People are going to prison - it's easy to look the other way. But you know that's really not cool. Support this.

One of the worst humanitarian disasters in modern history, and Congress wants to send BILLIONS more to fund Netanyahu’s war machine. As long as this bill contains money to continue this cruel war, I will do everything I can to oppose it. I urge my colleagues to do the same.

BREAKING: We just confronted David Patraeus. He oversaw the Iraq war and now pushes expansion of fracked gas at private equity firm KKR. With @pop4climate, we exposed his role in driving violence against Indigenous people. Dumbstruck and stunned, he left his own event early🧵

BREAKING: #Israel's Netanyahu confirms operational plans to forcibly transfer - and possibly deport - 1.3 million #Palestinians coerced to #Rafah at #Gaza's most southern end. An operational plan conceived, as I had argued, four months ago.

I was an organic grower in Carmarthen for twenty years - I would work 60 hours a week, bring up my kids, and the only highlight was going to town on a Saturday. Every weekend I would have a crippling headache from the stress. Why? Because people who do the real work, the essential work, get paid shit wages while the rich pay fuck all taxes. Everyone is sick to death with the humiliation. On top of that, the elites are collapsing our climate, destroying everything in its wake. Normal people don't want a lot - just enough and the dignity of not being treated as idiots. Unless new progressive social movements arise that make a clear break with the suicidal bollocks of the neoliberals - Starmer, Macron, Scholz - fascists will be in power within the decade. The new offer is this: "Yes, the country will be less "rich," but at least we can have equality, dignity and community - and that is what counts." We face mass migration and the collapse of world trade - insurance markets, coastal property prices - as climate breakdown destroys the global economy. Combine that with fascism and you have the biggest shit show in human history. The situation could not be more serious. Wake up and act.

You don’t recognise a good planet until it’s gone. One day at the other end of this collapse, human survivors may hold their heart as they feel the unbearable, unimaginable, desolating and shameful pain of regret. #climatecrisis #ecology #necrocapitalism #amwriting

Fresh from fringe tour 2024 with Rand Paul and Tucker Carlson Danielle Smith sees me as her new and biggest menace. Meanwhile on her watch toxic emissions from the oil sands is SIX THOUSAND TIMES HIGHER than reported. Talk about false advertising affecting human health.
As Alberta MLAs we all need to speak against such lunacy regardless of party stripe - I’m asking all NDP leadership candidates to call out NDP MP Charlie Angus for this irresponsible bill that would jail anyone who dare advertise the merits of Alberta’s world class energy sector. Shameful.

"Leave fossil fuels in the ground. It's so simple.This is the most important predicament humanity has ever faced and by design as a result of the enormous oppressive power of the fossil fuel industry, we're flunking it." George Monbiot. No time to waste. #ActOnClimate

“The share of 25-to-34-year-olds who own their own home in the US is six percentage points lower today than it was in 1990. In Germany it’s down eight points, in France just three, but in Britain the drop is 22 points.” ft.com/content/165f9aee-1180…
