After the dark billionaire circus of robots and censorship, it’s time to join the light, Bluesky. Hi I’m Robin - the youngest cofounder of Extinction Rebellion and a disabled writer on revolution, strategy and community. Here’s a thread all about how fossil fuels flipped my life upside down 🧵

"But there is only 1 person who has..called me to see how I am for 6 yrs: my #partner. Most other #connections have sadly withered with my body & mind. My soul perseveres, trapped. Waiting for a cure..to unleash its full splendour.": buff.ly/Wgea6uX by @robinboardman.com #ChronicIllness #spoonie

Notice: I'm struggling this month with chronic illness flare-up, mental health, and my personal + org bank accounts being shut down. All very distressing. Won't be posting/responding much. I want to be honest about the hard stuff, not just the highlights. Thanks for understanding 💜

"Like all chronic conditions, you could spend a lot of money on trying to find a fix: supplements, acupuncture, hypnosis, antidepressants (not as a cure but a way to cope). But the most common advice is to just try to ignore it. To learn to live with it."

Thanks to @robinboardman.com for sharing Robin Cavendish's story, and also his own: aroundrobin.substack.com/p/90-degrees...

Huge climate demonstration i Stockholm today. Media report at least 50 000 while organisers say between 50000-100000 people. This is ahead of elactions in september in which most parties have totally ignored the climate issue in favour of law and order and racist immigration policies…

Extinction Rebellion is a leaderful movement with 100s of leaders and chapters around the world. Here are some of the most prominent thinkers, movers and shakers behind the global civil disobedience movement against climate collapse. go.bsky.app/A5y76rX

"It is similar to if you are already sick and then you get an infection" A third of the Amazon is already wrecked. Now fires rage and food runs short. This is the tipping point of its survival. Only a revolution can save our planet's lungs. Rebel for life! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Economist personal hit pieces are surely just embarrassing for them. What is it about wealth taxes, rent controls and water nationalisation that they're so keen to stop progress? It's time to tackle the climate crisis & end Rip Off Britain.

The talks happened. The voices were powerful. Now we need to get them OUT. Green Gathering featured Clive Lewis MP, Roger Hallam, Zack Polanski & more on climate & justice. We recorded it all, but need £5k to edit & release 🎬 www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/help-ampli...

1/ 🚨New piece out co-authored with Ben Shread-Hewitt on the EU's adaptation framework and the risk of a 3°C world. Planning for 3°C doesn't make it survivable. But it makes it seem so. Here's a 🧵on some key points. Thanks @climate-risk.bsky.social for publishing this article.

"I would like for people like Richard Madeley, and for people like Nick Ferrari and Piers Morgan, to be disowned by the young people in their lives." Righteous fury from @claretotty.bsky.social, beautiful and energising

The UK Gvt is forcing through data centres against wishes of local communities and regardless of environmental impact. We must resist. Imposing one on the vibrant community in Brick Lane is shocking.

We want Greta, not Meta 😎

A first year above 2C in the mid-2030s now looks plausible. 0.5C was first passed in 1980, 1.0C in 2010 and 1.5C in 2024. The 15-year trend runs at 0.42C per decade. The 2026 and 2027 points for the current El Nino are estimates. We're not remotely ready!

Oh look... they solved the climate crisis! 🦄 .00000000001% of annual emissions* will be removed by unscalable but very PR-friendly technologies and we will drink the excess CO2 in refreshing beverages! [No burping allowed 😉] #Climate Denial now comes in delicious lychee flavor! 1/ #ClimateSky 🔌💡

Those in power have knowingly set in motion the destruction of civilisation, and anyone who responds with adaptation, technical fixes, or managed decline instead of revolution is complicit in the mass death that is now locked in.

3,400 people die on a single extremely hot day in India. 30,000 in 5 days. Most of the poor aren't even counted. The study calls that a conservative estimate. Mass death is here. My heart is breaking. www.euronews.com/2026/06/10/h...

Dear @frediotto.bsky.social, I write to you as a parent and activist about your interview on Today this morning (I will be writing elsewhere about Dharshini David's appalling line of questioning). I understand there is a strong social pressure not to frighten the horses in these interviews...

“Worse than expected” appeared 10+ times in just five months of climate news in 2026. Emissions 15% higher than reported. Sea level rise affecting 68% more people than modelled. Amazon tipping point arriving sooner than projected. The models were always conservative. This is uncharted territory.

‘It’s too fast, too big’ Yup - the penny is dropping Across the entire geological record, our world has NEVER heated up as rapidly as it has in the last hundred years or so www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I'm screaming inside reading this. The implications are beyond comprehension.

Everywhere I look today I keep seeing: 1) deadly wildfires ripping through our communities 2) people desperately trying to get by as energy costs soar 3) record oil & gas profits When will we see that these three things are connected? www.wsj.com/business/ene...

As the country burns . . . #wildfire #democracy

Italy is fining climate rebels €10,000 for daring to protest. Court cases, plainsclothes police stalking, threats. 250 constitutional scholars say the laws threaten civil liberties. I say it's a road to end-times fascism.

Hi @yougov.co.uk, you left off the correct answer which is "This will be one of the coolest summers of the rest of our lives and they will keep getting hotter and hotter until we stop burning fossil fuels".

The insurance industry predicts 4 billion people could die this century from climate breakdown. Then went silent. We treat it like the public emergency it is, with a global briefing call with top scientist Prof Bill McGuire. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q93...

Human rights are the oxygen of humanity.

Rapidly rising ocean temperatures, along with the Super El Niño, are affecting every part of the planet. The climate crisis is universal, exponential and existential. Only by understanding can we take the right action to stop it.

Two years ago, we started Revolution in the 21st Century as a follow up to Extinction Rebellion. Here's everything that's happened since: the wins, the lessons, and what's next. youtu.be/WkrmRyySX9I

Just loving how John Cleese, now reduced to one of his own caricatures, rages about immigrants coming to the UK and failing to accept "our" culture, from his home in ... (checks notes) ... Nevis in the Caribbean.

India's Cockroach Janta Party started as a meme about a judge's insult. It ended with the education minister resigning and the government using tear gas and painting over graffiti in panic. Founder Dipke's last words at the site: "This is not the end. We will meet again soon."
