Chronic lurker, people at work message and ask me for ‘a hammer and sickle chat’ when they want to check something or get info on our policy. I’m in a union, byline times subscriber for years, my social media is very angry politics and some hobbies.

so many situations where this could be said, so many different nouns that could swap in

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

And this morning the Shed is a great escape; climbing up out of the darkness onto a ladder of sunlight.

A thread about the WATU Wrens who transformed naval tactics in WW2, causing the withdrawal of all U boats. Tactics such as Raspberry eg blowing a raspberry at Hitler. Crack out your victory red lipstick for this one!

One thing I'm fucken sick of hearing is that people on the poverty line "don't want handouts." Well, the rich take hand outs. Maybe they're rich bc they were offered handouts. Maybe they're rich bc they take them. This "shame in receiving free money" for the poor but not the rich makes me SO MAD

This is never acceptable and needs to be rectified.

What you are seeing this morning over the refugee decision is Labour alienating and offending its remaining liberal supporters without bringing any new voters onside.

They are stealing from you to enrich their billionaire and corporate friends. They are stealing from you to enrich their billionaire and corporate friends. They are stealing from you to enrich their billionaire and corporate friends. They are stealing from you to enrich their billionaire friends.

Closer economic ties with the European Union will boost growth by up to 2.2 per cent, according to new economic modelling shared with members of the cabinet If Labour’s mission truely is “growth” they need to have an honest discussion with the public about this www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

The world is getting rough out there, friends. Remember to do any bit of good you can.

As if we couldn’t love Dr Lister any more than we already did.

I know you are frustrated, scared, stressed and angry. Put that energy where it can do something, even if it is simply annoying a Republican. Contact your representatives! (And if all you want to do is scream angrily, do that on their voicemail)

It started with conspiracy and propaganda then evolved into dehumanisation - spreading distrust, fear and disgust about the target. The powerless were given a group to blame, the illusion of power. The techniques used now are the same. It’ll only happen again if people let it. Sadly, they are…

When will Labour ministers in the UK stage their coup against Rachel Reeves? Richard Murphy thinks this is not just political gossip… @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Consider this if you're thinking of going back to TikTok.

It will be easy to fall into a pattern of dunking & reacting in these times. Performing disapproval can be a consuming pastime & it is not enough. Refuse to abandon vulnerable people. Build a rebellious culture of care. If you need help, @prisonculture.bsky.social and I wrote a book to assist you.

The fact that Trump's first move was to attempt to eradicate the concept of trans people from American Federal Government isn't accidental. The anti-trans movement is *the* wedge that fascism is using to crack open the path towards the eradication of the rights of everyone. It is white supremacy.
