The "campus free speech" and "cancel culture" panics were obvious efforts to seed the ground for a huge expansion of left-wing censorship and right-wing propaganda. That effort appears to have worked.

Just intervened in police using traffic stop powers (Section 163 and 165) to illegally seize drivers licences off delivery drivers and give them to immigration enforcement officers. As soon as I filmed them do it they packed up and fucked off. It's that easy to stop these pricks harassing people.

One of my favorite things about Bluesky (or at least my little corner of it) is that people are always sharing resources for taking action. So here's a pinned thread collecting those resources, some made by me and some made by others.

That this made-up graph looks like it's drawing a white whale feels pretty appropriate.

this was the ubiquitous tool for finding out information online to the extent that it's name became the verb for doing that, and then they invested all their money into a technology that replaces that usefulness with sentences like "whether tripe is kosher depends on the religion of the cow"

No -- although it always bears repeating: it would still be reprehensible even if it did.

Re: bird flu vs price fixing. Retail egg prices have ~doubled in the last 6 months, and there's no possible way that's just from bird flu messing with supply. Let's walk through the math!

I’m old enough to remember that shortly after the first Trump win, a Nazi salute performed in support of him at a white nationalist conference—not by any government official but just a supporter—was big news

The "we need to welcome disgruntled Trump supporters" push needs to be understood not as outreach (90% of those spouting it won't ever do any) but as trying to find an excuse to ditch the people most in danger to appease conservatives. This is a very real problem. It's a major reason we got here.

Thinking about philosophy I've read about the illusory continuity of personal identity and my life's trajectory from hating coleslaw to selectively liking only certain coleslaws to now just generally quite enjoying coleslaw. Who am I?

Call me a Luddite if you must, but I much prefer the days when people had bees in their bonnets.

Everyone is dunking on this quite rightly but I want to point out that one of the reasons that this "not racist but the voted for the racist party" thing doesn't work is that racism isn't actually about what's in your heart alone- it's about the things that you do. If you vote for nazis you are one.

Shutting down already-installed infrastructure in the name of government "efficiency" while also harming business competitors of a government official who just happens to have his own network of EV chargers.

A primary difference between anarchists and left/'progressive' liberals is the understanding that no one is coming to save us. We have to do it ourselves. I think lot of libs are going to realise that in the coming months, & our work as anarchists will be to embrace them w/o scolding their lateness.

The US media, the Democrats and the EU spent over a year making anti-semitism a meaningless political insult without real content and now these dudes can heil hitler on stage and journalists will be like "wow! Controversial gesture!"

So glad ScotRail is now publicly owned, so that we can have reasonable rail prices to encourage public transport and discourage driving.

Lads, can we not all keep assuming the person we're replying to has never done direct action? The first rule of doing direct action is not to talk about what you've done online. It'd be far easier to find comrades on here everyone didn't think they were the only person to have ever risked arrest.

Searched for news about this to see how it's being covered. One headline (not the Onion) was literally "Pro-Palestinian protestors clash with building company van outside Cardiff University"

Calling the Democrats “cowards” suggests that they're scared to do what's right when they show no fervent interest in being an opposition. They're largely colluders, not cowards. Many want their base to think they're cowards to maintain investment in the idea that they can be pushed to do better.
