✍️ LETTER FROM CRESSIE, CLIMATE PRISONER, pt. 1 💚 Cressie was sentenced to 4 years for appearing on a Zoom call. "I am learning a lot from women I meet and I am learning a lot about myself... If that’s not living life, what is?" 🦺 Support resistance in the courts: chuffed.org/project/supp... 1/2 →

An Israeli airstrike on a car in the Gaza Strip killed five people, including employees of World Central Kitchen. The charity says it's “urgently seeking more details."

I just completed "Historian Hysteria" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/1

Does any of this even register anymore?

Remember all that ‘there’s no money’ stuff we keep hearing? Well, predictably, it’s BS. Who knew? 🤔

"The police chased me out of the beach parking lot. Now Walmart. I’m running out of places to sleep, and to be." "Isn’t that negation of our existence? We are here and we are you and we are yours." A searing and essential piece of writing.

Israel has dropped almost 80,000 tons of explosives - this means that Israel has dropped ~36 kilograms of explosives on Gaza for every man, woman, and child. Each red dot shows a bombed place in Gaza. (UN Satellite Centre, July 6th) This is what genocide looks like. #GazaGenocide

The UK is now arming suspected war criminals who have been indicted by the world’s pre-eminent criminal court, the ICC. The government must end ALL arms sales NOW. www.middleeasteye.net/news/uk-isra...

Elon Mush is building a giant mirror in space. When it's ready he will shut the sun off so it's dark 24 hours/day on earth. Only he knows the code to turn it back on again. We must obey him.

Every explanation to how the Holocaust could have happened is unfolding live right before our eyes!

What were once 1960s libertarian fringe fantasies have now become reality. Zone Fever has arrived in the UK. Labour partnering up with Blackrock means the UK will be privatised. Thread

"it appears that a number of US citizens have swiftly woken up to the inflationary implications of tariffs, with some voters who have found they have been taken for a ride asking on social media whether it is possible to change their vote" this is a joke, right? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Something wonderful for the weekend! About 40,000 years ago, during the #IceAge, this tiny figurine was sculpted from mammoth ivory. Imagine the artist at work, sitting by the warmth and flickering light of a fire, carving what is the world’s oldest known sculpture of a horse! 📷 by me #Archaeology

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed. But he still needed a 45% pay rise. Like if he needs a pay cut. RP if you want the Monarchy gone. #AbolishTheMonarchy

Who are the extremists now?

"There are 17,385 babies in Gaza which your system has killed...the blood of all of them will haunt you." Israeli politician Ayman Odeh is dragged out of the Knesset for his speech railing against Benjamin Netanyahu's destruction of Gaza.

Where is David Lammy’s condemnation of the US having used its veto?

I am sharing one Palestinian account every day and today is Hala. Hala is only 20 years old and was actually the student of @alaaalassar.bsky.social prior to the war. She fled her home and her brother Ahmed was injured and needs surgery. This video is of her younger brother Adam.

For those wanting context, the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) keeps Europe relatively warm compared to places of similar latitude (eg northern Canada). If AMOC shuts down due to climate change the UK would rapidly become 5-15C *colder*. Obviously we are not well prepared for this

⚡️ CAN BILL Constituency Week of Action! ⚡️ 💚 A big thank you to everyone who took part across the UK last week! It’s inspiring to see so many campaigners urging their MPs to back the Climate and Nature Bill. 🐝 Is your MP backing the #CANBill? zerohour.uk

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

Over the last 19 months of the genocide being carried out by Israel/UK/US, I've learned exactly how the holocaust was allowed to happen. People turn a blind eye, ignore the suffering we're inflicting on innocents, or like Starmer, deny it's happening. My faith in human nature has been shattered.
