Not In Our Name (NION) Women @nionwomen.bsky.social · 6h
Sometimes, we say enough is enough. We are tired of the hate, the harm, the division and the misrepresentation. This is just one of 113k cis women who signed and spoke. If you feel the same, and know others who’d agree, please sign and share: notinourname.org.uk
Blonde haired women smiles. She says “I signed because it was a huge relief to find a group of women who feel the same way I do. Some women are uncomfortable with the negative stories we keep being told about trans people — I am one of them. 

I’m proud to call myself a NION woman”

Our planet is heating faster than at any time in the geological record. That's terrifying. But here's the hopeful part: most of us are worried and want action — we just stay silent, assuming no one else cares. 7 in 10 people rarely or never talk about it. So the silence feeds itself

A FlyDubai plane issued emergency signals while heading towards Tel Aviv and IDF jets were scrambled in response. The cause: the two FlyDubai pilots had a brawl.

Our response to Andy Burnham's Labour Party Conference speech 💬 #TaxTheSuperRich
We welcome the Prime Minister's vision to bring hope back to our country and communities.
And we repeat our longstanding message: we're ready to play our part by paying our fair share, so Britain gets the investment it needs to make that vision a reality. 
This country helped to build our success. So millionaires like us must be taxed more. It's our turn to step up first and help build a better future for everyone.

Just tax the compute. Datacentre? Cool. Fund your own power generation and water reservoirs, and then pay tax for every computational act your datacentre does. And we'll use the tax income to offset societal and job damage. Overnight, AI becomes something AI giants are desperate to restrict.
