A whole new type of democracy is thriving in one of the toughest places in the world - despite a media blackout. Women lead. Taxes have been abolished and private property redefined. Prison is being phased out. Everyone gets a say. But now it's hanging by a thread. 🧵

BREAKING: UK's single biggest carbon emitter makes record breaking profits 🤑 Once again, Drax has made BILLIONS in earnings at the expense of our bills, forests, the health of communities and our planet.  ➡️ Join our call tomorrow: actionnetwork.org/events/axe-d... #OurBillsOurFuture #AxeDrax

Plenty more to say about why approving new oil & gas fields isn't the right tactic for a thriving, prosperous future for the UK, but even on the government's own "growth for growth's sake" approach, it doesn't make sense to double down on O&G:

BREAKING 🚨: WE WON OUR CASE AGAINST ROSEBANK. The court has ruled the oil field UNLAWFUL and Rosebank’s approval has been overturned. This is a monumental victory in the fight for a liveable future for all.

🚨 BREAKING: HOWDEN OCCUPIED 🚨 Students & XR activists have stormed Howden’s lobby, calling them out for profiting from #ClimateChaos 🛢️ No insurance = No fossil fuels Without it, oil & gas can’t afford their dirty business #InsureOurSurvival #EndFossilFuels

This is how to do it, kids: Home insurance is now a climate story. Put it on the front, and put "climate change" at the top. Especially now that deniers will control the federal and state government. www.houstonchronicle.com/projects/hom...

Just a quick reminder that climate protesters are in prison because a judge thinks that Climate change is "inadmissible evidence". #DefendOurJuries

In the face of the climate and ecological crisis, Health workers and Scientists appeal to lawyers to consider their responsibility to public health and urgently divest from fossil fuel interests. From 2018-2022, 5 law firms were were responsible for over £285 billion of fossil fuel transactions.

Champs, the lot. A good starter pack 💚✨

If you bring central London to a halt to campaign against catastrophic climate change you're treated as a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. But 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

A handy phrase; *value-action gap* "discrepancy between the stated values of an individual or organisation and their actions" Basically the difference between what people say and what they do. Hence studies show increasing climate concern, but not action. 😵‍💫 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value-a...

A quick and powerful read. Lots to unpack here. Like, how do campaigners (like me) empower GenX to take direct action in a meaningful way...?

"Water firms stopped from using customer money for bonuses" About bloomin time too 👍🏼💙 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Just had my 127th focusmate session - 'Coach Pete' successfully finished his task after our 50 mins agreed time, then left without checking how I'd got on. Reminded me of seggs with my ex.

This gives [Insulate Britain] a cost-effectiveness of the campaign of 0.51 tonnes CO2/£, putting it on a par with the most highly rated climate charities. www.socialchangelab.org/post/what-wa...

Feeling free to express myself on @bsky.app reminds me of the post-break-up phase of a toxic, codependent relationship. Where you finally get to talk to the friends that the controlling, narcissist ex has been stopping you from seeing. 🤔

Yikky podcasty propaganda. Luckily, facts and science exist. sentientmedia.org/musk-rogan-c...

These are the facts. My phone auto predict text: "sorry for the slow reply"

#436 days sober. I'm in utter awe of this "bonus level". No more throwing days away hungover, or blackout in binge. Yes, I was functioning. But I was failing. I was resentful and arrogant. Convinced I had my valid reasons. Recovery is magical. Misery is optional.

My artwork Deluge is currently installed on the The Leadenhall building aka The Cheesegrater as part of the The 13th edition of Sculpture in the City -City of London - go see!☔️

What if the X exodus sparked a movement of people ditching all unethical media platforms? Like, can we all just get on with boycotting corporate media now please?

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...” ...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.

These gvts couldn’t organise a piss-up in a brewery let alone save the planet. POWER BELONGS WITH THE PEOPLE Local, national & global #CitizensAssemblies can lead the way. Let’s make it happen! Info➡️https://extinctionrebellion.uk/decide-together/citizens-assembly/ #ActNow #ClimateCrisis #COP29

Sounds pretty dogecoin to me mate 😳

i admit i live in an echo chamber of leftist politics, the only exception being when i hear things said by the president, the next president, the supreme court, members of congress, people on the news, my family, or people i encounter in my daily life.

I have compassion for people who have their head in the sand. I just wish they knew how peaceful and powerful it is to opt out of cognitive dissonance - and live life in the honesty, and in alignment with your ethics.

Goodbye Elon, hello Open Source.

after one of the wildest days of ops in my life, reading this and all the other supportive posts means a tonnn, big 💙 let's keep the posts rollin tonight and do it all again tomorrow?!

Where are the encouraging conversations about the joys and benefits of decarbonising your lifestyle? The lower my footprint... the higher the quality of my mental health. Not just a bit... a LOT

As a recovering addict, I fully endorse this message. Our decision makers are addicted to fossil fuel funds, and they are in the business of duping society into addiction too, to further feed their fix. We need an intervention.

Climate peeps I’m sure it’s been 24 hrs since I last reminded you that ALL nature based carbon offsets are junk on the basic science. There are no “better quality offsets” out there in the forests. You don’t need fieldwork or spreadsheets because you already have science😉😇.
