Reality has an inherent left wing bias.

Calling morality, justice and ecological stability "left wing ideology" is just... Wild.

The world has gone mad.

One State Found a Way to Make Billionaires Pay. Your State Could Be Next.
One State Found a Way to Make Billionaires Pay. Your State Could Be Next. YouTube video by More Perfect Union

Interesting to see how these ideas of who and what the threats we are facing is evolving.

Billionaires tax seems popular and the Mamdani, UK greens + @garyseconomics.bsky.social movements are clearly growing.

Feels like a lot of mainstream commentators are missing it.

Default data sharing with police is not just a bad thing in the U.S. It is a threat to vulnerable people everywhere and is a system that is ripe for abuse.

The International Energy Agency is calling for people to cut oil demand by working from home more, flying less and driving slower, as the Iran war rocks global energy markets.

The agency says those measures, alongside steps such as sharing cars and switching to electric cookers, are needed to help with the “largest supply disruption in the history of the oil market”, which has pushed the price of a barrel of oil above $100.

Graphic which reads 'Narrative Shifts. A timeline of BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Shell's changing narratives from "we're part of the solution" to convincing people "you can't live without us".

☢️ Ad campaigns are more toxic than ever, instilling fear into the general public to make us believe we’ll never be able to live without fossil fuels, despite clean energy being cheaper and more reliable.

We've documented this narrative shift to make it easier for creatives to take action.
