This is stunning, and not in a good way:

🚨BREAKING: Climate activists have blockaded the entrance to Citi Citibank HQ. Citi is the 3rd largest funder of fossil fuels while trying to present themselves as a green bank. The message is clear #citidropfossilfuels #endfossfuels

BREAKING: Columbia again is threatening its own students with a new wave of police repression for peacefully protesting Israel's gruesome infliction of violence on Gaza. Outrageous betrayal of academic freedom by administrators.

Columbia: stop the threats. Negotiate in good…

Just beginning. Going to take a while yet before people realise the entire experience of human beings is about to change beyond imagination.

Five years since some of us stood up to this suicidal murderous system. I’m in the blue shirt in the middle. This on a far bigger scale is the only thing that has any chance at all of saving our kids lives. I don’t mean to piss anyone off but all I hear is excuses and people…

Climate change.

The world’s biggest exporter of olive oil, Spain, has halved its production due to drought and extreme heat, increasing its price (at origin!) 112% since 2022.

It’s happening to other food crops too. Olive oil today, everything else soon.

You’re not closing the street to cars, you’re opening it to people.

Yep (my family is dealing with this right now).

It has been the wettest 18-month period in recorded history, 'drastically reducing' food production

In the Fens near me, great areas of every field have been under water all winter

Farming was hard enough in a stable climate

We all know climate anxiety isn't a disorder but a normal, rational reaction to a devastating threat

By extension, surely not being anxious about the threat is the mental health issue to be concerned about?

I worry about those who aren't worried

Just look up. We gaze into the heavens today and yet refuse to acknowledge - to fully internalize - that our own planet is on the precipice of collapse. The tipping point is near. The feedback loops are imminent. There will be no return. No second chance. (1/16) 🧵

Hope doesn't motivate me. Duty does.

“On the other hand we – you and me – are not merely victims. Through our passive participation in this system, we are also perpetrators. We have failed ourselves and each other. We have allowed our home to be robbed, and now we are watching it burn.'

“Following climate protests, we find increases in concerns about climate change by, on average, 1.2 percentage points. Further, we find no statistically significant evidence that concerns of any subpopulation decreased after climate protests.” nature.com/articles/s4146…

Yet more evidence that getting out on the streets is effective at raising public concern about climate change, and that there is no 'backlash' from civil disobedience

Activism works

Precisely the opposite. We want to live.
