#OnThisDay, 4 Oct 1936, women join the Battle of Cable Street, in London's East End, protesting against a fascist march through the area. Of the 79 people arrested, eight are women, including Blanche Edwards (pictured).

Seeing as how we’re not tough on shoplifters soft on the causes of shoplifters, this is worth remembering

Facing prison for holding a placard

Retired social worker Trudi Warner, who faces a possible two years in prison, is asking the Solicitor General to stop proceedings against her for contempt of court. Her alleged crime? Holding a placard.

In March, Warner was standing outside a court in London, where climate protesters were on trial, and held up a sign reading: “Jurors: you have an absolute right to acquit a defendant according to your conscience.”

This legal right was established in 1670, after a judge imprisoned a jury for reaching a verdict he would not accept. The incident gave rise to a new ruling that juries have the freedom to reach decisions independently. Yet holding this sign was enough to put Warner in front of a judge at the Old Bailey – a building with a plaque at the entrance that declares the same legal right.

When the risk is known to be existential, you would think the precautionary principle would apply

☠️ 🥬 "Organic kale had higher levels of PFAS, which Verkerk said was “a bit of a shock finding”. He added that the group tested kale because it “wanted to look at an archetypal healthy vegetable” that was high in protein, which PFAS compounds bind to. The source of the contamination is unclear, but he suspected tainted water was probably to blame, though it was also possible the kale was grown in fields where sludge was spread"

Great that we are simply being poisoned

Hello Mastodon followers, help please.

If you are a follower, could you kindly "like" this post when you see it so I can gauge how many are seeing/reading my Mastodon posts?

Nominally I have 41k followers on here, but I think that figure is artificially inflated because of how many came over last November and then went away again.

Many thanks.

Banksy nails it

When your home burns, floods, or is destroyed in an extreme climate weather event, when someone in your family dies from heat waves, or when crops fail and people starve—come for these three people: Wael Sawan (Shell CEO), Darren Woods (Exxon CEO), and Patrick Pouyanne (TotalEnergies CEO). They knew what was coming and did it to you anyway. Sue them, shame them, heckle them, despise them. These are choices. They are to blame, not society.

🤔As #NATO leaders meet for their 2023 summit in Lithuania, one Tory MP has called for opposition parliamentarians to be kicked out of their party for showing support for the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (#TPNW).

Soon more than half the world's population will be in countries that back the #NuclearBan.

CND asks why aren’t more MPs giving their support to an international ban that is growing in popularity by the day?
