Capitalism accelerates inequality, degrades nature and empowers oligarchs. We can do better.

Questions about the relationship between obesity and fast food are now shadowed by another question: has this data been doctored? It is an uncanny feeling to be made a stranger to one’s own discipline. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/fe...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

40% of the mass of everything transported by a ship in 2023 was a fossil fuel. That stat paired with this new study shines a pretty harsh spotlight on how obscenely bad-faith the right-wing concern trolling around offshore wind + whales is www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

60 years of martyrdom, 100 years of life. With respect and longing for a sincere man

Pathetic. Truly pathetic.

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

Starmer's Labour has no redeeming qualities. None. Fuck this for a lark; I'm off to get bladdered.

A fascinating video which details how journos fear of appearing biased led to the rise of Hitler. The only news sources which were unequivocal about the dangers of Hitler and reported him accurately were at their time derided as ‘activist news’, which was seen as inferior to neutral reporting.

Happy International Mother Language Day! 21 February is commemorated around the world to honor the right to speak one’s native language because Bangladeshis fought for the right to speak in Bengali in 1952. Ekushey February honors those sacrifices. Details here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interna...

late new year’s resolution be more like this nun

To understand Musk, you need to know the world he grew up in, and the vengeance he fully intends to wreak on you.

’m a big fan of @kingsplacelondon.bsky.social and its programming, so am really disappointed to see it hiring its space out to the arms and defence industry, notably those fuelling conflict, death and human rights abuse around the world. defenceinspace.com#sponsors

As cars get bigger, so do the risks. People hit by larger cars when walking or cycling are far less likely to survive. @cleancitiescampaign.org needs your help to stop #Carspreading! Find out how: https://buff.ly/4gCta2z

Climate change is here. More floods, high winds, temperature extremes and fires. We have no room for complacency, reducing C02 emissions is increasingly a matter of survival!

UK electricity is now coal-free. This wouldn't have happened without huge amounts of activism, especially the movement that stopped new coal power stations in 2008/09. My latest article for @newint.bsky.social celebrates that victory & asks what future doors it might open: newint.org/mining/2025/...

Too much moralism in climate change action, we need to cut emissions and adapt instead of guilting people. We need cheap renewables and proper insulation, instead of telling people to wear thicker jumpers or eat less food!

Why Marxism? Marx's work is more relevant than ever in an age of Musk and Trump. A world fit for billionaires is toxic to humanity and the rest of nature. #SocialistSunday #MarxistMonday

The Philippine government is increasingly prosecuting civil society groups and activists for terrorism financing based on scant evidence. Filing baseless charges and freezing assets have disrupted legitimate activities of civil society groups: bit.ly/4i4u8pt

Thought for the day.

My understanding is, to be frank slight, but finding Christopher Norris' guide to Badiou's Being and Event, powerful and thought provoking.

God, imagine the pickles 👀 I love the Soviet power

📰 Thanks to @financialtimes.com for publishing our call for the cost of public charging to fall, to unlock the next wave of EV adopters 🚗 We're doing a trial w/ @octopus.energy funded by the Department for Transport to understand the £ elasticity of public charging demand 👀 Results out in April!

Trump's doctrine is one of cruelty, personal greed and stupidity. Everyday he works to degrade humanity, increase poverty and to destroy nature. Every compromise with Trump is a compromise with evil. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Very sorry to hear that Young Struggle comrades in Paris have been attacked by fascists. A brilliant revolutionary youth organisation inspired by Marx and the Rojava Revolution! They demand our unstinting solidarity.

Internationalist:innen in Rojava haben ein Buch über gefallene Weggefährt:innen geschrieben. Das auf Englisch verfasste Buch „Martyrs never die – The internationalist heroes of the Rojava Revolution“ soll in weitere Sprachen übersetzt werden. anfdeutsch.com/kultur/buch-...

Solidarité avec l’organisation kurde Young Struggle et les camarades de la CGT attaqués hier soir par des neo-nazis à Paris alors qu’ils projetaient un film antifasciste. Un militant CGT a été poignardé. Toujours aucune réaction de Bruno Retailleau. Abattons le fascisme !

Attac France exprime son soutien à Young Struggle Paris qui a subi une attaque d’une extrême gravité par des militants d’extrême droite. 🔴 Rendez-vous, ce lundi à 18h Gare de l'Est.

Are there any volunteering opportunities in Swansea you know of atm? Am helping a lady who is so capable but currently in asylum application. She has experience supporting women with domestic violence, an MSc in medical science, speaks three languages and just wants to be of use ❣️.

Wow!

Loving the solar powered EV charging at Five Rivers in Salisbury. We need more of this!

The crackdown on transgender people by the far-right Trump administration is about oppressing a marginalized community, yes. But it's also about policing all gender expression that complicate reactionary myths of what's "traditional" and "natural." www.aaronrosspowell.com/p/trans-righ...

Luigi Mangione has a website now. "I am overwhelmed by - and grateful for - everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support. Powerfully, this support has transcended political, racial, and even class divisions..."

A very clear response from London Fire Commissioner, Andy Rowe to a question at Fire Plenary last week from Emma Best AM about the impact of LTNs on fire brigade attendance times. "We genuinely couldn't find any evidence of LTNs doing anything to our overall attendance times".

The decarbonisation of UK electricity supply is the only good news here.

Fossil fuel giants are forcing gas on Africa in the name of ‘development.’ The reality? Destruction, displacement, and debt. We BOLDLY say #DontGasAfrica.
