I think many of us go "oh, look - I must stay in and find air-conditioning" - but there's huge impacts!! Millions of trees will die although maybe not this week, water sources, food/farming (orchards...), humans and more-than-human lives are all massively negatively impacted - long term.

Yikes this is bad.

What people don't talk about is the higher fuel consumption for heavier vehicles (even if they're more efficient than they used to be, a lighter weighing vehicle is still using less fuel!) at a time when we all need less fossil fuels being burned up on the roads

Bills up. Wages too low. Record profits for Oil & Gas. 50 richest families with more wealth than 50% of population. Shit in our rivers. Pensioners jailed for protesting. Migrants thrown under the bus. Supporting a Genocide. That's Starmer's legacy.

There is no benefit of AI, for a creative. It steals your ideas, and cannot improve them. Lots of BSky Authors confirm in comments here that creatives hate AI, are removing "helpful" software or shifting to Linux, recording themselves, to PROVE their process was human.

Climate has changed - we need serious adaptation protocols supported from top government to local council - e.g. MILLIONS of trees in Europe will be exposed to fatal temperature shock this week, we need action to respond and adapt to the effects. The new European Climate is not temperate anymore.

I just signed a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social petition: Health Secretary James Murray: Trigger the break clause and get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/94...

Wow. The Green Party aren't just in second place on 21%. They are FIVE points ahead of Labour. The Gorton and Denton by-election is convincing Labour voters the Greens aren't a wasted vote. And they're just 2 points behind Reform!

Keir Starmer when you were running for Labour leader you promised to introduce this legislation to stop the UK being dragged into illegal wars - it's time to show you were serious about that.

Today I tabled a bill which would require any UK military intervention to have a lawful basis, viable objective, and approval by MPs - legislation the PM once said he himself would pass when he was running for Labour leader. He supported it then, and he should support it now.

This is exceptionally useful.

Lol. That's what we call a "checkmate".

British public services must exclude profit-hungry political US tech firms. Tell Starmer Government to scrap any contracts with billionaire Thiel's firm Palantir. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

The ones ones on this pack are all vetted. I've confirmed their vetting process is legit. But, unlike AltNPS, they are individual accounts, meaning they have their own posting voice - not rammed through marketing filter. They won't all post "nicely", basically, but their information is solid.

Mamdani: I am in support of abolishing ICE… I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home, dragged out of their life.

Make it viral.

While we're all looking the other way (for good reasons!) this is happening...

Less sea ice means more heat absorption by the water This is the beginning of an amplifying feedback loop. One that we do not want.

That other Thing we need to keep talking about. #GlobalClimateWarming #SlowEmissions #JustStopOil

Photo of the Day. Around HALF of Greenland’s adult population is believed to have attended anti-Trump protests today. This photo was taken by Sean Gallup for Getty Images. It captures the thousands who gathered in the capital Nuuk, to reject Trump’s threats to take the island.

Another critical issue we hardly have mental space to think about - reducing our CO2 and other Greenhouse gas emissions, urgently, as a global population. #BetterPoliticiansNow #AddressIssues #FacingOurPredicament

Don't stop talking about what's ongoing in Gaza - like Iran, Ukraine, Sudan, Myanmar, Syria, DRCongo, Haiti, Nigeria, Yemen, the Sahel and elsewhere, innocent people are dying in the name of someone else's beliefs and greed.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

When you consider Greenland’s entire population is only 56,500, this is a staggering and historic turnout. Thousands seen here marching to protest at the US Consulate on the island. An entire nation united in defiance against a foreign adversary. (🎥 Orla Joelsen)

In 1916, the US was worried that Germany might take control of the Danish West Indies to use as a submarine base. So, Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to the USA, with the colony becoming the US Virgin Islands. In exchange, the USA acknowledged Denmark's complete sovereignty over Greenland.

Keir Starmer did everything he could to be US poodle and his strategy has ended in total humiliation. Both him and Farage are puppets of a hostile foreign nation. It's obvious that if someone is a bully - you don't just keep appeasing them. Disastrous strategy by Labour.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

What the EU can do: invoke the Anti-Coercion Instrument (2023). It was designed so the EU could respond and seek reparations for situations where a third country pressures the EU into policy choices by threatening or applying trade and investment measures.

Swiddening in the 21st Century - Upland/Mountain rice planting with Pakagayaw communities of the Karen people in Northern Thailand. So much to learn from these indigenous farmers, thanks David and Karn open.substack.com/pub/animists...

Won't be spoken about enough. Trump's government's changes to scientific research and data collection programs are now literally killing people, as well as costing money for losses that could be mitigated with the right warnings/preparedness.

"Polanski slammed” reports the Daily Express. The person doing that “slamming” is, err, Daily Express journalist Carole Malone. And the reason? Because I want us to follow a science led public health approach to regulate drug use.

Council Tax is so regressive - urgent reform is needed. Proud to be one of the MPs who signed this letter: acorntheunion.org.uk/press-releas...

I wrote a chapter on this issue back in 2014 lwbooks.co.uk/product/wome...

It says something about how distorted political debate has become is in the UK that you almost never hear a frontline politician talking seriously about harm reduction with drugs yet almost everyday a frontbencher from a national party will make a barely concealed racist claim about immigration.

We know what needs to be done. Our economic system forces us to limit action, to protect companies profit. We need to change the system.

Brave citizen action!! Abuse of water systems by corporate players like Anglian/Thames Water and others is criminal. Access to potable drinking water is reducing globally - no individual even hidden by a company - can be allowed to waste, hoard or pollute it.

Kneeling on the neck of a child? If this isn't fascism, then I don't know what is!

Sense talking. Handing our problems to a thibking machine 'big daddy' but we humans still need to actually DO - with the resources in hand. (Less those needed by AI)

A very good investment in our future!

Humans, like all primates and many other animals, inherently understand fairness. A few psychopaths keep telling us different, but they are not us.
