This is a fairly polite version of my views on Christmas....as ever it is nice to get new books though

Who gets to decide the questions in our lives?

Power doesn’t just control what we do. It controls what we think is possible. Chapter 8 of Spirit of Revolution is about breaking the mental citadel that keeps us obedient. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. open.spotify.com/show/5YAmc7o...

1/3. What this article is saying is that 60 metres of sea level rise is effectively inevitable. Oh no ... actually it says: "The research shows that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet’s long-term collapse becomes virtually certain under high emissions."

Thank you for the kind reviews of my book. If you missed it, you can find copies at rev21.earth/books

I’ve worked closely with and deeply respect the team at Resilient Uprising. They’re training grassroots leaders in nonviolent resistance. They’re €4,200 short to make it happen, including a Kenya scholarship. If you can, please chip in: tinyurl.com/supporteduca...

I’m free, organising again, and asking for support to build serious structures at speed. This is what I’m working on, and why it matters now. rogerhallam.com/out-of-priso...

Based on the 11-year running mean (and on Earth's Energy Imbalance), the near-term rate of warming could turn out much higher than the linear 2010-2025 extrapolation. The next El Niño peak will be very informative for the rate of global warming, as @drjamesehansen.bsky.social points out:

We’re told degrowth is “unelectable”. The science says otherwise. ~75% of people in the US & UK support degrowth principles once people hear what it really means. This is a messaging challenge, not a dead end.

If the liberal elite won’t take the risks their own warnings demand, the world will remain asleep — and the task of awakening it falls to the small minority willing to act.

1/ We are living through the most dangerous period in human history, yet the public conversation about climate breakdown is trapped in liberal euphemism and self-censorship.

Entering the age of lose, lose. Lose if you cut emissions; lose if you don't. Welcome to the internal contradictions of capitalism, to the point of collapse. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Left's political class needs to 'Shut Up and Listen'

I’ve spent years working on minimum funds. Prison didn’t change that. I’m now based in Brixton, organising full-time. If my work matters to you, support it. I live on the minimum and put everything else into team members and the movement. rogerhallam.com#/portal/signup

1/ COP has finished in Belém, Brazil. The most important moment? Indigenous people forced their way into the conference and blocked the entrances. They chanted, “Our land is not for sale” and “We can’t eat money.” They are on the frontline of the global death project. #COP #Indigenous

Power doesn’t just control what we do. It controls what we think is possible. The next chapter of Spirit of Revolution is about breaking the mental citadel that keeps us obedient — and why that’s where revolution begins. youtu.be/QL7uIx9lBl4

The holidays are coming. Which means a lot of plastic crap and the annual ritual of pretending everything is fine while the world burns. Or—you could give a book. Specifically, two books that don’t lie to you. rogerhallam.com/presents-for...

Sending activists to prison was a good idea.

We are heading beyond 2°C this decade. Either people organise or fascism fills the void. Rev21 is building a global nonviolent revolutionary movement while repression intensifies. If you can, please help fund the infrastructure of resistance. chuffed.org/project/rev21

Political change only happens by moving people's souls.

This is what I am saying again and again and again ... to the point of "impoliteness"... Societies and ecosystems go “extinct from politeness,” and “The Earth is not dying, it is being killed. And the people who are killing it have names and addresses.” open.spotify.com/episode/3JBj...

50 Articles the Media Wouldn’t Publish and Grasping the Enormity of the Moment are out now. Buy them before 18th December so they arrive before Christmas. Get them on the Rev21 website: rev21.earth/books/

My new books, Grasping the Enormity of the Moment and 50 Articles The Media Wouldn’t Publish, are out. They include urgent essays on the climate crisis, civil resistance & revolution, including my prison essay “Why the Human Race Is Going Extinct This Century.” rev21.earth/books/

The middle class has taken over the Left. How do we fix it?

1/3 What this article is saying is that 60 metres of sea level rise is effectively inevitable. Oh no ... actually it says: "The research shows that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet’s long-term collapse becomes virtually certain under high emissions."

Will Zack Polanski transform British politics?

