RSPCA is a more pet friendly version where workers have done this and unrelated to corporate exposure to the empire

I’ve been involved in bargains where workers vote up to ban compliance with social media policies. The social media crackdown then gives this more salience.

Godfrey Moase @godfreymoase.bsky.social · Sep 18

This uses the cowardice of management and capital and turns it into an advantage for workers.

Godfrey Moase @godfreymoase.bsky.social · Sep 18

Of course, this opens up a new form of protected industrial action where workers vote up a ban on compliance with social media policies and basically @ the dictatorship.

The land of free speech in the sense that you will be free of a salary if you speech.

This is a political attack on the free expression of writers and artists.

By her own definition, with apologies to Douglas Adams, she should now have her office funding cut and disappear in a puff of logic

One could be forgiven for being confused about current definitions of anti-semitism.

It's not a 'clash' if it's neo-Nazis storming a group of people - it is an attack. Also, it's always ok to punch a Nazi. Hope that helps.

Elon’s ongoing breakdown is quite the case study in why the capitalists themselves need liberation from capitalism.

Whenever I hear any labour movement leader making it about themselves or any other single leader, I think of these words from The Internationale:

“No saviour from on high delivers

No faith have we in prince or peer

Our own right hand the chains must shiver”

Godfrey Moase @godfreymoase.bsky.social · Aug 27

For the first time today, I broke workers up into small groups to talk about a company offer and how they are feeling at a mass meeting. It was a mass meeting where every worker got to have their say and connect with co-workers.

It’s certainly a muscle memory and fitness kind of thing
