Should I stick (first option) or twist (second) with the second part of the slogan/strapline for BLAG, i.e.
1. BLAG Magazine: Adventures in Sign Painting Craft, Community & Culture.
2. BLAG Magazine: The Antithesis of Slop*.
*This came to me this morning while talking about the magazine with The Life of Letters podcast (https://www.lauraletterslife.com/the-life-of-letters-podcast) and pondering what the future holds for the sign painting craft in the age of generative AI.

Beware of misleading numbers such as this one. #Evidence and #CriticalThinking instead of simplistic #slogans and #propaganda.

Another example: warehouse-arsonist guy's "all you had to do is pay us enough to live"... that's really low-balling it, my man. No. even if we all got paid enough to live, we'd still have racism, sexism, rape, police brutality, war, imperialism, neocolonialism, etc. I just can't help but object to these really absolutist statements. Really it should be "the LEAST you could do is pay us enough to live. BUT we also want these other things and so we're asking for those too."
But, yeah that isn't as catchy, I guess. That'd be a long bumper sticker.
(and again, i'm not against the action. just thinkg the messaging around it could be better)

"You're a bad #person if you celebrated"
And a lot of you #people #proved "#eattherich" and "kill all #Nazis" are just cute #slogans for your fucking water bottles. This is an #aesthetic to you. Shut the fuck up

#Slogans I read widely, I like to be informed. To go with 'knowledge is power' etc, this from the 'Washington Post' their motto is "Democracy dies in Darkness" . Of course re: the bollox that's occurring over there but I think it equally applies to the situation here. Both nationally with cunning stunt #LINO and locally #Pembroke where the Town Council, Pembroke County, Welsh Government & Development Agency shut doors in my face. Only 3/4 of a mil gone 'missing'. #SouthQuay #PembrokePapers

@DrALJONES @AndiiB
I agree that our language should be plain.• Nation-states do not reimburse debt. (They restructure it.)
• Nation-states can obtain funding by issuing they own money (or credit).
• Nation-states invest or spend as much as they want by issuing they own money (or credit).#slogans #debt #deficit #sovereignty #money #centralBanks #currency #MMT #power #wealth #settlements #transactions #policy #government #politics #economy #policies #climatePolicies #economics #economy

