Got me some anti fash merch, thanks @pauldegregorio.bsky.social

#ResistPersist

A set of four protest-style stickers arranged on a wooden surface. The stickers use bold black, white, and bright pink text. One says "RESIST PERSIST" on a black background. Another says "TAKE NO SHIT DO NO HARM" on a white background. A third says "PROUDLY ANTI-FASCIST" in pink and black on white. The fourth says "PEOPLE POWER" in white and black on a pink background.

Maybe disappearing people off the streets, teargassing families, zip tying naked children in the street at 2 am, starving kids, making health care impossible to get, destroying the job market, failing at disaster relief, knocking down the White House...maybe people don't like these things. 🤷‍♂️

"Have you considered waiting for the conference in November before accusing Your Party of being transphobic? Because we're having a vote on whether to support trans then. Me, I don't have a problem with them. I was actually in the same room as Jeremy when he said he wasn't bothered about it either."

No10 vs Milliband is a small but really fucking irritating part of their problem.

Stop it. Talk green investment up all day, every day.

It's jobs.

James Murray @james-bg.bsky.social · 7d

Great read from @iandunt.bsky.social on whether Starmer should stay or go, including the mystery of how, if you’re launching a popular climate, energy, and growth strategy, why wouldn’t you stage a press conference on it?

I’m not saying the govt position is a mess.

But when the world’s richest man is inciting a civil war in the UK…

… just pretending not to know about it can’t possibly be their idea of looking competent?

Adam Bienkov @adambienkov.bsky.social · 9d

Keir Starmer's spokesman says they "haven't seen" Elon Musk's demands for a civil war on the streets of Britain.

* moan as well...

Paul de Gregorio @pauldegregorio.bsky.social · 8d

Instead of moaning about the thing.

Organise against it.

I mean, main as well, but not just for clicks.

Maybe do something. Big or small. But something.

Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story.

Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done.

The Caerphilly result is what we need to see everywhere at the next election: people coordinating to vote tactically for parties which seek a fairer, kinder, greener country.
Pushing out both those who have betrayed our trust AND those who seek to exploit that betrayal.

We were asked for an opinion on how charities need to update their comms playbook. Luckily we have lots of opinions.
