The culture we need to foster is one in which the public sees comments like this and responds accordingly.

Best understood, Labour's attack on juries, as a further lurch towards authoritarianism. Who, now, will stand in the way of a State that wants to imprison its opponents?

Given that the BBC endlessly gives platforms to lobbyists from the dark money junktanks without revealing their interests, shouldn't we be seeing such apologies every day? Better still, how about not doing it? If they want to appear, we should know on whose behalf they are speaking.

Why would a government want to scrap juries? Is it so they can pass sentences that the gov wants, but the people object to? Feels very 1984 to me… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... @defendourjuries.bsky.social @amnestyuk.bsky.social @lawyersfornature.bsky.social

Well said.

Community assemblies are the new frontline of class conflict: the administrators vs the administered. They’ll try to derail the common will with “engagement” and pompous speeches, but change is coming. www.newstatesman.com/ideas/2025/1...

"The world can either prioritise universal human rights by sharing resources... Or it can attempt to protect a small, wealthy minority through walls, mass deportations and border violence on an unprecedented scale." Which will our governments choose to do? 🤔 theconversation.com/how-the-rich...

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

Tehran is a 7 thousand year old city that will soon become ruins because of a climate mega drought.

I think one of the Naomi Klien books points out that, starting in the mid 90s, it was projected to cost about 1% of global gdp per year for only 30 years address climate change. If the world had committed to that back then we'd be finished already. Imagine.

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

The catastrophic illegal waste dumping in Oxfordshire (see next post) is a direct result of the deregulation-by-stealth I wrote about in 2021, when my dead goldfish became a registered waste disposer. I warned it would let the mafia in. And here we are.🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Our govt is adapting to the impacts of climate change. And it's opposite to the transformative adaptation we need. theconversation.com/how-the-rich... This is a great article from @theconversation.com @climatemajority.bsky.social

This video shows how utterly ludicrous the ban on Palestine Action is. If these people holding cardboard signs are really dangerous terrorists, surely the police would make sure they arrest all of them, not just a handful??

Seven in ten people think papers regularly publish false information. Sounds like we need a #MediaRevolution

We are all one war, one hurricane, one military coup, one wildfire, one drought, one economic collapse away from becoming an "asylum seeker".

It’s actually mad that me and the far-right have exactly the same take. No notes.

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable. A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." Malcolm X. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There is no such thing as "illegal" asylum seeking, yet the British press continues to make this very basic error. On behalf of whom?

Who has the golden ticket? Asylum seekers: Born lucky, have more than one home, provided with everything they want, live in a secure compound, constant sense of entitlement Billionaires: Extremely vulnerable, persecuted at home, need a safe place to live, escaping danger, constant sense of fear

Storm Chevron devastating climate impacts. It will only get worse. Yet we continue to produce and burn oil and gas. We need to adapt to the changes we've already baked in. We need to transform society, economics, politics to survive. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... @climatemajority.bsky.social

Most people in the UK still believe in the power of royalty. And we accept that a knighthood is created from nothing with a tap of the King’s sword. Yet many refuse to accept that the government creates money in exactly the same way: by tapping a few keys on a keyboard. youtu.be/Nt-_qzKRI2Y?...

No Kumi you didn’t embarrass us or yourself. You acted with courage, with heart, with passion and for once decision makers saw in these halls a plea COMMENSURATE WITH THE SCALE OF THE CRISIS. It was absolutely epic and I am so proud to have the honour of working with @kuminaidoo.bsky.social

The large increase from 2018-2021 was driven by #Climate activism. Lesson: The widespread mobilisation of the climate emergency movement ( @fridaysforfuture.bsky.social @xrglobal.bsky.social, @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social @endegelaende.bsky.social ) was crucial for creating political salience

spot on

Seems like a concerted effort from the right wing of the Labour party to pave the way for the corrupt Wes Streeting to be next PM. Another example of our entirely undemocratic political system. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #Broken #Politics

Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

Interesting post. The coalition "would exclude petrostates refusing to play by the same rules" (inc US currently) ... and “China is now making more money from exporting green technology than the US makes from exporting fossil fuels.” #Climate #Crisis #Renewables

Very powerful and much-needed stuff from @chrisgpackham.bsky.social I hope the MPs who supposedly represent us, and make decisions on our behalf, listen and act on the evidence. This would be a reversal of over 30 years of inaction and delay, but as we teeter on the edge, it must be worth a try. 🤞

Join the GSI for our next talk with Professor Dame Henrietta Moore, UCL, social anthropologist and author of "Roadkill", who will discuss how we can move towards a car free future and sustainable transport for all. Email [email protected] to confirm your attendance. #GSIExeter #ClimateAction

Understandably over the moon that the incredible Chris Packham agreed to not only open the National Emergency Briefing, but also to do a series of high profile interviews about the initiative 👊🔥💚

For #MediaLiberationDay activists targeted billionaire media owners who pump out print with division and disinformation by disrupting the headlines of news stands. Each #CoverStory warns people of the dangers of disinformation and division by billionaire media owners!

Empty words from Milliband and Starmer. If the govt *really* cared about reducing the impacts of climate breakdown, it wouldn't be expanding airports, subsidising fossil fuels and considering licensing the huge Rosebank oilfield. www.theguardian.com/environment/... #Cop30 #Climate #Greenwash

Oh no! Zohran Mamdani's victory in New York has let the billionaire cat out of the bag. EVERYONE in the US & UK wants the socialist goodies he's offering - and the game's up for capitalism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfdU...

I am *still* not using Facebook or Instagram, or corporate-controlled outlets NYT or Wall Street Journal, from April 2025 to now. My attention is valuable--yours too💰 Here's a how-to guide: imaginethenews.com/media-libera... #MediaLiberationDay #MediaRevolution #TheRevolutionWillNotBeMonetized

The UK media dehumanises migrants and refugees fleeing war zones, using terms such as invasion, flood, and illegals. This is designed to stoke public hostility and legitimise political scapegoating. Boycott billionaire-owned media. #CoverStory #MediaRevolution @media-revolution.bsky.social

Toxic billionnaire-owned media has eroded our democracy. We need a media revolution. #CoverStory #MediaRevolution @media-revolution.bsky.social
