Climate Justice and the University: Reclaiming Higher Education for the Public Good as Polycrises Worsen @jenniecstephens.bsky.social from @maynoothuniversity.ie speaking at weekly @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social politics seminar

Public understanding doesn't get to be this wrong just by accident ! Here's looking at you Tufton Street -Fleet street nexus 🤨

The people most impacted by climate change are the least likely to have caused it. The wealthy individuals most responsible for this destruction stay in the shadows. Naming storms after billionaires will make it impossible for them to hide. Add you name! action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-11...

Good evening, comrades. “You know a brothers gotta eat, right?” #BobVylan: youtu.be/st6qnWeePDY?... Fuck the MSM. #EBT #SNAP

Yet more report whiplash, as groups vie to frame the #climate discourse ahead of #COP30. "progress... has largely failed to materialize" "Renewables are expanding faster than any previous energy technology" "No major economy is on track" "emerging markets have made major strides"

Next Thursday (13th) for anyone who is around Dublin - in conversation with the brilliant Sinéad Mercier. Register at link below. www.tudublin.ie/explore/abou...

The elephant in the room is the impossibility of mainstream media to fathom the possibility of a movement of hope built on values of neutrality, peace and social justice against the deep alienation from politics that so many feel in this country. www.rte.ie/news/analysi...

Grateful for this woman's emotion and clarity. 'Everyone deserves to have a safe home, no matter what country you come from.' www.rte.ie/video/id/288...

Stephen Collins actually wrote the exact same piece in February. Aren't we lucky to have such sharp and rigorous journalists.

“The prevailing assumption is that the world has closed off pathways above 3°C warming – but in fact we could be derailed by vicious cycles in societies & nature. Catastrophic environmental change is still very much on the table“ - @jamesgdyke.info Assistant Director of @gsiexeter.bsky.social

🥳🎉 “This is a major step forward. It’s a relief to see the Court recognise... that new oil and gas fields threaten our most basic human rights. Requiring governments to assess the global #climate consequences of oil &gas combustion before approving new fossil projects is common sense,& long overdue"

23/ Taken together it is hard to escape McGeown & @profjohnbarry.bsky.social's regrettable conclusion that in their current operations "universities play a key role in the reproduction of un-sustainability” www.frontiersin.org/journals/sus...

Budget 2026 leaves us more exposed to the ravages of climate change than ever Spending almost four times more on subsidising fossil fuels than we do on climate change mitigation shows the utter contempt this government has for the environment archive.is/ZOUmn #SpeirGorm #Budget25 #Climate

Trump Classifies “Anti-Capitalism” as a Political Pre-Crime @jacobinmagazin.bsky.social jacobin.com/2025/10/trump-classifies-anti-capitalism-as-a-political-pre-crime

DUPers not only attacking the NI Climate Change Act, its now against surveys on it, including school children... Carla Lockhart MP in today's Newsletter claims the survey is 'manipulative'... I've pasted some of the survey questions below for people to make up their own minds

Hopefully every military personnel understands their OATH & understands UMCJ.

I wonder if this was expressed as publicly owned, or socially owned, supermarkets would the response be different? If we can't get the majority of people behind not for profit groceries (supporting local, sustainable food production), we're losing. www.thejournal.ie/state-owned-...

7 Local Councils have passed a motion calling on the Govnt to retain the Triple Lock. The motion was due to come before Galway Council today but it was deemed 'irrelevant' to the needs of city and county. Protest today against this latest effort to block democratic debate.

Northern Ireland is caught in a brutal cycle - poverty and division grow while elites and their political allies manipulate sectarian games to protect obscene wealth and unaccountable power. As they enrich themselves, local communities are left behind with broken promises and few opportunities.
