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.

💯 this - we need democratic oversight of every layer of government. They can't be trusted. They shouldn't be trusted.

There's no better way of communicating the insane trajectory of humanity in the 21st century than cartoons and no-one did it better than Jon Kudelka. Rest in power Jon. Here's his top ten. 1. Asteroid mitigation program

There’s a strong consensus in the social sciences that nonviolence is more effective than violence. Look it up. If you find it hard to believe, that might be because our culture is biased towards violent solutions. Because you are living in a patriachy.

Bad Bunny understood the assignment…

The key to equality, democracy and world peace? 🕊️ Men raising children. 👨‍🍼

“Political will” is invoked like magic fairy dust or an abstract variable. It isn’t. If scientists want their evidence to matter, they need to ask how political will is built through organising, mobilisation, & social movements that generate sustained pressure across society & force political action

💯 this. It's the system that promotes the worst of humanity. It's the system that needs to change.

Tony Benn was a prophet. “Today (1987) we had a meeting of the NEC & the Shadow Cabinet. Kinnock introduced the meeting and spoke for about 20 minutes. We went on to Peter Mandelson who said a few words. I find Mandelson a threatening figure for the future of the Party.”

if you think about it, there's nothing more British than uniting to defeat the far right

Why are the worst people on the planet teaming up to destroy everything we hold dear? History has the answer: we have a log jam in the "elite circulation" system. Over time, unchecked elite power drifts towards corruption and self-protection - until societies break. 🧵

Scooby Doo was ahead of its time because no matter what monster they unmasked, it always ended up being a creepy white guy terrorizing people for money.

We need a bit more nuance than “Epstein was Mossad so why are they calling him a Russian spy?” The truth is he was batting for Netenyahu, Putin, Trump, Farage, Bannon, Thiel, Dimon… Naked money and power. The very worst of humanity.

All right-thinking people are losing their shit about this.

For anyone wondering why Labour won’t tax the rich, here’s your answer.

The enquiry we need now is into how our society promotes narcissists, psychopaths and princes of darkness to the top.

The worse things get, the more important it is to be kind. Poem by Donna Ashworth.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS (You could be in a court room some day) Over the last few years, when juries have heard evidence of why people have taken direct action to advance climate or racial justice, or to stop genocide in Gaza, they have repeatedly found the accused not guilty.

The US is gearing up to literally starve Cuba into submission. It is absolutely criminal and obscene. And this to a country that everyone knows poses *zero* threat to the US. The people of Cuba need our full solidarity in resisting this onslaught.

A shoutout to the People Who Still Care About Greenhouse Gas Emissions......my peeps

To those saying, "but the Greens will split the vote": 1. Things have changed. 2. It's not the Green's fault that Starmer has the Merdas Touch (turns everything to shit) 3. When the Greens offer the only inspiring option, perhaps we should see the Labour candidate as splitting the vote.

Adversity gives us the chance to show the best of ourselves ❤️✊ #Minnesota

This is such an important statement because it signals that some things don't come down to a cost benefit analyis

ALEX JEFFREY PRETTI. Gone, but never forgotten... #RIP_Alex 💔

The return of ISIS in Syria? The Americans have deserted the people of Rojava - pioneers of democracy and their allies in defeating ISIS. Now the Syrian government is attacking Rojava and the US is having to airlift ISIS prisoners to Iraq to stop them escaping. @carneross.bsky.social explains.

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

So as I understand it, the argument of the NRA is they should be allowed to bear arms to stop a fascist, armed government right? Have they arrived in Minnesota yet to stop these guys?

Minnesota is the best of us.

The most important story in the world right now isn’t Greenland 👇

BREAKING: Syria has erupted into civil war once again. ISIS prisoners are breaking free and the precious, unique haven of democracy that is Rojava is under threat like never before.

More than half of Greenland's capital turnout to protest Donald Trump's planned invasion.

In the 1980s when playing for Newcastle Utd, Kevin Keegan was horrified to see the National Front distributing pamphlets from the precincts of St James’ Park. So he went into the boardroom and told them he would leave the club if the NF weren't removed. 👍✊ Get well soon Kevin. 🖤

BREAKING: massive defection to Reform, right on brand.

Marco Rubio, June 2012.

For the Yoruba of West Africa, moral character (ìwà pẹ̀lẹ́) is central: a person of wealth or intelligence but lacking good character is not regarded as truly human.

China hasn't invaded another country since 1979. Its military spending per capita is 40% less than the world average, and 1/20th that of the USA. 🤔

Iggy Pop says people who grew up in East Germany “work together well. They’re more idealistic. They’ll listen before they talk. They’ll try to form a consensus and that’s because they didn’t grow up in a place with a preponderous propaganda based around the cult of the individual”. Think about it.

Seeing this moments after sharing my thoughts on Le Guin's 'The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction' felt like a coincidence. In reality, of course, her writing from 40 years ago remains incredibly pertinent as our systems of power and violence remain resilient even in our cultural devices and mindsets.

We need to rebuild our societies in such a way that liars, narcissists and sociopaths can’t win power - and there are strong guardrails around them if they do.

Democracy doesn’t die in darkness. That’s always been a myth. It dies with strobe lights and lasers bombarding you from every direction. Don’t be distracted from: —Trump is deeply unpopular —Trump is openly corrupt —No Kings is the largest protest movement in US history

Salvador Allende of Chile became the first socialist to be democratically elected as president of a South American country in 1970, promising education for all, land reform, public ownership of key industries and an end to extreme inequality. Guess what happened next. 🧵 #Venezuela

Is this Capitalism? We never had mandatory accntng that Adam Smith implied, "read, write and ACCOUNT." We need a new name for the stupid consumerism we have had since the 1950s. "CorpsCon" We are being conned by corporations with Planned Obsolescence and Advertising! 😫 bsky.app/profile/redh... 😂

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this. He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

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 🧵⬇️

Good morning. Let's make a collective resolution: this will be the year in which we start to turn things round.

We need a Citizens Assembly to decide the Future of the BBC, our BBC Free the Media. Now.

Our word for 2026 is RESPAIR A 14th century English word that means rediscovering hope after a period of dark despair. Are you ready to respair this year - and build a better tomorrow for all?

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.
