"Every life saved is a quiet revolution."

The words passed me by on a reel I now can't find, but folks we have to keep these words close. They're the ones that will allow us to see worth in effort no matter how little impact it makes on a larger society.

Small acts. One at a time. Done with love.

Politicians who change parties after election should have to win a special election to keep their seat. Let the voters decide.

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

No Bluesky, pretty sure there's an issue with your 'find similar accounts' suggestions.

They didn't want my blood, but they probably want yours! I went to give blood today, but due to a v minor medical issue they couldn't take it. Yet they told me they do need donors. As I couldn't help by giving, instead, I thought i'd publicise this... www.blood.co.uk

A reminder to all those who keep telling me that its wrong to say billionaires shouldn't exist; or that "its complicated".

Greed to that extend is a mental illness & should be treated as such. Its just hording with societal validation.

We have to demonize it if we want to change how things work.

I don't know how any of the emails/files/whatever are going to play out, but I have thoughts:

1. It's good that people can identify that sexual violence prevades every aspect of our society

2. It's good that people can identify how the ruling class uses sexual violence

3. This shit isn't funny

I've signed this cross party letter with many other politicians and leaders across civil society.

The Labour Government is making a disastrous mistake with nuclear weapons expansion - this will not make us any safer.

The opposite is true - more info below 👇🏼

My view. I see this and I think of Hookland myths and cautionary tales for those who dream with abandon and step off the trodden path.

They're going to crash the global economy by attempting to create an artificial general intelligence, despite having no idea what that is, no proof they can build it & no hope of doing so. Cunts just read too many sci-fi books.

Why would anyone think that justice intended in favour of society, is a bad goal? It's fundamental to a democracy.

What is the point of voting for someone if you dont want social justice? Just go lie down on a road and wait for everyone who doesnt give a shit to drive over you?

Are you an idiot?

The key takes... they want to crush aiming for better, for dreaming of better, for remembering everyone. When the people leading a nation talk about censoring the nation, you can pretty much tell they are only in it for what they can do for themselves.

If this is true - this should have happened a long time ago.

The Green Party alongside campaigners have been calling for this - and it's good to see maybe they've finally listened.
