One side – let’s call them the #pragmatists – view #politics purely in terms of #policies enacted and material change on the ground. The other – let’s call them the #idealists – see a role for demonstrating their principles and modelling them in public. It is a debate that has simmered for centuries, and yet seems to catch each new #politicalgeneration unawares."

“They Can’t Beat All of Us”
A report from the Florida Abolitionist Gathering, where a determined network of anarchists and rebels shared strategies for radical organizing in the belly of the beast.
I'm diminishing my presence on #BigTech platforms.
I'm trying @AsahiLinux on my #macbookair
To diminish presence on Bigtechs intrinsically means to diminish presence on #UnitedStates tech products, therefore I'm looking for #EuropeanUnion counterparts. It's curious that one the direct side effects to that is the gain of #privacy once #GDPL enforces privacy awareness.
The #US is a #directthreat to Western nations in its determination to #dictate other countries’ #domestic #policies & #undermine their #security by sacrificing their interests to thugs like #Putin. The world has changed, radically and in ways unknown since the 1940s. But #Albanese & #Dutton aren’t reacting. They’re like deer in the headlights of history.

Making #UBI a #reality takes time and firmly falls into the category of long-term endeavors. That's why it's important to remember why we are doing this:
To #create a #better #life for #everyone 
Let the current state of the world to fuel your #desire for #action and instead of falling for current #political issues, focus on what's #important
Universal Basic Income isn’t just about individuals - it’s about #communities
When people aren’t struggling to survive, they have time to #volunteer #create and #uplift those around them. They can be full time #parents or #students They are able to follow their interests and talents.
Why should a billionaire get to relax while you work multiple jobs to survive? Or worse, whilst the billionaire fires you out of the blue just to save costs.
UBI isn’t unfair - the system we have now is. It’s time to stop rewarding wealth hoarding and start ensuring that everyone has enough. Including you.
What would you do if money stress wasn’t crushing you? Would you start a new project? Go back to school? Take care of your health?
UBI isn’t about giving you riches - it’s about giving you choices. And you deserve choices.
We glorify “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps,” but the reality is: some people don’t even have boots.
UBI doesn’t replace hard work—it makes real opportunity possible.
How many Einsteins and Da Vincis are stuck in dead-end jobs just trying to pay rent? How much talent are we wasting?
Let’s give people a chance.

"The only alternative is to get on with the #policies the #government believes are required, communicate them as best as possible, and ignore the lobby going feral. This is a better fit with #Starmer’s and #Reeves’s characters, but it does mean operating with an even more intensely negative #media backdrop than #Labourgovernments usually have."

The world produces enough food for everyone, but it's woefully misallocated—used for animal feed, #biofuel, or simply wasted. Redistribution #policies are key, and we must adopt plant-rich #diets; this means pushing back against Big Meat: https://theconversation.com/only-political-will-can-end-world-hunger-food-isnt-scarce-but-many-people-cant-access-it-248736 #plantbased #foodsecurity
The ConversationOnly political will can end world hunger: Food isn’t scarce, but many people can’t access itMassive political efforts are needed to tackle the root causes of hunger – conflict, poverty, inequality. Technology alone is not sufficient.
Imagine waking up and knowing your basic needs are covered.
No panic about bills. No stress about rent. Just space to breathe, create, and contribute in ways that actually matter.
UBI doesn’t just fight poverty—it unlocks human potential.
How many ideas, businesses, and inventions are lost because people are stuck in survival mode?
