Absolutely fantastic news today, I'm proud to welcome councillor Toby Benton, who left the labour party to join the Greens today.

Welcome home, Cllr Benton.

Out in Newham this morning with a fantastic group of campaigners working hard for their communities.

3 dedicated campaigners working hard for change

Back after some enforced time away from BlueSky. However, I'm not doing any 'age verification' at this stage in my life, so no point trying to DM me here .. use other known methods, thanks!

“Why is it always hard choices for working-class communities — not for multimillionaires and billionaires?”

I visited the waste recycling centre in Leeds a few months ago
I saw waste that could be exported or buried, being sorted, sifted, processed, ready to be transformed into something useful

The material that couldn't be recycled was turned into high-end aggregate

Oh, I've not heard them called fiddlenecks before, but I can see it. Also known as blue tansy or phacelia, I love growing them as a "green manure" & pollinator attractor in my vegetable garden - straightforward to save seeds each year too! Saw a field in Oxfordshire today myself, gorgeous.

How many of the people in this photograph are still known by name?

We’re reflecting on the roots of Pride: as a protest.

When hate is on the rise, and attempts are being made to erase us from existence, we call on allies this Pride month to stand with us. And we will continue fighting for our liberation: there is no environmental justice without social justice.

The only way to fight back against the far right is to reject bigotry and offer the real solutions to people's problems.

The Green Party needs to be that force, so Ekua Bayunu and I are standing together to be the party’s Equality and Diversity Coordinators.

"My parents come from the Caribbean. I sit with an embodied, deeply embodied, knowing of my truth, of our truth. And that energy, and how I choose to use my energy, is a very important concern when considering our responses." @drdianneregisford.bsky.social responds to Starmer's speech
#GreenChai

"The Global Majority Greens find the Prime Minister’s racist immigration speech made on Monday to be an example of a government that is deflecting from its own incompetence in managing the country’s economy."

A selection from OP:

Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer
Feminism Is for Everybody: Passionate Politics by bell hooks
Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon
Discourse on Colonialism by Aimé Césaire
We Do This Til We Free Us by Mariame Kaba
Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde ..

That's why you can't just jump into it carrying the same assumptions and toxic ways of relating as the majority of our culture. At bare minimum this requires some basic familiarity with liberation movements past and present and a cursory analysis of the power structures that underscore our culture.

It's concerning that so many people think resistance is some sort of club or fandom that you simply need to identify with in order to be included . But it's actually a set of actions and relationships that carry a whole lot of responsibility, including the responsibility to unlearn and relearn.

Heard so much praise for #Sinners movie. So I've booked to see it on the UK's biggest screen at #BFI Imax Waterloo this Saturday night!
#FilmSky

Today we showed up at Serco’s AGM to engage with shareholders and share an important message from someone subjected to 24/7 GPS tagging.

It’s time for Serco and its insurer Aviva to stop profiteering from the abuse of people on the move— until then, we’ll keep turning up the pressure. ✊🏽🔥

I have a new essay out today in @theguardian.com: www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

I’m not going to tell people how to feel about protests… at least not today.

Instead, I’ll recommend Sarah Schulman’s book about ACT UP. It’s not just a history of the organization; she also talks strategy in a very practical way, especially regard coalitions.
