Big news from Labour Conference: the PM has announced the government's plan to scrap first past the post. Seats that match votes would change British politics for good, but only if it happens. I've added my name. Join me? action.electoral-reform.org.uk/page/201578/...

The PM used his big speech to promise to fix Westminster's broken voting system.
We've heard promises before. I've signed to make sure this one is kept. It takes 30 seconds

In this week’s video, I’m giving you a simple roadmap for choosing where to focus, finding the right people, and taking action that you can actually sustain. bit.ly/4rDnCvC

Why You Feel Stuck In Your Activism (And What To Do About It)
👉 Watch the free masterclass, How to Stop Guessing How to Make a Difference, right here: https://gaialeadershipproject.com/stop-guessing-masterclass Are you practicing effective activism but still feel stuck? Learn why taking action during challenging times requires trust. Many people who participate in free webinars or initial training sessions often find themselves stuck when it comes to deciding their next move. The news cycle feels heavy, and the urge to do something can quickly lead to paralysis if you do not have a clear direction. This video addresses that confusion, helping you move toward more effective activism and past the feeling of being overwhelmed. We discuss how to ground your efforts in trust rather than just reacting to every headline. By focusing on community organizing that aligns with your capacity, you can sustain your commitment to social change while overcoming burnout. This is about finding clarity in your strategy so you can actually move the needle on the issues you care about. Subscribe for weekly leadership breakdowns and let me know in the comments: what is the biggest barrier you are facing in your work right now? ______________________________________________________________________________________ BOOK A RIPPLE EFFECT FIT CALL: https://calendly.com/ecmclaughlin/strategy-session SUBSCRIBE (and don't forget to hit the thumbs up and comment!): https://www.youtube.com/@RippleEffectInstitute READ MY ESSAYS ON POLITICS AND ACTIVISM ON SUBSTACK: https://newsletterwithecm.substack.com/ FOLLOW OUR SISTER CHANNEL ON POLITICS, LAW, AND BREAKING NEWS: https://www.youtube.com/@resistanceliveecm BUY MY BOOK: https://amzn.to/3jM8SMF JOIN OUR MAILING LIST to get updates: https://gaialeadershipproject.com/ LET'S CONNECT ON SOCIAL: BLUESKY: https://bsky.app/profile/ecmclaughlin.bsky.social INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/ecmclaughlin/ MEDIA and SPONSORSHIP INQUIRIES: https://gaialeadershipproject.com/contact *Disclaimer: Some links are affiliate.

The US seems to be unable to come down on the right decision on anything. I am so sad that a place I loved and visited several times has become a literal hell hole. Execution is carried out exclusively by failed states.

It’s easy for Rayner to say intimidation by masked men in black is not acceptable and that using social media to incite them and make attacks on lifeboat volunteers is not acceptable but what is the home office and the police services going to do about it? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Netanyahu made a trip to UAE yesterday, pleading with President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed to publicly deny Haaretz and NYT reporting that he personally warned him, 10 days before October 7, 2023, that Hamas was planning a major attack. The UAE refused. apnews.com/article/isra...

Ranting about sanctions on illegal settlements does NOTHING for those Palestinians being blown to pieces or starved in Gaza. Nothing for the Palestinians in detention being raped by Israeli monsters. Nothing to stop arms sales + nothing 2 send a clear message that the UK stands against the #Genocide

Not paying the license fee simply isn’t enough. I like some BBC content. The news from BBC is largely but not exclusively garbage. It does however make US news look like something from a dystopian movie Surely Burnham could do something about this I used to love the BBC I won’t hold my breath.

If black magic or witchcraft actually existed, Trump and many of his sycophants would be dead. If God actually existed, the same would apply. If I had the power to control Trumps future he would contract locked-in Syndrome over the next 40 days and live with it for at least 10 years. I hate him.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.
