@samtbennett.bsky.social in true rock star style thanking @laurafilardollamas.bsky.social for the wonderful organisation (as we all should)! Fun times at the #cadaad2026 dinner!
X is the Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines of our time and Musk should face arrest and trial if he sets foot outside the US. Unfortunately, none of our governments have the guts to do this.
Musk’s amplification of the movie “Citizen Vigilante” legitimizes violence against immigrants.
@cadaad.bsky.social @samtbennett.bsky.social can you please help us spread the word?
If you say "I support Palestine Action", they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on the news.
They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.
Thank you for being tolerant / patient / understanding. You know who you are. ❤️
IDK fam, perhaps online translators need some human input somewhere along the way
Imagine the evening Wes Streeting had last night, finding out how just many people don't like him. Not in a general way. He has actually counted.
He’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but you have to admit that Wes Streeting becoming PM would be an historic moment. First ever prime minister composed entirely of microplastics.
Sharing, without comment, British newspapers’ depictions of the only Jewish person currently leading a UK political party . Times. Mail. Telegraph. Sun.
Workers from Amazon, Whole Foods & Washington Post held the “Ball without Billionaires” to boycott the Jeff Bezos Met Gala. The show was walked by organizers who’ve fought for better working conditions, fair pay & rights for pregnant workers. All looks were designed by immigrant designers.
It is impossible to stop thinking about Arsenal. It’s relentless. I’m 60 ffs. This feels like the longest season ever at a point where everything else in life is accelerating, Xmas comes quicker, the kids are racing through school, but the 25-26 season is defying the laws of physics.
Don't miss it! #CADAAD2026 early 🐦 registration finishes in ten days (April 30th)!
As a little treat, have some of the 📸of Valladolid we have been sharing on our Instagram account (😌we already told you it was slightly more aesthetic) 📍Plaza Mayor
Ihis type of experience of interaction with the BBC is not a surprise to me. I've only had 1 dealing with the BBC as a 'talking head' (ca.2016, about Brexit)
I’ve been hearing so much anger and disappointment from frontline workers about the BBC investigation into fraudulent asylum claims. One of the most damning responses has come from one of the experts they interviewed, solicitor Ana Gonzalez. It’s really worth reading her response in full:

One cheer for falling income inequality
Income inequality has fallen slightly. This does not mean inequality isn't a problem.