1/3. While the liberal media tries to convince itself on the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement of its religious addiction to "it will be alright", anyone who is even slightly realist should look at the ACTUAL NUMBERS!

I’ve been out of prison six months and I’m back organising: door-knocking, assemblies, building resistance. I write plainly about what’s coming and what we must do. No bullshit, no cold comfort. Subscribe if you want truth and strategy. Donate if you can. rogerhallam.com#/portal/signup

1/ I’m standing in a packed inner-city hall at a community assembly. 150 people at small tables. The assembly is about to set a demand on the local council. Tension is thick in the air.

1/4. Another disastrously pathetic response from "environmental campaigners" - who cares about the bloody "green new deal". What needs to be communicated is that unless there is a drastic reduction in emissions - and that means zero car emissions by 2030 - Europeans are going to starve ...

1/ What can be said about COP – the so called “climate” conference? Obviously, nothing. No words come close. They reach the foothills at best. They point the way but refuse to go any further.

Listening to @rogerhallam.com and Ash Sarkar @novaramedia.com sharpened something I’ve been thinking about for a while. Britain’s democratic problem starts before the ballot box — its in our failure to update the story of who counts, who contributes, or who gets to speak. @zackpolanski.bsky.social

1/ Last week, Robert Hunziker wrote in CounterPunch how the “UK National Emergency Briefing Wakes Up World.” The piece reports on the National Emergency Briefing held in Westminster on 27 November, where leading UK scientists warned the media about the existential threat of climate breakdown.

Hard Rain Books publishes razor-sharp texts for nonviolent revolution, cutting through climate denial, failed politics, and empty reform. Strategy, truth, and courage for the century ahead. Read. Organise. Rebel! rev21.earth/books/

There is an international community fanning the flames of civil disobedience. The network has a recipe for effective resistance. Check it out! a22network.org

The Situation is Beyond Fucked. Billions of Refugees, Economic Collapse & Mass Extinction. I've led 100,000s in the world's most influential movements against this death project. Join me in resistance, while you still can. rogerhallam.com#/portal/signup

On the 10th Anniversary of the Paris Agreement, you’re going to hear a lot about the progress we’ve made — people saying we “are” heading to 2.5 degrees heating instead of four. I deeply regret to tell you that this is complacent misinformation. 🧵

“If it does not rain in Tehran by December, we should ration water; if it still does not rain, we must empty Tehran.” - Iran’s President

Successful civil resistance begins when ordinary people decide they’re willing to go through something bad together (prison), fear, sacrifice.When that collective courage appears, power shifts. That’s when real change begins.

A great discussion about how to build grassroots power. Essential viewing! 👀

Community assemblies are empowering the public — and the administrative class is panicking. Their distractions won’t stop what’s coming next: organised communities demanding decency. My piece in the New Statesman. www.newstatesman.com/ideas/2025/1...

Now that Your Party conference is finished, the real work begins. The organising ahead will decide everything. My new book Grasping the Enormity of the Moment sets out where Your Party must go next. Check it out. rev21.earth/product/your...

Last week I spoke to Ash Sarkar about the only question that matters now: how do we actually change the system? This Thursday at 7pm UK I’m hosting a Blueprint Talk with the Assemble team to lay out the plan and how you can get involved. us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

The latest devastating forecast, which takes account of what is actually happening in the real world - in terms of both climate and climate policy - to provide a more realistic view of what we can expect I have said it before - we are in deep, deep, sh*t worldcrunch.com/focus/green-...

A reminder... rogerhallam.com/why-were-goi...

I had a great time reading in prison. Here are my highlights. rogerhallam.com/tops-reads/

The #ClimateSituation is #BeyondFucked. #RogerHallam gives us an authentic blueprint for action.

My first long interview after prison — talking not just about ‘the climate’ but how we actually win. Mass mobilisation, repression, class, love, strategy. We’re out of time to keep getting this wrong. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC2V...

Indigenous people broke through COP’s doors. The system built to kill them, and us, responded with fanciful roadmaps and empty promises. This new piece explains why anyone taking part in this obscenity becomes complicit. Resistance is the only path now. rogerhallam.com/cop-has-fini...
