Another friend - Amy - just joined the @greenparty.org.uk 💚

She told me, “I’d been meaning to do it for ages, but seeing you on Saturday gave me the push I needed”

This is how change happens: thousands of ordinary members, chatting with friends, family and colleagues - one conversation at a time ✊🏼

He's also given most of his wealth away already, he's 95 and if he paid everyone $200 it would have cost him $1.4 billion. Now how would that get disbursed???

Jason Abbott @profjabbott.bsky.social · 2d

I got paid $0. No one got paid. We protested because we hate Trump
