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 🧵⬇️

it's becoming very clear now isn't it. РЕФОРМА REFORMA

That’s a serious escalation, and we've heard nothing about it from our own government.

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Bother, no Knighthood for me again this year :-) lol

A year of reasons why Ofwat should just say NO to Thames Water's outrageous deal: a licence to pollute our water until 2040. JULY: TW pays more in fees to get £3bn bailout than it paid in fines for the 💩in our rivers. Tell Ofwat to reject the Thames Water deal. #OFWATsayNO vist.ly/4jwt4

A year of reasons why Ofwat should just say NO to Thames Water's outrageous deal: a licence to pollute our water for the next 15 years. JULY: Thames Water gives £2.5m in fat cat payouts despite Ofwat's bonus ban. Tell Ofwat to reject the Thames Water deal. #OFWATsayNO vist.ly/4jur7

The Immigration Act of 1924 helped keep out Italian immigrants, who were considered non-white. Dino Paul Crocetti changed his name to Dean Martin for his career. Frank Sinatra refused to change his name. Here he is reminding kids what it means to be accepting of differences…and not act like Nazis.

Chatted to my great uncle yesterday – a northern, working-class guy, not that political. I told him my job involved exposing Farage. His first question was: “who funds him?” Investigations into Farage’s donors can have a major impact on Reform’s support – as this research has already shown 👇

Years of top education might lead clever doctors to diagnose: Anhedonia? Catatonia Dysphonia Dystonia Insomnia ✅ OR- a perfectly sane healthy functional normal response to the dystopia (the hell that we adults have put all kids in🙀) Well it’s hardly Utopia is it? 🐨 #thisYoungKoala

Not like the Telegraph to mis-inform? (Apart from they do it all the time)

Seems to me ‘clever’ tech bro wealth has up-ended THE biggest vital life truths: Eg Q: is it wrong to steal/kill? A: No, genocide is fine if you pay enough bribes & lawyers Q: has a century of extracting & burning fossil fuel heated up the planet? A: Not while our bot-farms shout: IT’S A HOAX🔥

I suppose it IS possible that some ‘farmers’ (such a broad category) are hard-done-by, struggling, taken for granted, tired, & hard up 🧙‍♂️ And some others (maybe a minority?) privileged, powerful, wealthy, used to getting what they want: & expecting special exemption 🦊🎩 Both can be partly true 🤷‍♂️

My wish? 🧞‍♂️🪄🧚🧜🏼‍♂️🧝‍♂️🧌🦸‍♂️ @aoc.bsky.social to rid the world of the sick thug toxic man-child liar, and his ilk. In 2028. Preferably much sooner. Others can help. But only AOC has the guts, clarity and integrity to lead us all out of this mess 🗽⚖️✊👼

Every year: nice 'signing-off-now' messages🎄 from 'susty professionals', taking a long break? Our Earth: dying; many sat by Her bedside🌍 the activist, love-led, unpaid, justice community has no time off I know this sounds harsh, but life and death can be? PS When GB🇬🇧 rowing I trained on Xmas day🚣‍♂️

My 1970s: being groomed for The Establishment📈 1980s: enjoying the privileges (unaware, then)🏅 1990s: becoming a dad: questioning everything; -my best professional efforts mean diddly-squat? 2000s: a time for unlearning, for activism: rebellion⌛ 2020: fuck we've lost this! 🌍 Game-over, kids: is-it?

I've been back in the graveyard today, squatting amongst the damp moss with a pair of forceps and my macro lens trying to get the best possible photo of Atheniella delectabilis. These are truly tiny. Here are the results. #fungi #fungifriends

THE MONSTER IS REAL Don't leave your kids alone with the #ClimateCrisis !👹 None of the world's major economies have a climate plan that meets their obligations under the 2015 Paris Agreement. This is of course excluding huge parts of our emissions & aspect of equity. Not even then are we on track.

Hans Christian Andersen's tale of the Emperor's New Clothes is just as valid today as it was 188 yrs ago From policy makers to mitigation modellers (IAMs), business leaders to celebrities, we have fallen for a tale weaved from "fairy dust"… & emissions just keep on rising @kevinclimate.bsky.social

How would it feel to wake every morning knowing that you were here to help all life to flourish? That as a species, we could still become self-conscious nodes in the web of life, to act for the good of all? accidentalgods.life/of-beetles-w... #accidentalgods #Podcast #biomimicry #WritersofBlueSky

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information. Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?
