1. The difference so far (and for god's sake let's keep it that way) between X and Bluesky is not between right and left but between abuse and respect.
A good society is built on mutual respect. But what does this mean?
A short thread.🧵

Tory shysters have absolutely no understanding of the economic realities faced by farmers. Their sole objective is to protect the landed gentry from inheritance tax. They'll keep droning on, even after Angela Rayner laid it out for them in simple terms.

I created a montage of Tulsi Gabbard showing deference to Russia, a hostile foreign power. The U.S. did NOT destroy the Nord Stream pipeline. Russia has threatened its neighbors. Ukrainians want to defend their country. NATO benefits the US and the EU

Yes, if scientists can stop us from emitting 40+ billion tonnes of CO₂ every year.

No amount of CO₂ removal, solar radiation modification, or synthetic fuels will help unless we stop burning fossil fuels.

If anyone is wondering what Trump and his band of grifters with no experience want to do to our government Sean Hannity went down the list. It sounds a lot like Project 2025, that blueprint Fox News claimed Trump had nothing to do with.

In the weeks since the election, we’ve begun to see just how far corporate media will go to appease the man who, for nine years on an almost daily basis, has maligned the profession of journalism and put individual journalists in danger. (Sorry about the picture):

I gave the Alternative MacTaggart lecture back in August at our TV industry festival (I’ve worked in this industry since 1982 and have lived through the changes)

It has since created ripples 👍🏼

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.

If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

The only 'fight' we have left that will make any difference is a nationwide strike and walk out. Shut it all down. Everything. Anything less, is just commentary and will have the other side laughing at us. No violence, all peaceful. Just walk out onto the streets, sit down, and stop it all

Brexit continues to guzzle govt resources for no observable benefit. Just continued loss and risk to the country.
Aligning with the EU gives businesses certainty but a bunch of Brexiters would have us begging Trump for a deal.
Not feeling much ‘control’ here.
