Here's my latest piece in
@the_ecologist
on how the Police, Crime and Sentencing Bill will criminalise activists in ecological protest camp movements precisely because they have worked so well as a tactic in the struggles against road building, coal and fracking.
#KillTheBill
Protests to stop climate breakdown and ecological destruction do work - and that's precisely why the UK and other governments are determined to suppress them argues

It needs to be known that there were Jewish people in that crowd and some were whooping when the flag came down.
Criticism of Isreal is not the same as bigoted hate of an entire religious/ethnic minority.
The seas are rising, so are we. This is happening right NOW:

I feel sick after watching J-Lo's basterdised version of 'This Land is Your Land' at the inauguration. The song is an anti-capitalist, labour rights/land rights, anti-private property classic. The neoliberalisation of it is totally gross. Poor Woodie Guthrie turning in his grave!
BREAKING: More than 100 young trade unionists have blocked both entrances to Instro Precision Ltd, an Elbit Systems subsidiary which produces military equipment used by Israeli forces, in protest against Israel's ongoing bombing of civilians in Gaza.
Elated that after almost a month and thousands blockading a main road, XR Netherlands have achieved a massive victory in their battle against fossil fuel subsidies 🥲🌎✊

What a WIN!! After 27 days of A12 blockades and more than 9,000 arrests, the Lower House asks the cabinet for a phase-out plan for fossil fuel subsidies. Civil disobedience works! We will stay sharp and are ready for new actions.

So so sad to hear that David Graeber has died.
I first came accross him on one of the student demos of 2010, I hadn't a clue who he was. I since became inspired by his work and he visited one of our occupations at Birmingham Uni. A true comrade to our generation 💔

Calm down MRA dears! If this display of capitalism incorporating liberal feminism is such an affront on your fragile egos I dread to think what your reaction will be when anti-capitalist revolutionary feminism confronts your toxic masculinity!
Who'd have thought that an institution which presided over the genocide and subjugation of people of colour through their active role in colonisation for 1000 yrs would have a family member make a racist joke?!

Last night in Germany and it's been an absolute blast. Another fucking epic ende__gelaende with 6,000 peeps at a camp where we got through police to occupy one of the largest coal mines in Europe and the train tracks…
Craig Charles is trending - reminding people about his allegations of gang rape.
Very few allegations result in conviction and very few allegations of rape are false. Just because he was not convicted does not mean he didn't do it.
It's not just about reflecting on your friend's behaviour. Men have to do the hard work of reflecting on *their own* behaviour and really think about those times which they might have thought of as 'rough sex' or a grey area.
