Sounds like there were several major problems with this trial process. But the most basic is that judges think "the existence of a climate emergency is a matter of opinion" - although this was one of the agreed facts in the case 🤪 Hope justice prevails for these folk 🤞

How do we redefine the #climate and #nature movement to include everyone who cares about climate and nature (that's 80+% of the population)? I'd like to hear Rupert Read @rupertread.bsky.social share some ideas at this talk at #Exeter Uni @gsiexeter.bsky.social www.exeter.ac.uk/events/detai...

Cars ruin cities in more ways than just running people over. Paris has reduced air pollution by 50-55% over the past 20 years through policies limiting traffic and banning polluting vehicles.

MPs and private companies working together to rip off everybody else. It's become systematic and normalised. Let's change things using people power.

Prominent climate communicators continue to "joke" that what Trump is doing is "degrowth". It is not, and such claims are actively harmful. A quick🧵

Dear Met Police, "serious disruption" = the climate crisis. That's what we need to be preventing, not peaceful protest.

Police broke into and raided a Quaker meeting house to disrupt 6 women meeting about the Gaza suffering and climate. The first arrest in a meeting house in living memory. Truly shocking. Quakers stand absolutely for non violence. Is there another side to this? www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

Bizarre that if you assault your wife you get a 12 week suspended sentence, (so you don't even go to prison) but if you are a peaceful environmental activist like @rogerhallam.com trying to save lives, you get 4 years in prison. 🤷‍♀️ www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Welfare cuts aren't just cruel, they're irrational. Poverty creates vast social and economic costs that short-sighted politicians don't account for. Read my latest piece: graceblakeley.substack.com/p/welfare-cu...
