The first holidays and new year without parents and grandparents are hard. It helps me to ponder over generations. What did their world look like? What energy did they use? What changed during their lifetimes? What didn't? Tomorrow I'll reflect on this during Climate Chat. 👇

BREAKING: Allianz stop insuring Israel's biggest weapons company, Elbit Systems. This 🎉WIN after intense pressure from the movement. #BoycottBloodyInsurance continues to call for orgs to boycott Allianz as they continue to insure F-35 suppliers and other deadly companies.

Such a pity so many MPs accept donations from fossil fuel lobbyists to ensure their greenwash keeps the obscene subsidised profits flowing

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

Remember the 1980 boycott of the Moscow Olympic Games led by the USA because of the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan ... I'm sure lots of countries could provide alternative venues for the World Cup ...

Murdered by ICE #fascism #ice #resist #Revolt #reclaim

Coincidence? "First, the allegations around Bots making up 90% of Reform's and now this, which looks suspiciously like they may have engineered an opinion poll. Considering the dishonesty Farage and #Reform have shown over other issues, this needs full investigation" via Fibbymcfibface

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

Don't forget that every World Cup match generates huge profits for FIFA officials who gave a toadying "Peace Prize" to an illegal warmongering paedophile president meme via Anthony Corella

Please share.. ICE THUGS shot & killed a woman in Minneapolis. Then attack citizens point blank with teargas grenades, pepper ball guns & chemical spray in the faces. Of course, Greg Bovino was in the mix. He needs to be brought up for murder charges.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 youtu.be/LnfiWmX_mTE?...

Remember, Mayors and Governors are able to use city and state police to protect their citizens from illegal acts by ICE. They are choosing not to.

“New technologies will come along to save the environment.” What they said versus where we are: From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum. We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

#OtD 8 Jan 2003 two train drivers from Motherwell, Scotland, refused to drive a train full of ammunition for UK forces in the Gulf to the Glen Douglas NATO military base. It was a protest against the threat of invading Iraq. More on the anti-war movt: stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1079...

Treading on brown people. Racial profiling is all they do.

9/ Mid-2000s @friends-earth.bsky.social's #BigAsk campaign pushed Parliament to pass the #ClimateChangeAct, the 1st law in the world committing a country to drastically cut emissions 📜🌍 Grassroots organizing plus political lobbying proved transformative, setting a legal framework for climate action

8/ The Kingsnorth action, alongside early 2000s #climate camps, sent a clear message: coal expansion would not be allowed unchecked. Coal plants were scrapped, Kingsnorth’s chimneys demolished, & by 2024, the UK shut its last coal plant🔥🏭🚫 "Together we are unstoppable, another world is possible"✊💚

7/ By early 2000s, focus shifted to #climate. Blair’s plans for new coal power stations 🏭faced determined grassroots resistance. @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social staged a daring shutdown at Kingsnorth coal power station, & all activists were found not guilty by a jury, a major political & symbolic blow

5/ By the 1990s, grassroots confidence grew Campaigners challenged the government’s road-building programme, giving rise to folk heroes like Swampy @georgemonbiot.bsky.social also cut his teeth as an environmental protester, learning the craft of combining direct action with public storytelling

⚡2026 is a turning point. UK #climate & environmental activists face both crisis & opportunity. Fascism rises, the #climate agenda is under attack, & political representation is urgent. 🧵A longish thread on why we must unite behind @zackpolanski.bsky.social & the @greenparty.org.uk 💚

When in 2021 large public protests swept Oman, one of the Middle East’s most repressive regimes, the UK deepened its support for the dictatorship. www.declassifieduk.org/largest-prot...

The US is now responsible for the governance of Venezuela. Toppling the regime of a smaller country is always the easy part. The hard part is what comes after. Neo-cons always expect a pro-US nirvana. It rarely works out. But I suppose the oil companies can seize some assets.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

Developers call it unused land. #wildlife calls it all they have left. #nature

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

A military world power is declaring its intention to invade multiple countries unless they bow to the USA’s will. When was the last time this happened? The 1930’s?

We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

Taken together, these wins tell a clear story Renewables keep getting cheaper💚 Fossil fuel projects keep losing in court ⚖️ & grassroots pressure keeps translating into real limits on extraction✊ The setbacks are real, but so is the momentum, built month by month by people who refuse to give up!

April: Renewables generated a record 32% of global electricity in 2024, according to @ember-energy.org. The transition is no longer hypothetical. Clean power is already reshaping energy systems, faster than many governments expected or planned for.

January: A Scottish court ruled the Rosebank oilfield approval unlawful, a major legal blow to one of the UK’s biggest undeveloped oil projects. ⛔🛢️ Years of community resistance & legal pressure paid off. Courts are increasingly forcing governments to follow their own #climate laws.

#OtD 1 Jan 1974 the UK govt implemented the three-day week to save electricity, which had been restricted by overtime ban by coal miners. The miners ended up bringing down the government and winning their pay increase. Learn more in our podcast: stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8072...

This year has been brutal for the #climate movement. Rollbacks, repression, & outright denial, especially in the US, have made progress feel fragile & uneven. Which is exactly why it matters to pause & look back at what did move forward in 2025. Here are 12 real wins 🏆, one for each month 🧵⬇️

Good morning. Let's make a collective resolution: this will be the year in which we start to turn things round.

Trump says the Epstein Files are a Democrat hoax, but only Democrats were guilty of crimes with Epstein. He says the DOJ should stop releasing files and everyone should stop talking about it, but also the DOJ should charge Democrats with crimes. This is how you talk when you’re guilty as hell.

🚨Whitehall flooded with darkness today as XRUK say A BETTER WORLD IS POSSIBLE #TheNationalEmergencyBriefing warned of climate threat to our food security and infrastructure yet #Labour have reopened the door on #Rosebank. 💚1.5 is dead but humanity is not. Will you walk with us and rebel for life?

7 years after XR first called for urgent climate action, a rapid transition away from fossil fuels, and citizen-led decision-making, none of those demands has been met. While we’ve been failed by this in power who’ve approving new fossil fuel projects while restricting climate protest.