#HongKong: #Article23 law used to ‘normalize’ #repression one year since enactment
Just one year after its passage, Hong Kong’s Article 23 law has further squeezed people’s freedoms and enabled authorities to intensify their #crackdown on peaceful #activism in the city and beyond, #AmnestyInternational said.
" 'Over the past year, Article 23 has been used to entrench a ‘new normal’ of systematic repression of dissent, criminalizing peaceful acts in increasingly absurd ways,' said Amnesty International’s China Director Sarah Brooks.
" 'People have been targeted and harshly punished for the clothes they wear as well as the things they #say and #write, or for minor acts of #protest, intensifying the #ClimateIOfFear that already pervaded Hong Kong. #FreedomOfExpression has never been under greater attack.'
People convicted and jailed for peaceful expression"The Safeguarding National Security Ordinance (known as Article 23) took effect on 23 March 2024. Amnesty International’s analysis shows that 16 people have since been arrested for sedition under Article 23. Five of them were officially charged under the law, and the other 11 were released without charge. None of those arrested is accused of engaging in violence, while the authorities have accused two of them of #inciting violence without yet disclosing any details.
"Three of the charged individuals – after facing around three months’ pre-trial detention – were convicted for, respectively, wearing a T-shirt and #mask printed with protest slogans; #criticizing the government #online; and writing protest #slogans on bus seats. They were sentenced to between 10 and 14 months in prison.
"The remaining two charged people have been held in detention awaiting trial since November 2024 and January 2025, respectively. They are accused of publishing '#seditious' posts on social media platforms.
Article 23 entrenches denial of bail
"The presumption against bail in national security cases, originally imposed by the #Beijing-enacted #NationalSecurityLaw (#NSL), has now been extended to offences under Article 23. Among the five individuals charged under Article 23, the two who applied for bail had their applications denied because the magistrate believed they may 'continue to commit acts endangering national security' – the same reasoning used to deny bail to others prosecuted under the NSL, including newspaper founder #JimmyLai and opposition politicians.
"The remaining 11 individuals arrested under Article 23 are variously accused of publishing 'seditious' posts, commemorating the 1989 #Tiananmen crackdown and spreading 'disinformation'. Despite having been released by the police without official charge, they remain at risk of prosecution at any time because Article 23 does not impose a time limit on bringing criminal charges.
" 'Article 23 has been wielded by the Hong Kong government as a tool to suppress critical voices with the ultimate aim of eradicating them. Alongside the #NSL, it has handed the authorities virtually unchecked power to arrest and jail anybody criticizing the government. The result is a Hong Kong where people are forced to second-guess what they say and write, and even what they wear,' Sarah Brooks said.
" 'The now default use of pre-trial #detention and refusal of bail are alarming examples of how Article 23 has been used to reinforce the repressive tools first introduced under the NSL.”
‘#NationalSecurity’ as a trump card overriding established laws"Article 23 has also been weaponized to impose additional punitive measures against dissidents already serving sentences. Under the existing Prison Rules, last amended in 2014, prisoners with good conduct were eligible for early release after serving two-thirds of their sentences. However, according to new rules set by Article 23, the prison authorities can waive this practice if the release would be 'contrary to the interests of national security'.
"Notably, at least two jailed activists have been denied early release, despite the fact that they were not convicted under Article 23 and had already begun serving their sentences before its enactment.
"One of the activists – who was convicted of incitement to wound, a charge unrelated to any national security legislation – was barred from early release despite Article 23 expressly stating that the new rules apply only to prisoners convicted of offences endangering national security.
" '#Retroactively denying early release based on vague national security justifications undermines legal certainty and due process. The government’s failure to comply with the very text that it drafted further raises serious concerns about the arbitrary application of Article 23,' Sarah Brooks said.
Extraterritorial application against #overseas #activists"The worrying impact of Article 23 on human rights is not restricted to Hong Kong. Authorities have invoked Article 23’s extraterritorial scope to penalize a total of 13 Hong Kong activists residing overseas, including in the #UK, the #US, #Canada and #Australia. These penalties have included the cancellation of passports, suspension of lawyer licenses, removal from company directorships and prohibition of financial transactions, restricting a range of #HumanRights such as their freedom of movement, right to privacy and right to work.
"These measures have been imposed alongside arrest warrants issued under the NSL, each carrying a HK$1 million (US$128,700) bounty, for these 13 individuals and six other overseas activists.
" 'By sanctioning activists overseas, the Hong Kong government is attempting to extend its #DraconianLaws beyond its borders to target potentially anyone, anywhere. The situation has resulted in a chilling effect on individuals who persist in exercising their freedom of expression, even after departing from the city. The international community cannot afford to ignore Article 23’s intended extraterritorial reach,' Sarah Brooks said.
" 'We urge the Hong Kong and Chinese governments to immediately repeal Article 23, the NSL and any other legislation which violates international human rights laws and standards. We also call on other governments to safeguard the fundamental rights and freedoms of #Hongkongers, in particular those actively defending human rights, within their jurisdictions.
" 'The rising risk of transnational repression, which Amnesty has documented and which is explicitly tied to Hong Kong’s national security legislation, demands a response by governments worldwide. As a start, that means denouncing incidents of transnational repression and pursuing accountability for criminal acts targeting activists and others in the country of residence.'
Background
"On 19 March 2024, Hong Kong’s Legislative Council unanimously voted to pass the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance based on Article 23 of the Basic Law, Hong Kong’s mini-constitution.
"The law, which took effect on 23 March 2024, introduced China’s definition of 'national security' and 'state secrets', together with other broadly defined offences which further restricted freedom of expression and the right to protest. It also replaced a widely used #colonial-era #sedition law with its own provisions on sedition which now expressly cover acts or speech which do not incite violence. The maximum prison sentence for sedition was increased from two to seven years, or up to 10 years if involving 'collusion with an external force'.
"Amnesty International submitted an analysis of its proposals to the government during the consultation period, concluding that the offences and changes to investigatory powers are contrary to Hong Kong’s human rights obligations. After the law was passed, Amnesty International issued a briefing paper providing an in-depth analysis of the effects of the law on both Chinese and non-Chinese individuals, in particular via its purported extraterritorial application."

