Hello Bluesky world!

It seems nice here, no nasty Elon Musk screwing it up?! 🤣

If you're into left wing politics, socialism or climate crisis please follow me.

Am trying to find my Twitter followers too!

How would you feel if:

- you ended up with a Reform MP after the 2029 General Election

- who only got 20% of the vote

- and over 50% of people in your constituency had voted LD/GRN/LAB/YP

- and this happened around the country giving Reform 400 MPs and total power

Don’t forget FPTP.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

More than just a bad apple: why we must look closer at the Nathan Gill scandal

New evidence connects the Ukrainian politician who paid bribes to Gill - Reform UK’s former leader in Wales - to a campaign to destabilise the US election

@carolecadwalla.bsky.social reports

The contact of Reform UK's Russian puppet Nathan Gill is linked to efforts to destabilise the US and Ukraine. Why, even now, is no one asking questions?

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

I said months ago that Badenoch was trashing a key convention regarding opposition in matters of security.

Today was sadly a continuation of it. Imagine declaring that it's UK criticism that has "strained relations with Israel", rather than Netanyahu's war crimes.

Desperate, immoral, and so cheap.

Alex Andreou @sturdyalex.bsky.social · Mar 5

Badenoch is treading an unasavoury line at #PMQs. She supports the PM, but not really. She supports Ukraine, but not really. She supports our troops, but not really.

I know it's difficult for LoTO to get noticed in a crisis, but her unpopularity and lack of grip does not override national security.

They are sweating.

From 2010-2024 the richest 1% tripled their wealth, gaining more than £2tn. Nearly £3m each.

While everyone else got poorer.

It's time for richest to pay, instead of you.

Someone said to me, "There's all these problem in the world, how can they be solved, it's impossible."

I told them, "Those 'problems' are all just symptoms of the only problem that we have."

"The richest have far too much money, and far too much power."

Elon Musk is now clearly writing Grok's replies to all the subjects that he considers important.

It's exactly the nonsense he posts on Twitter.

Getting a Saline Drip in the USA cost $800, and your insurance doesn't cover it.

Using an Ambulance costs $1500+$100 every minute, Insurance doesn't cover it.

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

1/ The Helix nebula, a.k.a. the Eye of God (C63), is another subject I’ve been tackling for 3 years—made challenging from my location due to a short seasonality observing window, skimming very low on horizon for only 3 hours right in the band of light pollution from my urban area.
