First weekend of the #InternationalRebellion is here and you may be wondering: “Are our actions on the streets enough to tip the scales?”

History (both distant and recent) tells us that we not only need a broad coalition of people, but also of tactics!

And no, that doesn’t just mean many different ways of shutting down the streets... though we have to give credit for the creativity where credit is due 😉

Good morning Rebellion 💚 We’ve got an incoming 🚨THREAD ALERT🚨 for you!

It takes courage to take to the streets and demand better of our government.

It also takes courage to sit down and listen when the activists whose shoulders we stand on demand better of us.

A massive thank you to @DrRHashem, @chilledasad100 and @bencsmoke for taking the time to visit the @GJRSite and talk to our Rebels about @XRebellionUK’s blindspots and shortcomings so far.

TW: sexual assault, sexual harassment, paedophilia

Jess Bradley of the NUS has been found to be running a blog (exhibitionizm.tumblr.com) where she posts photos bragging about sexually harassing ("flashing") people and shares images sexualising schoolboys

#SolidarityNotSilence
The blog began in 2014 and is still live at time of writing. It's public but you need to be logged in to tumblr to see it.

Jess Bradley has posted pictures of herself flashing at work, on the train, at the bus stop and in the park (censored screenshots in next tweet).
TW sexual harassment

Photos Jess Bradley has posted of herself flashing in public places

This is a pattern of behaviour, not a one-off incident. She even tagged her first post "#flasher" - she knows exactly what she's doing and the non-consensual nature of her behaviour.
