the wealthy.

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

So I went on holiday to the Vendee, about a third of the way down France’s west coast, and it made me think a lot about @duncanrobinson.bsky.social’s “Britain, accept you’re a hot country” argument…
Map of the departements of Metropolitan France, with the Vendee highlighted. It’s on the west coast, just below Brittany (depending on whose definition you use) and the Loire EstuaryA farmland track in the Vendee, with a large piece of irrigation equipment in the foreground and a town with church spire and water tower in the background

I'd put it the other way round. Scientific method, as a human practice, is intrinsically value laden. What you choose to investigate, what you decide to measure, how you measure, what you ignore, how you deal with uncomfortable results, even who you allow to do it, are all soaked in values.

Why fund community organising? Great piece by Martha Mackenzie of Civic Power Fund. medium.com/civic-power-...
“Community organizing is not just a neighborhood thing, not just a minority thing, not just a 60’s thing. Many — especially those uncomfortable with a particular community organizing effort because it’s confronting them at the time — seek to ‘label’ organizing as somehow out of date or out of place. The fact is that the method, the strategy the science of community organizing has been applied all over the world in situations as disparate as Solidarity in Poland, Welfare Rights in the US and ‘communidades del base’ in Brazil. The simple principles of community organizing are being applied right now in the barrios of San Antonio and in the ghettos of Baltimore. They are winning victories and building power.”
