This is what the establishment meant when they described Keir Starmer as a "safe pair of hands" - he's continuing the trend started in 1979. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

I know this might be a bit controversial, but I have an inkling that the people who banned @doctorswithoutborders.org might actually NOT be the #GoodGuys™. Absolutely crazy, I know. 🥹 #Israel #Gaza

Nu Labour, once again kowtowing to the corporations. Every new house should have solar panels and batteries. House builders, like all corporations, only want to maximise their profits. Gotta grovel to #Capitalism eh Starmer? 🤔

Let me be explicit. If you hear anyone say replacing fossil fuels with renewables is going to be expensive, they're either misinformed, uninformed, or lying to you. Even leaving out the massive economic costs of #climate changes caused by burning fossil fuels, #renewables are cheaper now.

Every major movement in history was built by people who didn’t fully agree with each other. If someone’s with you 70–80% of the way, they’re not your enemy, they’re your ally.

Factory farming isn't just about animals. It’s also about farmers trapped in crushing debt and contracts they can’t escape. We’re currently building a fellowship to take this system on and only need to raise $8,100 more to reach our fundraising goal! Donate + learn more: moralambition.org/food

This video will probably get fewer likes than my posts on taxing billionaires. That difference says it all. Factory farming only survives if we don’t look. It’s time to hold these companies accountable. Every donation is matched, so $1 becomes $2 through Dec 31, 2025. Donate: MoralAmbition.org/food

UK govt should end rail outsourcing ‘racket’. Passenger services brought into public ownership in name only. Privatised security and catering suppliers, £150m profits last year. Rolling stock privatised, public purse to pay £3bn+ to lease it. Lucrative rail freight remains privatised.

Climate change doesn't care whether it's Christmas Day, New Year's Day or Friday the 13th, it just keeps on accelerating urged on by the insatiable greed of fossil fuel billionaire cheer-leaders

Relentless "improvement" of the countryside leaves no space for nature. But ever more people are now helping the wild return, through *rewilding*. No matter who you are or where you live, you too have a part to play in the fight. There is no better New Year's resolution.

Looking back on 2025, this was a big one for us. 3.5 months of radio silence since then, so, yeah, it was harassment.

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 🧵⬇️
