It would be the right thing .

"[A new British intelligence report] echoes warnings some of us have made for years, only to be dismissed as nutters, doomsayers and extremists." "Every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse...” You won't find more crucial reading than this.

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift. It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

Boycott the World Cup Not a foot should be set in that country until the madness stops

I know not what to say after this day. Please accept some natural beauty. We are but nothing, We return to the great void, Make the best of it. #Photography #Auroraborealis #Haiku

ICE uses extrajudicial violence and intimidation for political ends. It's unconstrained by the law, unaccountable to the public. Its crimes are endorsed at the highest levels. What does this tell us? That it's the force of paramilitary thugs all fascist movements & governments use. It is Trump’s SS.

Your 'moment of doom' for Jan. 25, 2026 ~ heat locally, warm globally "This new study points out that while the overall effect on climate is small, the local effect on ocean temperatures in the tropics can be larger." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Beautiful

Wild places are the *real* gold in life.

A friend just asked me this: Why can’t people be kind to one another? #GeopoliticalDecay #DictatorsPlaybook #WarLogic #NormalizationOfEvil

Board of Peace - Season 1

You misspelled "BORED".

1. This short thread is about the issue that dominates almost every aspect of politics, and causes or exacerbates most of our problems: the extreme wealth of a small number of people. Here’s the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest. 🧵1/10

"mining the fertility"

Question: What formed Irish soils after the last Ice Age? Answer: Natural ecosystems such as rainforest, over 1,000s of years. Conclusion: Sheep grazing uplands (for eg) is just mining the fertility built up by the very nature it killed off and continues to keep out, while giving NOTHING back.

Carney: "In a time of rising populism and ethnic nationalism, Canada can show how diversity is a strength, not a weakness... Canada can't solve all the world's problems. But we can show that another way is possible. That the arc of history isn't destined to be warped toward authoritarianism".

Gaza flattened. Two million people in tents. Sixty million tons of debris. But good news! A Peace Board is dreaming big: Riviera vibes, airport selfies, shiny towers by the sea. Minor details pending: who pays, who decides, who profits…and where the Palestinians fit into this exciting new vision.

Well?

I’d rather be talking biodiversity, conservation, sustainability. Governance under change. Complex, messy. No picnic. For sure. ...Instead, the geopolitical sideshow is on a maddeningly fast spin. Hard to look away. Harder to ignore. ...Hoping ecosystems get their turn again. #MeMyselfI #Metalevel

Today in Davos, Trump unveils his so-called “peace board.” Members: mostly authoritarians. Entry fee: $1B, paid into a fund he controls. #WEF2026 #Davos #PayToPlay #AuthoritarianClub

Inaugural Board of Peace meeting is under way

What a speech!

McGovern: Well, he said a lot of crazy shit today. I think it’s time to take the keys away from grandpa. He doesn’t seem like he’s all there.

Bravo

Martin Luther King Jr. understood better than almost anyone that racial justice and economic justice are inextricably intertwined. Watch his powerful call to end poverty from his final Sunday Sermon.

Undermining vaccines from inside government is not debate. It’s institutionalized irresponsibility. Dangerous. Reckless. Familiar. #1933 #Gleichschaltung #ScienceUnderAuthoritarianism #TrumpRegime

"Sunday thought: It's time again for good trouble" open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Everyone with authority must speak out now against Trump's depravity and lawlessness. Every Democratic leader. Every university, professional association, charity, and foundation head. Every CEO. Every religious leader. If they don't, history will condemn their cowardice and complicity.

uff!

Masked government agents are killing people in the streets, abducting people from their homes in the middle of the night, and arresting those who speak out. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

This is why documentation matters now. Document everything. Names, timelines, footage, witnesses, vantage points. Even if there is no accountability today. Regimes end. Records remain. Justice, healing, and legitimacy begin with evidence. #AugeSeiWachsam #NieWieder

this is exactly the problem with this regime. incompetence trumps everything. sycophants acting to push the presidents agenda. authocracy chapter 2: spin your narrative. dominate the narrative.

Federal agents. Masked. Unmarked. Brutal. Could be Russia. Could be Uzbekistan. Could be Iran. Could be China. Could be Angola. That’s the problem. #ICE #Autocracy

From outside the US, I am appalled and disgusted. This regime shows open contempt for democratic values. For people. Citizens must vote it out entirely, and fast. Democracy cannot wait. #Venezuela #ICE #DefendDemocracy #RuleOfLaw #VoteThemOut

Abolish ICE. Really.

Footage from a national park in Gabon. A horde of mandrills Mandrillus sphinx, estimated around 800 individuals. Rare to see wildlife at this scale. Impressive. 🌿 #Gabon #Mandrills #Biodiversity

Satellites & people agree when forests fall, #Deforestation. Not when they fade, #Degradation. 🌳 Deforestation shows in pixels. Degradation endures in memory. Local eyes see what sensors miss. This matters for governance. #LocalKnowledge #WestAfrica #REDDplus #TechnocraticError #ClimateJustice

🌍 2024 pushed the planet harder. Hottest year. Record fires. Rising seas. Melting ice 🖤 The crisis worsened on all fronts. Yet warming can still be limited if action is fast and fair. 💙 #ClimateCrisis #HeatRecords #SeaLevelRise #IceMelt #ExtremeWeather #COP30Belem

“We are all walking ecosystems". 🌍 🌎 🌏 The extinction crisis outside mirrors what happens inside us. Lose nature, lose microbes, lose health. 🌿🧬💔 #BiodiversityHypothesis #Microbiome #Nature #Health

🌍 Africa’s wildlife is losing its “ecological power.” This is the energy that keeps nature working. Elephants, rhinos, lions and birds once moved nutrients, spread seeds and shaped the land. That flow has dropped by more than a third since pre-colonial times. #Africa #Wildlife #Nature

🧵 The Tropical Forests Forever Fund, hope or trap? 🌳 Carbon offsets are failing. Can a new plan save the rainforests? The Tropical Forests Forever Fund aims to treat forest protection as a global public good, backed by long-term finance. Ambitious. Risky. Needed. #Rainforests #TFFF #COP30Belem

In Sweden this is what my generation grew up with. Of course we called them forests. We are a text book example of the shifting baseline syndrome.
