"We see [Israeli] attacks still occurring. But we also see complete impunity." Amnesty International USA’s Amanda Klasing tells @premthakker.bsky.social the organization warned the White House in 2023 about Israel’s non-adherence to international humanitarian law. Watch: zeteo.com/p/how-the-us...

Farage's fossil-fuel-financed gang of privately-educated former Tories wants to scrap the Equality Act, halt action on the climate crisis and frack the UK. A vote for Farage is a vote for Trumpist politics in the UK: www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Did you know pigs can learn their own names, just like dogs? Pigs are highly intelligent – but tragically billions of them suffer in cages every year. 💔 On 5 March, we’ll take our #EndTheCageAge case to the EU Court of Justice - to hold the EU to its promise to ban cages ➡️ buff.ly/1uy1Sto

AI is being rolled out at breakneck speed — jobs lost, artists scraped, data centres swallowing land and power — while ordinary people get no say. If the future is being coded, it must be democratically decided. Join the March Against The Machines pulltheplug.uk/matm-sign-up/

Tipping points of the #Antarctic ice sheet revealed! Temperatures of 1–2 °C above preindustrial levels triggers the long-term collapse of 40% of marine ice in West Antarctica once the ice sheet fully responds. Marine-based sectors in East Antarctica are at risk of losing stability at 2–5 °C.

🚨 It’s time to get serious about adaptation. Olivia Blake MP—CNCC Chair—warns as vital ecosystems begin to collapse, we remain deeply unprepared. Placing climate adaptation at the heart of political decision-making is essential to protect communities, restore trust, and secure our futures.

A new report by the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change (ESABCC) advises officials to prepare for +2.8-3.3°C by 2100. One member of ESABCC says "it's not rocket science"...😵‍💫

If Britain had a functioning fourth estate, Reform would not exist. To put it another way, the collapse of journalism directly enabled this firm of spivs and charlatans to lie their way to prominence.

“Overfishing, nutrient pollution and disease have pushed these fragile ecosystems to a critical tipping point, if they have not already passed it. The question is whether recovery is still possible. It is clear that action to limit global warming as quickly as possible is crucial.”

🚨 Lord Banner & Lord Grabiner have tabled a new attempt to override protections for parks across England. They want to allow councils & developers to remove legal protections safeguarding public open spaces, applying regardless of if the land was sold before or after legislation would take effect 😠

@esabcc.bsky.social calls for strengthened adaptation policy in new report. Europe is warming about x2 the global average, with rising temperatures driving more frequent and severe heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, flooding, sea-level rise and coastal erosion. www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late...

"This elite circle of abuse is another manifestation of the problem we’re trying to address—the extreme concentration of wealth and power that is destroying our society. Wealth becomes power, power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Hurrah - and congratulations to the brave medics! And why we need juries!

Petition: action.eko.org/a/uk-governm...

It really is time that #Starmer and #Cooper as key architects of the ridiculous Palestine Action ban apologise to all affected. Those in #Gaza, @defendourjuries.bsky.social especially those like Tim Crosland - who have been basically persecuted, and all those farcically arrested .. Then resign

Stop the stitch-up! The Government wants to push through water legislation, locking in a failed privatised system for decades without giving the public a say. I’ve signed the petition to stop this water stitch-up and demand a public consultation. Add your name: actionnetwork.org/petitions/st...

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison. Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water. Our priorities are so fucked.

It's galling to contemplate but I really think you have to admit that Musk buying X was an unqualified victory. It can't be exaggerated just how much prominent journalists, pundits, business type, etc. mistake the vibe on X for "how the country is feeling."

The UK was declared measles free in 2017. Vaccine programs completely eliminated it. Since then, pro sickness conspiracy theorists and anti science idiots have enabled its return.

We need more stories that help people learn from what’s working. Not just what’s going wrong. Not just what “has to happen by 2050.” Real examples of action that others can see, understand & build on. Here's a 🧵on advice & tips for sharing #climate stories that actually inspire action.

The ecological crisis is unprecedented in scale and scope, so no, countries have not had to do this before, but you’d have to be wilfully blind to think they don’t have to do it now. You’d also have to be kidding or paid to say that harnessing wind and sun is more primitive than burning fossil fuels

A great article by @jasonhickel.bsky.social and @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social. But I do wish we could all stop using the wolf as a metaphor for the worst kinds of human behaviour. Wolves are wonderful creatures, endlessly maligned - and also victims of capitalism. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

When you think of the time, effort and money they've wasted on this vicious folly, when we have so many pressing problems, it makes you want to weep with anger. And to see a Labour government bending over backwards to facilitate genocide and lock up its critics is enough to make anyone despair.

The ban was justified by Yvette Cooper, who imposed it when she was Home Secretary, on the grounds that she knew some special secrets about PA the rest of us didn't: a shocking abuse of government privilege. She has never produced this "evidence", and we have reasons to believe it does not exist.

Nearly 3,000 peaceful people have been arrested under this outrageous ban. It was brought in after lobbying by arms companies and Netanyahu's government. It has been condemned by UN rapporteurs and many other experts. All the while, our government has been collaborating in real state terrorism.

BREAKING: UK Government ban on Palestine Action unlawful, judges rule An attempt to pretend that a direct action group were terrorists has failed Kudos to those who have stood up for UK protest rights Bad news for the many authoritarians in the UK govt www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live...

Palestine Action have WON their judicial review in the High Court! A massive victory for free speech, freedom of association and the right to protest. A massive defeat for the draconian attempts by Keir Starmer's government to curtail our fundamental rights.

Breaking: on two counts, the High Court has ruled that the Labour government's proscription of the campaign group Palestine Action was unlawful – a win for its co-founder Huda Ammori, who sought a judicial review of the ban
