En los momentos difíciles la gente siempre está: la solidaridad vecinal salva vidas. Las instituciones deben estar a la altura de su pueblo. Con más de 200 personas fallecidas, 1900 desaparecidas y miles afectadas urge decretar Estado de Alarma y un potente escudo social

We do understand the #globalwarming caused by fossil fuels - for four decades it’s been going as predicted.
But we don’t understand the surprise upward leap that is happening now.
And that worries me.
Spain voting for far right and climate deniers today is a tragedy of historic proportions.... in climate chaos & suffering extreme drought, w water rationing, 80% of crops damaged, floods, hail, & heatwaves... #EleccionesGenerales2023 #CambioClimatico #ClimateEmergency #23J
ALT Hottest temperature ever recorded in Figueres, way above average with 45.3 degrees
ALT July 8 2023 HT @OwsWills This is Vitoria-Gasteiz, northern Spain, where a hailstorm battered the region on Thursday, sending icy floes careening down streets. https://twitter.com/OwsWills/status/1677724248423497730

VOX, fascists tearing down LGBTQ flags at festivals now while disingenuously complaining about cancel culture, threatening Cataluña w extreme violence & negating climate change as crops fail in Spain...'not a single antifascist vote' should stay home.
Durutti voted in 1936.
‘Tota política que no fem nosaltres, serà feta contra nosaltres’.
Amb alegria. Ni un sol vot antifeixista a casa.

Can't overstate how anxious meteorologists, oceanographers and #climate scientists are about the rather sudden, acute surge in #ocean temperatures around the world, particularly in the #Arctic and subarctic regions. We're heading into an unprecedented & unpredictable 2023/24.

The Northern Atlantic Ocean is heating up so rapidly that it is literally, nearly off the charts. Pay heed. This is well beyond record-breaking.

Spain's farms are dying. Their pastures are disappearing. Their livestock is becoming too expensive to even feed. Their ministers resort to calling for the EU crisis mechanism to be triggered. The #Climate crisis is now an EU farming and food supply crisis.

Another massive demonstration in Madrid today in support of the region's public health system and protesting the neoliberal policies of Trumpian regional president Isabel Diaz Ayuso.

Amazing. Ignore measures like paid sick leave and proper ventilation that would greatly reduce an ongoing mass disabling event, gaslight those disabled with #longcovid, then punish them for not being able to work.
The Tories are quietly launching a new war on disabled benefit claimants: from plans to increase sanctions to anti-fraud squads.

⚠️THERMONUCLEAR BAD—Hospitals completely overwhelmed in China ever since restrictions dropped. Epidemiologist estimate >60% of 🇨🇳 & 10% of Earth’s population likely infected over next 90 days. Deaths likely in the millions—plural. This is just the start—🧵
Best one yet.

Using the playbook of AIDS activists that came before, people with #longcovid & #MECFS are starting to protest about the lack of funding, treatment, recognition, and disability rights for their post-viral illness 🧵1/
