What do you say when someone makes it clear they think the violence, racism and Islamaphobia we’re seeing on our streets might be justified? Such a great piece by my colleague Claire on why and how we need to have that courageous conversation larger.us/ideas/how-to-t…

So enjoyed this conversation!

The bit I most enjoy is that Elon now appears to be dressing up as Emperor Commodus from Gladiator in his profile photo, just to really underline the point

So fascinating (and hopeful!) to sit down with @Imi_Ahmed from CCDH to talk about social media's role in the far right riots and what we need to do about it, as the first edition in a new series of the Larger Us Podcast buzzsprout.com/1738464/155711…

Really important story here - and relates to lots of the points that @Imi_Ahmed from CCDH made in our conversation about social media and the UK far right riots on the Larger Us podcast buzzsprout.com/1738464/155711…

Set up account on Blue Sky yesterday - it’s great. Looks and feels like pre-Musk Twitter, far more people than I expected already there, functional algorithm, way easier than Mastodon, plus strong Wednesday night at Glasto vibes as people arrive

This should not be a story on an obscure part of the BBC Science Focus site, it should be top of every news bulletin in the world. Please read. Please understand. Please revolt in your office if you have to to force appropriate coverage of this. It speaks for itself. @bbcnews

Easily the best video of the election cycle so far

The brilliant Climate Outreach have an urgent funding appeal out: please help if you can! Their work is used by *everyone* who works on climate, they are *the* go-to experts on how to engage the public, and their work is more essential than ever climateoutreach.org/connect/suppor…

Interesting how it's always "vote according to Biblical values!" until it comes to welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.

Do come along if you can - these are always a lot of fun!

Some thoughtful analysis and terrific *practical* advice about how we move forward together at this moment, from my friend Alex Evans / @alexevansuk.bsky.social at Larger Us, now writing at Substack. What do we do now? open.substack.com/pub/alexevansu…

How to keep democracy alive in 2025: 1. Be Brave. Avoid helpless/hopeless talk. Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism. Starve it.
