A billionaire can get what they want with one donation to a political party. The rest of us must fight for years to get even the most basic rights recognised. Money destroys democracy, more than any other cause. The first step towards a better world is to stop the rich buying political outcomes.

When I meet and make a fuss over a puppy I haven't met yet, and have a nice chat with the owner, I've been walking away and ending that chat with 'have a nice dog'

Petrolheads are seen as just another group of hobbyists. In truth, they're a danger to society. The accidents they cause, the pollution and noise are just part of it. There's also an associated politics: toxic, selfish, macho, climate-denying, often far-right. For their "fun", everyone suffers.

Facebook for memes, Instagram for political education, YouTube for videos, reddit for discussion, and bluesky for soundbites? It's feeling a little superfluous to my social media diet.

The only response to "trans people in sports/bathrooms??" should be "this does not affect your life in any way at all and is a set of dangling keys intentionally distracting you from the confirmed pedos who are robbing our pockets and poisoning our rivers for their sick addiction to power"

The Greens are offering a different kind of politics – one that offers a sense of solidarity, camaraderie, and agency in an age of individualism. Contests like this don’t just give us hope. They make us feel we’re part of something bigger than ourselves. graceblakeley.substack.com/p/the-ground...

The Ground Game is Back
In an era of fractured politics and collapsing trust, grassroots organising offers the left a path to victory.

What I need you all to understand is that America has always been fascist. This particular flavour of fascism is the most virulent we've seen, but it hasn't come out of nowhere. American politics and society has had a fundamental undercurrent of fascism since its inception. This is just metastasis.

It's brave of Reform's Zia Yusuf to help @zackpolanski.bsky.social set out some Green Party policies. Thanks, Zia. Oh, and btw - you’re right. We do need to get behind the only party that can save this country: join.greenparty.org.uk.

At a certain point, some stuff just can't be meaningfully improved. Fridges and washing machines do what they're supposed to. Shoving computers into them is scraping at fractional, hollow gains. Meanwhile, the global south is looted for minerals and our landfills overflow, and we're still unhappy!

My new favourite thing, upon recognition that my time really is less important than that of others, and after driving way more carefully anyway while in my van, is to let basically everyone in in front of me. It makes driving so much more pleasant an experience.

We think of our conscious minds as if they're the rider on a horse, but our studies into neuroscience show that they're just telling stories about the journey, so our consciousness is more like the hat on the riders head.

When anyone promotes capitalism / colonialism by pointing out 'we built the roads & trains in X country', point out that such transport links almost exclusively run from mines etc to trading ports, ie in the interest of extraction by foreign multinationals rather than servicing local interests.

Why would, or should Hamas disarm entirely while the IOF remains fully armed and liable to break the ceasefire like they have done many times before?

Spain has implemented an arms embargo against Israel, showing how it’s done. Every other state that does not follow suit, and which continues to supply arms to the Zionists, must be understood as not only complicit but a partner in the genocide.

The killing of Charlie Kirk is getting more widespread condemnation and sympathy than 5-year-old Hind Rajab who was shot at 355 times by an Israeli tank in Gaza. Are Palestinian life’s worth less than politicians?

Hearing a good few liberals saying 'but he had a wife and kids'. I don't have a wife or kids, so the direct implication is that his life matters more than mine.

The absolute worst of the world of leftism can be found on reddit. R/marxism and r/asksocialists are the very epitome of the worst kinds of stereotypes of tankies and are an embarrassment to socialism.
