Hard to read, but useful to know... www.emptywheel.net/2025/03/01/t...

Cowardice alone? Or greed? They're being massively rewarded.

The cowardice of the GOP has been astounding 👇 #TraitorTrump

Heartbreaking to be so let down - oppressed - by a so-called Labour government. They seem to be content to give up the fight against the climate catastrophe in favour of suppressing dissent

Labour let the last Tory Govt pass repressive anti protest laws. Some of us Peers tried to stop the worst measures with a Fatal Motion I tabled, but Labour refused to support it. Now in power, they are happy to use these laws against us.

Lucky for the tractor drivers they weren't objecting to the continued burning of fossil fuels leading to environmental degradation, natural disasters, weather extremes, food insecurity, economic disruption, conflict, and terrorism. Still can't quite see how an ambulance would get through though.

Paying tribute to the human spirit

@howardhogg.bsky.social found you 😊

How to make the climate crisis disappear - an imaginative approach

So now we have it. Rachel Reeves's claim that a third runway at Heathrow Airport would boost economic growth comes from a report commissioned by .... Heathrow Airport. Instead of acting in the national interest, she's channelling corporate lobbyists. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Really really worth reading

Reminds me of when my hire car broke down on a Navajo Reservation and the hire company refused to come and help because I was 'no longer in the United States '

Our appetite for farmed salmon leaves others around the world with less to eat

We need a story of hope

Heart sinking

And the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries also fears 4 billion deaths by mid-century. Surely more than a 50% drop in global GDP? Though GDP does measure strange things like funeral and sickness costs

So shouldn't we be planning carefully for degwrowth? #degrowth

Not necessarily anything wrong with 'degrowth' either. It all depends on how we do it.

Will the financiers care - and will they be capable of turning against a system that they have lived and prospered by?

Incredibly useful for convincing people to change

Can't help wondering if insurance companies just might be the first part of the capitalist system to discover a problem with eternal growth on a foundation of fossil fuels

The science does NOT support the deadly badger cull

It depends whose side you're on - the natural world and our place in it - or landowners

While these descendants of Norman invaders hold this land, thousands of young people who want to grow food, regenerate the soil, protect the wild, love trees ... don't have the slightest chance of fulfilling their dreams #protectthewild #growing #regeneration #lovetrees

Land reform. Yes

I'm reposting this because I think it's extremely important to expose these lies, and think about the objectives behind them

A man of conscience

The #CANBill is so important. Will your MP be bothered to vote for it? Mine has committed!

What planet are they on? Head in hands 😩

It's way past time we stopped eating farmed salmon. This piece mentions antibiotic use, sea lice and depredation of other fish stocks for feed - but leaves out the mounds of waste dropped on the seabed and the devastating effect on wild salmon #wildfish

infuriated by Gaie's fate - blocking up jail for peaceful protest - and because her 77 year old wrists don't fit Serco's tags. Although they lied about that too

This would save many lives

What he's doing is ignorant to the point of wickedness

Despite all the scientific evidence - can't believe we're still killing badgers. Time to stop!

Another idea for this year's non-flying holiday

A thoughtful response

I'm very sceptical that Phil Stocker, head of the National Sheep Association, can tackle Dartmoor's nature crisis. But I'm encouraged he's now stated that "we have to start with [Dartmoor's] SSSIs" & accepts there's an overgrazing problem on the moor. Words we'll be holding him to!

PEACEMAKERS JAILED Good people from Cambridge visited The Guildhall to ask MP Daniel Zeichner for his support in the appeal of political prisoner, Louise Lancaster. Lou was imprisoned in 2024 for peaceful protest and is part of #TheJust17 who were sentenced to a combined 41years.

From 2010-2024 Inflation was 75% but... 2010 28 tablets of 5mg Dextroamphetamine £3.00 2024 28 tablets of 5mg Dextroamphetamine £24.85 That's 728% inflation. This ripoff on the price the NHS pays for generic medication is happening to many medications, and bankrupting the NHS.
