I am old enough to recall as far back as 2018 when Cooper sported a suffragette rosette. A reminder that the suffragettes, unlike Palestine Action, actually planted bombs and destroyed property.

A despicable abuse of the Terrorism Act, and completely undermines its purpose. To suggest PA needs to be proscribed for peaceful protests and acts of minor vandalism, while our country is actively engaged in supporting genocide, is disgraceful authoritarianism. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

We’re told these welfare cuts are the start of “reform”. But what kind of reform starts by taking billions from those already struggling? If this is the plan - to balance the books by shredding an already ragged safety net - I won’t back it. Real reform uplifts. It doesn’t punch-down.

A resonance phenomenon is causing big waves in the atmosphere. And that has increased due to #globalwarming, causing wild summer extremes, a new data analysis finds. The mechanism was first identified in 2013 by the late Vladimir Petoukhov at the Potsdam Institute. apnews.com/article/extr...

EXTREMELY ANNOYING The climate movement spent millions of $ over decades focusing on just transition, helping displaced workers, yet climate action still gets broadly criticised as causing 'job losses' Tech bros pop up saying "I WANT TO DESTROYJOBS ASAP" and get a glowing write-up in the NYT 🤨🧐🆒🗑️

I know there's a lot happening in the world right now, but I can't find any news reporting at all of this major new study published in Science. Where's the #climate coverage?! "We therefore need to cut GHG emissions even further to have a chance of keeping global warming below 2 degrees"

Trump is cutting National Cancer Institute funding by $2.7B in the name of “saving taxpayer dollars.” John Harwood points out that Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires are 18 times that amount. But unlike billionaire tax cuts, federally funded research is a “return on investment for the entire country.

Don't let all the news distract you from the ongoing starvation and killing of Palestinians in Gaza. The Israeli govt is deliberately trying to prevent news getting out . It dismisses what news there is as Hamas propaganda while refusing to let international journalists in. An information war too.

Uncertainty in the face of serious danger is of course no reason to ignore it. Passing that #AMOC tipping point by mid-century looks increasingly likely in light of recent studies. And there’s also a more imminent, albeit a bit less detrimental risk: bsky.app/profile/rahm...
