This is the worst climate news I've ever heard. This would be catastrophic, and it's real and happening now. FFS, we need to see oil companies and fossil fuels as an existential threat to our survival.

Republicans couldn't define communism with unlimited lifelines.

The wrong decisions on Rosebank, Heathrow expansion, heat pumps and EV targets would result in getting on for half a billion extra tonnes of CO2 being added to the atmosphere Truly insane as drought, wildfire, storm and flood continue to hammer the UK www.theguardian.com/environment/...

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

"A Genocide Was Committed in Sudan’s El Fasher. A Year Later, Survivors Recount the Horrors" The RSF killed, raped, & disappeared thousands as they overran North Darfur’s capital in Oct 2025. No one has been held accountable in the year since, writes Eisa Dafallah. zeteo.com/p/a-genocide...

Britons should use money we haven't got to buy food the country doesn't grow, store it in homes that don't exist, in spare rooms that got taxed away, so we can survive when reservoirs nobody built run dry because of a climate the govt won't protect. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

In the Budget HMRC will be granted powers to seize money directly from the bank accounts of people who fail to pay their taxes. Does this include people like Nadhim Zahawi, Lord Bamford and all the other massive tax avoiders. Or is it just for the little people as usual?

The government didn’t just approve Jackdaw, they also reiterated their support for so-called tiebacks - a dodge to allow yet more new drilling without new licenses. This deserves almost as much scrutiny as Jackdaw and has got barely any of it, so I raised it in the Chamber.

It seems targeting British school children for the crime of protesting against genocide is far more important to Friend of Israel Andy Burnham than prosecuting a British volunteer in the Israeli army who helped burn down a Gaza school murdering Palestinian children

Greta Thunberg comes out to support Lula "If Bolsonaro wins, it will be a disaster for the entire planet... Latin America is not for sale. The eyes of the world are on you Brazil, we are counting on you."

I literally spent a year investigating how the government props up Shell, and then they do this!

The real reason Gen Z is flocking to the @greenparty.org.uk Young people are looking ahead at what their future could look like if we carry on burning fossil fuels and don't take climate change seriously. @zackpolanski.bsky.social @turnleftmedia.co.uk

Severe climate impacts are arriving decades earlier than expected The UK is not prepared. It’s time for government to hold an emergency briefing to the nation. In the meantime you can watch our film: www.nebriefing.org/screening-map It’s #TimeToStepUp #NationalEmergencyBriefing

This admission alone is an impeachable offense

New Yorkers early voting begins today! Get out there and vote for Kathy Hochul on the @nywfp.bsky.social lind. We need to get 250,000 such votes to keep the ballot line & ensure that we win all of the things we care about including universal childcare, deeply affordable housing and taxing the rich.

Still covering Elon Musk as a business mogul and not foregrounding his murderous white nationalist politics is like doing a piece on only the clown career of John Wayne Gacy.

Chris Hinchliff MP: "The amount Jackdaw will cut bills: £0 The number of jobs it will support: 27 The net cost of Jackdaw & Rosebank to our economy: at least £90 billion. Life's too short to pretend that calls to drill baby drill are anything other but a fast track for us all to burn baby burn."

BREAKING - Netanyahu announces his plan to invade the West Bank. (With English Subtitles)

literally this comic except he apparently lives in Czechia instead of Nebraska

I have an idea for an all-trans remake of Das Boot.

We must destroy this establishment along with Trump. They are the same thing.

Let’s eradicate our life support systems – that’ll teach the liberals! It's not just about giving destructive industries what they want, important as this is. The likes of Trump and Bolsonaro will kill the planet out of a vengeful desire to hurt. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I'm beginning to realize that you should never trust a species that sells hotdogs in packs of 8 and hotdog buns in packs of 10.

To all those people who argued for new UK gas fields to import less LNG: how do we heat our buildings in 2050 without building up a heat pump industry now?

🚨 BREAKING: The UK Labour Government have approved the Jackdaw gas field. This a devastating betrayal of future generations. Jackdaw will make the UK even more dependent on the global gas market. This will do nothing to lower household energy bills and it is dishonest to pretend that it will.

At some point we have to talk about how Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for far less than what Donald Trump did and is still actively doing.

21 October 1938 | A Dutch Jewish girl, Roza Elisabeth, van Coevorden was born in Rotterdam. In August 1942 she was deported to Auschwitz with her mother Mathilda. They were both murdered in a gas chamber after the selection. - Gas chambers and crematoria at Auschwitz: https://youtu.be/-A05i25j9Ck

The fall offs—especially the final one—are fascinating Everyone else sorts into three main groups (80%, 73%, ~66%)—with a 6-7% fall off between each group And then there's white evangelicals... 42%—which is a ~24% drop from the next lowest subgroup, and by a rate of fall off 3x the other groups

This properly amazing and worth your time for the insights. youtu.be/W5zpd-n-GFc?...

We don't lack solutions. We lack accountability. We have solar. They invest in oil. We have conservation. They have deforestation contracts. We have climate science. They have PR firms to deny it. Name the system. #ClimateJustice

World headed for warming of 2.8C, UN reports, and US emissions rise - Returning the temperature rise to below the 1.5C level would require emission cuts of 45% by 2035 by ending the use of coal and #oilangas www.ft.com/content/76bf... via @FT #DonaldTrump #KatharinaReiche #ClimateEmergency

Just 10 people have already poured over $1 BILLION into this year’s midterm elections. 90% has gone to Republicans. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

How Britain could find £100 billion a year to rebuild its economy. All we need to do is change the tax incentives for saving in this country, and we could find the capital to build our future. So why won't the government do that? youtu.be/W7Y61uAZPVM?...

BREAKING: Go ahead for North Sea Jackdaw field Jackdaw's gas will cause an estimated £16.1 billion in global damage through climate change, and over 8,000 heat-related deaths. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

Imagine the shitstorm if any Democratic President was acting this way...
