Morning, Bluesky. Two days and a wake-up until the start of much-needed change in the UK. As there’s some confusion, here’s a tactical voting guide from The Progressive Alliance. Everywhere not mentioned, it’s safe to vote Labour.

Hearing a lot about people planning to abstain from voting because they think Labour are sure to win so they don’t need to vote. I have never heard of a dumber thing and if people have already forgotten that this is what enabled Brexit to happen, we’re beyond hope. (P Bell)

a thing to remember, in all of this horror, is that these are not the actions of a political party that is confident it represents the will of the people, and who is currently out of power and enslaved to a deeply flawed avatar. the struggle is not over and they have not won

I also called my senators and requested that they publicly call for the resignation of Thomas and Alito. You can, too. www.senate.gov/senators/

Thing is though, what would give me pleasure is to see the tories crushed, to see them driven before me and to hear the lamentations of their women. I feel like Labour might be instrumental in that coming to pass.

Just a reminder about the 🇩🇰 shoemaker ECCO. Today the new CEO is trying to whitewash their continued activities in 🇷🇺 Saying they are caring for the workers in 🇷🇺, 🇹🇭 and elsewere. Protecting their jobs 🎻 If everybody said that we would have no sanctions of 🇷🇺. A boycot of ECCO shoes is fair!

Attacks on my books have officially reached the point where I cannot keep up. The same list of 676 books is being taken on a road show across Texas with different angry group members loudly threatening school districts with lawsuits that would bankrupt their city. (THREAD)

It says a lot that the parts of Ukraine Putin said he wanted to liberate to protect the Russian speakers are the parts that Russia is pulverizing. Many Ukrainians who once favored Russia are either dead or hate Russia now. Great protection there, Putin.🖕

Trump’s conviction should be the end of his political career.

The Right violently rallying around him should be enough for some people to recognize we’re in a severe crisis and finally leave behind the comforting lies they’ve been sold.

Of course they should. Allowing them to form up, organise themselves and launch attacks across the border with no fear of retaliation is insane.

In evolutionary biology the idea of the gene as the main driver of selection has not fared well in the past few decades. The idea of good genes, and measuring genes to bring into the next generation as the unit of fitness (e.g., RA Fisher) is wrong--yet eugenics is very mainstream

Does anyone peer review anything anymore? 🧪 Or are we leaving that to SkyNet too, now? When the game is “publish or perish”, this is what happens. (The AI gen text, not the ethics violation - and tbh, I wonder if that actually happened or IT was AI gen, so as to overshadow sloppy oversight.)

If anyone voting in the UK GE is worried about ID, I want to highlight that expired ID is acceptable. I’ve a photo driving license but my passport happened to expire this month, so it’s good to know if you only have an expired form of ID, that still looks like you, it is acceptable to use.

When I first suggested to Boris Johnson that his Voter ID law was an attempt at voter suppression he dismissed it as "nonsense".

Now one of the Government's own ministers has finally given the game away

At the end of April, Kristo Vaga, Estonian Parliament member, will cycle from Tallinn to Kyiv in just 6 days. This journey isn't just about the distance—it's a powerful call to support Ukraine by raising funds for 2 trucks and FPV drones. Support the campaign here. ⬇️

I'm sure thst unless you follow Jewish media you have seen absolutely nothing about this but today a group of Isreali and US Rabbis were arrested at the Gaza border for demonstrating while attempting to bring a shipment of food to Palestinians. They are part of the group Rabbis for Ceasefire.
