If you’re feeling hopeless right now, the answer is to get involved in direct action.
It’s hard to think things can get better if you’re primarily waiting for *other* people to take action. But if you’re seeing the benefits of everything you’re doing? There’s hope everywhere.

If a woman gets shot in the face and your first reaction is to say: "yes, but did she provoke it?" you need to give yourself a shake.

I was invited onto a podcast today and argued that the Norwegian Greens should stop being deferential to the Labour party here and get serious about replacing them, inspired by what Zack has shown is possible
No interest in working with Keir Starmer. The public know who he is.
We're replacing Labour - and taking on Reform.
No vested interests. Just standing with the 99%. And that's powerful.

Greens could join pact with Labour – but not while Starmer’s in charge, Polanski says
Exclusive: Zack Polanski tells The Independent that doing a deal with a Starmer-led Labour Party would ‘lead to a worse version of Nigel Farage’

We truly live in an age without political leadership. The only time Labour will do the right thing is when they are publicly shamed and bullied into it. Not a great look for a democratic country

Asked to share government messaging on the platform, Labour MPs responded asking why they were still on there when it had put "children in harm's way" and is being run by a "fascist"

Det er Russland og an autoritær alliansen som jobber målrettet med dette. Vi har gjort det altfor lett for dem å lykkes
Det brukes så jævlig mye tid og båndbredde i samfunnet vårt på å snakke om barn og så utrolig lite tid på å snakke om hva slags propagandamaskineri som retter seg mot å radikalisere voksne folk på internett med stemmerett og viktige jobber. Denne "personen" har vært i feeden til folk du kjenner.

Leieprissjokk: Nesten 20.000 kroner i måneden for Oslo-leilighet
Leieprisene i flere av Norges største byer har steget kraftig i 2025. Eiendom Norge mener det gjør det vanskeligere for Norges Bank å få renta ned.

When I tell people about my niece who works on the forensic journalism team of the Washington Post, the normal next question is 'what's that?'
It's this kind of thing. The NYT is fast out with this which is important because it's an unfolding political scandal as well as a tragedy.

U.S. leftists have basically nothing to contribute but nihilism and can't stand it that they don't get to wallow in their victimhood any more without being called out on it from the rest of the world. We don't want to die in a nuclear war, sorry if that means you need to shitpost less and organise

I was too young to vote in the last referendum.
It’s been 30 years.
The people who were barely 18 at the last referendum are 50 now.
Us still under 50 need a say in our future too.
