From Organise:

'Did you know that Arsenal's kit man was fired for posting on social media about the genocide of Palestinians?

62 year-old Mark Bonnick was sacked after 22 years of service to Arsenal football club - even though the Football Association found no breach of rules, and Arsenal's investigation found his posts were not antisemitic. [1] '

Petition at Organise. Same situation as the dismissal of the LNER guard.

@BecLFC Same.
@ChrisMayLA6 Yes, along with a massive reduction in livestock farming.
Craziness of this year's FIFA World Cup unfolds! Let's remember the Barcelona People's Olympiad, "conceived as an anti-fascist protest event against the 1936 Summer Olympics being held in Berlin, which was then under control of the Nazi Party". halted by outbreak of civil war.
Any remotely similar #solidarity in the face of USA warmongering? Only hearing stories of visa restrictions and increasingly insane amounts of air travel.

@jacqui76 @telred17 Ekitike and Isak were injured. And Robertson was always going to play that match ahead of Kerkez. So really it's just Wirtz, who has shown flashes, but hasn't had the intended strikers ahead of him for chunks of the season. We lost quite a few players, and the replacements have barely had any minutes this season all playing together. Slot has been unlucky, but it does seem like a fresh start is needed.
When we talk about the consumption of materials, there's the 3Rs slogan "reduce, reuse, recycle". Obviously that's mostly lip-service, but still. For energy consumption, there's not even lip-service to reducing consumption, it's straight to generating. #greenwashing

In Ontario, hundreds of kilometres from the nearest highway, a vast stretch of peatlands and boreal forest is being readied for sacrifice.

They have to destroy the peatlands for the critical metals for the clean energy for the Great Green Transition. Aren't peatlands carbon sinks?

"Above those underground treasures, the world’s largest intact peatland ecosystem stores vast amounts of carbon and supports Indigenous communities that have lived there for generations."

@mike The problem is he is fit for purpose, and has been for years. Been doing a very consistent job for someone.
@rmblaber1956 @thegreenparty But it does work to shift UK politics to the right, and shut down the left. So perhaps it is working. There'll be some powerful people very happy with that.
Any (vegan) activists in Manchester who could make use of an old (12 years) Dell Latitude laptop? Decent spec and condition considering, newish battery, details available. Linux. Pass this on to groups/people who might need it, but don't have funds.
