The generations above us are not even slightly prepared for the fact that - 1) The millennial vote is now the largest voting block 2) For the past two decades its leading priorities and values have been explicitly attacked by Governments 3) A lifetime being ignored has primed it to be radical
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 8h agoAOC: Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We're grown adults with mortgages and kids, and that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us and we're taking the reins
Jeg har alltid hatt en litt uggen følelse av at vi skal være så begeistret for at Pride avholdes overalt, også småsteder og bygda. Fordi homofobi og intoleranse mot skeive har en geografisk element i det. Å late som det ikke er sånn er for meg i rosavasking-gråsonen

We need incentives for food producers to switch to less water, land and resource intensive activities. Meat is a luxury we are pretending we can afford after we have trashed the climate
Farrukh@implausibleblog.bsky.social · last wk.BBC News reporting on concerns about food security and water security We can all see the food and water crisis unfolding, why isn't our government doing everything possible to protect these two precious resources, our food and water supply?
One thing you can absolutely guarantee in life. When Labour ministers talk about difficult choices, it's never the rich and powerful that will be taking a hit.
Oh no. My 'plot' to save lives and reduce drug harms has been 'exposed' by The Express. (Please no one tell them it was a council motion that passed last week.) www.express.co.uk/news/politic...
Green party councillor slammed for 'taxpayer-funded heroin van' to help drug add
Green Bristol councillor Cara Lavan spent months pressing council officials to develop a mobile unit that would allow addicts to inject illegal drugs.

In the 1990s, when Pride London was the biggest music festival in Europe by numbers attending and every tube was packed, it also got no coverage. That's what it looks like when government colludes with the fat right to make acknowledging the existence of a community legally and politically verboten.
Natacha@natacha.bsky.social · 2w agoIf you are a @theguardian.com reader you wouldn’t know that the largest ever gathering of trans people in history yesterday was protesting against the Burnham government’s transphobic hate-policies. It had an article about making an omelette though.
UK journalism *created* transphobia as a font of far-right hatred almost entirely unaided. They sowed the sparks and fanned the flames to create the inferno. To now back off because they feel their own safety is at risk from the fire? I'm genuinely furious at the moral bankruptcy involved.
Aurelien Mondon@aurelmondon.com · 2w agoThis is grim and a direct consequence of decades on mainstreaming of far-right politics and euphemisation of the threat they pose Calling it "rightwing" here is exactly what has gone wrong for example 1/ www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...
Du vet det er nesten bare pynt når politikere prater om å få være den man er og elske den man vil, men har null forslag til praktisk tilrettelegging.
Var på Pride i Stuttgart i går. Var en god del politi og sperrer satt opp, men arrangementet var spredt over hele byen. Jeg klarte ikke slappe av og vi ble ikke særlig lenge. Leste om det som skjedde i Berlin da vi var tilbake på hotellet
2/ Når majoritetsnordmenn sier «ingen av innvandrerne jeg kjenner har opplevd rasisme» har de enten en usannsynlig heldig omgangskrets, eller så avslører de at innvandrerne de kjenner ikke stoler nok på dem til å dele sine erfaringer.
Sumaya har stort sett stått helt alene i den norske samfunnsdebatten mens aviser har desket artikler for maks hat-deling og med noen ekstremt hederlige unntak har jeg knapt sett noen fra norsk offentlighet gidde å ta fighten, inklusiv mediene som har løftet henne frem. kanselleringskulturen
Ecocide is often slow, but just as often it occurs quickly when a feedback loop is created in the wake of enormous reckless construction done rapidly to turn a profit. This is overwhelmingly a working class issue with broad appeal. If “kitchen table politics” were a real thing, it would be this.

Heated rivalry, bare at det er to sider av min egen identitet
Snorre Valen@snorrevalen.bsky.social · 4w agoDet fine med denne kampen er for det første at Norge fullt hørte hjemme i kvartfinalen i VM. Det er helt vilt. Men for det andre er landslaget nå på et nivå som gjør det mulig å oppnå noe nytt: En rival. England var ikke bedre, de var jevngode, men fikk hjelp av VAR, sutring og filming.
