1 of 2 Alon Lee Green, Standing Together & Rabbis for Peace along w/ 100s of Israeli citizens & Palestinians helped a Palestinian family harvest their olives. (the 1st time since 10/7/2023 the family was able to do so due to previous settler violence). 🇮🇱✡️ &🇵🇸together☮️ @reuters.com @cnn.com @afp.com

Every study shows that decarbonising and *doing the things we legally agreed to do but needed Insulate Britain to remind us about* are cheaper for everyone and bring bills down. Cutting “The Green Crap” has only ever put bills *up* short term and long term. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

So you can buy Mein Kampf in UK but not Sally Rooney? What a bunch of complete arseholes in Gov in UK.
Sally Rooney’s stand on Palestine is brave and humane, writes Zoe Williams The Normal People author’s determination to support Palestine Action, even if it means that her books are withdrawn from sale in the UK, makes a mockery of Britain’s terrorism laws. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/o...

Again, the point is that these apologies rarely travel as far as the original lie(s). Solidarity and love to my friend and colleague @mothinali.bsky.social, one of the most gentle and kind people I’ve ever met. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Thanks boss, for standing by me and so many others!
My friend and colleague @mothinali.bsky.social is a hero, working to heal divisions. His win today against right wing smears is not only for him but for all global majority politicians whatever party they serve in their fight against lies and abuse. www.thenational.scot/news/2664344...

Stuff for drivers left on sidewalks for pedestrians is just another front in the #WarOnWalking.
The WAR ON WALKING has taken many forms around the world. It’s often as simple as how we signal who space is and isn’t for. Once our eyes are opened to all the ways we’ve prioritized cars over people, we can’t unsee it. Frustrating photo contributed by @stadsplanering.bsky.social. #WarOnWalking

Posts like this about biking in Dutch cities are routinely replied to with comments like “well, they have the big advantage of being relatively flat.” The Dutch also have the big advantage of not constantly making excuses about why they can’t make clearly smarter city-making decisions. #Leadership

We don't bring back hope again by burning the planet and giving in to the fossil fuel industry. Hope and a plan is bringing in wealth taxes, rent controls and investing in renewables. That's how we make hope normal again. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Interesting piece from @danneidle.bsky.social on whether Britain has "run out of other people to tax". Much is right: the UK taxes ordinary and low-paid workers lightly by global standards, and you can't fund a big state from the very wealthy alone. But it overclaims where it matters.
UK tax has gone up significantly over the last 25 years But the tax paid by the average UK worker has not This apparent miracle was achieved by taxing “other people”: higher earners, capital, property, banks, etc The strategy has run out of road A 🧵 on what happens next.

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.

Many Jewish people don't want non Jewish people telling us what to believe & say. For the Prime Minister to criticise the single Jewish party leader on Antisemitism demonstrates the lack of credibility and seriousness of Labour on the issue. www.thenational.scot/news/2604932...

In the news today, a cyclist on the pavement who killed a man is charged with manslaughter. By contrast, here's a van driver who killed a little girl. He was driving on the pavement: common, and illegal. Killed her. Only charged with dangerous driving. Fully let off. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...