#SilencingDissent: The #Crackdown on #PeacefulProtest in #Europe
In our recently published Rule of Law report, Liberties’ members reported an increase in restrictions on the right to peaceful protest in all countries.
by Flore du Teilleul
April 10, 2025Excerpt:
"The right to peaceful protest is essential to our democracies, allowing people to come together with a unified voice to support or oppose key issues. It serves as a powerful mechanism for individuals to hold their governments to account and is often the last resort when prior messages go unheard. However, politicians often perceive this right as a threat, especially when force of numbers demonstrates support for an issue."In our recently published Rule of Law report, Liberties’ members reported an increase in restrictions on the right to peaceful protest in all countries - from bans on individual protests to the disproportionate use of force by the police and legislative changes. A widespread trend emerged of restricted #ProPalestine protests and #EnvironmentalDefenders receiving particularly harsh penalties.
Bans on Protests
"Restrictions on various protest movements justified on public safety grounds were documented in many member states. In #Germany, the Berlin Assembly Authorities implemented a temporary blanket ban targeting pro-Palestine demonstrations. Initially, the ban targeted celebrations of the mass murder and pro-Hamas demonstrations but later extended to all pro-Palestinian protests. Similarly, in #Latvia, an unregistered #FreePalestine movement protest was banned after an assessment by the state security service that the event would, among other risks, harm the country’s international interests.
"The Estonian police banned a protest in support of #Palestinians, which was later declared unlawful by the administrative court. In #Hungary, Prime Minister #ViktorOrbán publicly prejudiced support for Palestinians by linking it with terrorism, equating solidarity with civilians victims to threats to the public order. As the fifteen attempts to organise protests were successively banned, the government and the Prime Minister re-asserted their power by deciding what can be demonstrated for, namely, topics in line with their political interests. Following the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, the Hungarian government has repeatedly declared and extended the state of danger, allowing for the adoption of emergency decrees restricting, among other rights, the freedom to assemble. Both the Hungarian Supreme Court and Constitutional Court upheld the protest bans on the basis of public safety and security, legalising the practice of police-authorised restrictions in times of conflict.
"Further restrictions, including bans on #slogans and #signs during #demonstrations, sought to criminalise protesters. Several individuals were arrested or fined for displaying signs or slogans related to Palestine. In #Belgium, activists faced administrative sanctions for carrying a #PalestinianFlag or the #keffiyeh. Similarly, in the #Netherlands, attendees of an #ExtinctionRebellion demonstration were prohibited from mentioning the conflict in the Middle East. The enforcement of restrictions went as far as arrests, as Croatian activists were charged with misdemeanor after projecting a message in support of Palestine on a building across from the Israeli Embassy in Zagreb.
"In Hungary, a demonstrator faced criminal charges after wearing a gas mask and removing it after being asked by the police. In a worrying trend of criminalising protest activities, several activists were arrested and charged with sedition before an Extinction Rebellion demonstration in the Netherlands.
Disproportionate use of force by the police
"The criminalisation of environmental and pro-Palestine protesters was worsened by the violent repression of the police through excessive use of force. This was particularly notable in Sweden, where student encampments in support of Palestinians were forcibly displaced and participants were charged with criminal offenses. #PainGrips, water guns and #WaterCannons were used against environmental activists, pro-Palestinian and anti-immigration demonstrators in Germany, the #Netherlands and #Ireland.
"Environmental activists faced similar fates, The NGO ‘#FranceNatureEnvironnement’ reported concerns to the UN Special Rapporteur on Environmental Defenders following the violent repression of protesters during a demonstration against the A69 highway. In #Sweden, a woman was dismissed from her job at the Swedish Energy Agency for participating in an environmental demonstration and a growing number of #EcoActivists were fined for participating in peaceful protests."

"It's easy to come up with simplistic slogans [rather than] carefully thought through ideas" said #ChrisPhilp on today's #BBCLauraK in reference to how #Reform operates
Does anyone remember all these slogans he himself once used, though?
"Get Brexit Done"
"Take back control."
"No deal is better than a bad deal,"
"Let's go WTO,"
"The will of the people"
"Brexit means Brexit" -

Sobre os SLOGANS educacionais que, geralmente, são só mais do mesmo...
"Em educação, os slogans proporcionam símbolos que unificam as idéias e atitudes chaves dos movimentos educacionais. Exprimem e promovem, ao mesmo tempo, a comunidade de espírito, atraindo novos aderentes e fornecendo
confiança e firmeza aos veteranos Assemelham-se, assim, aos slogans religiosos e políticos e, como esses, são produtos de um espírito partidário."A linguagem da educação - Israel Scheffler

Lors des immenses mobilisation de 2016 qui aboutiront à la destitution de la présidente Park Geun-hye (박근혜), accusée de corruption et de dérive autoritaire. Les manifestant⋅es sont alors accusé⋅es d’avoir des « soutiens politiques secrets ».
Pour ridiculiser à ces délires complotistes, les manifestante⋅es ont commencé à réaliser des drapeaux parodiques d’organisations imaginaires et fantaisistes.
Une pratique qui est réapparue c’est derniers jours lors des manifestations pour obtenir la destitution de Yoon Suk Yeol (윤석열), suite à sa tentative de coup d’Etat. Quelques exemples : Confédération coréenne des syndicats de chats, Les gens venus seuls, Le syndicat des chats du prolétariat, Syndicat des travailleurs des boulettes de crevettes, etc.
Mon favori (ci-dessous en image) restant le drapeau de l’Association des gens qui continuent de désigner X par Twitter, illustré du logo de l’oiseau bleu (photo de jekkibby2).
