Sad to see Amnesty International veering so far from its core purpose. Like honestly, what has this topic got to do with helping prisoners of conscience etc etc?!
Amnesty should keep in its lane, not blunder into matters where it has no authority or expertise:

This interview with Murdoch still genuinely shocks. I remember vividly the 1st time I watched it, my jaw dropping open as I realised that from idiocy, malice or sheer selfinterestedness, he truly was in massive denial about human-caused dangerous climate change. WATCH and share:

We blame(d) it on the Nazis. We lie(d). Imagine that going on today.

'I believe that everyone has a power, indeed a superpower in relation to this...'

You don't have to engage in radical tactics to play your part in #ClimateAction . How will you use your superpower? I talk more about this in the interview linked below.

Failed and keep failing...

Rupert Read 🌍 Ian Sinclair Morning Star If we do not transform, transformation will be forced upon us.

A truly terrifying prospect.

You have 5 minutes to save the world.

I heard this talk live. I thought the title, “2 years to save the world”, spectacularly ill-advised.
In 2 years time, when the world has, self-evidently, failed to do what Stiell said it should, what’s he gonna do? Give up and be a doomer? Or give us another extreme ‘deadline’?
