URGENT:8 activists, including 2 female climate defenders, were arrested today at NEMA headquarters while delivering a petition to save the critically important Lwera wetland. Silencing the voices of those who protect our environment is an injustice to us all. #FreeTheDefenders #SaveLwera

Thread 1/2: As activism against the #EACOP Project intensifies in Uganda, many youth activists leading the fight face strong resistance from the government and its agents to suppress and weaken them with prolonged detention and unscrupulous to pave the way for oil developments.

🚨@witnessradio.bsky.social has tracked 56 cases of arrest, detention & prosecution of #StopEACOP #EndFossilFuels activists in Uganda in 2025. People have been "suppressed & weakened with torture, unlawful arrests, & prolonged detentions accompanied by unscrupulous charges." None have been convicted.

SERIOUSLY?! 😡 David Lammy wants SHELL🛢️ & BAE SYSTEMS ☠️ inside the FCDO ministry?! Oil profiteers + arms dealers helping to run UK Govt’s foreign policy - you really couldn’t make this up. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

PRESS RELEASE: This UN process could reform global tax rules so that the richest individuals and multinational corporations like oil and gas companies are forced to pay their fair share for the pollution they cause. www.greenpeace.org/internationa...

Reform UK says if elected they'll slash taxes & restrictions for fossil fuel companies, grant new #OilAndGas licences, scrap net zero policies, support fracking & new coal mines. In 2024, almost half Reform’s donations were linked to climate denial & fossil fuel interests greens.scot/news/farage-...

The entire world is inspired by your braverly- the 12 members of Students Against EACOP Uganda currently on remand for protesting East African Crude Oil Pipeline

“This scheme cries out for judicial scrutiny. Seconding employees from powerful corporations to the Foreign Office or other ministries & vice versa is a recipe for potential serious conflicts of interest... Both Shell & BAE Systems have been accused of human rights violations...," Nicholas Hildyard

Nigel Farage & #ReformUK are in the pockets of the #FossilFuels industry. Now Reform has opened floodgates to dark money in UK politics by being the 1st party to accept crypto donations.

Update: 15 of our members will be brought back to Buganda Road Court Tomorrow from Luzira Maximum Security Prison where they have been on remand since 11th November due to calling for an end to EACOP @shellslies.bsky.social

The criticism from X-creters about Bluesky as an "echo chamber" are funny. 1. They exist in echo chambers and won the election 2. People agree about facts in many areas, how rockets are made, whether you need gasoline or water in your gas tank to make your car go. Sometimes, it's just reality.

When it comes to climate solutions, the "how" is as important as the "what." Where to start? drawdown.org/drawdown-roa...

A friend called #climate Instagram an “activist mall.” 💯 I honestly couldn’t have said it better myself.

My son is making a lemon tart for his friends. I like it.

The feeling I get the moment I hear someone praising the “MAGA” shit

Blessed Sunday folks!

If you see this post please say hi 👋🏽 I want to make sure I’m following you.

Wow, thank you all for following: 300k-plus followers on @bsky.app, for a site I only had 30k followers on before the election and that I barely checked. Crazy growth in just a couple of weeks. I am loving the energy and engagement, and lack of trolls, on this site. Aren't you?

Global solidarity with brave activists being targeted with arbitrary arrest & imprisonment in Uganda for peacefully campaigning for investment in renewable energy & to #StopEACOP #EndFossilFuels, which is devastating communities. We call on Uganda's govt to release them immediately & unconditionally

We are now watching He Died with a felafel in his hand. I wonder if this can bring @birmo.bsky.social back here. I miss him.

You're finally secure! Bluesky is a safe place for everyone 😊

Instead of using the last week of Parliament for the year to tackle cost of living crisis & violence against women @albomp.bsky.social is prioritising trying to create a global offshore detention regime to warehouse refugees, separate families & override the High Court. Absolutely shameful.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

This really does feel like the old science twitter 💙 🦋
