We’re led by warmongers & cowards. They have no intention of stopping our civilisation slamming into a wall because they’re owned by the forces profiting from it. None of our kids get to survive unless we take money out of politics & end this relentless ascent of psychopaths.

Since 1991 there’s been a 1,500% rise in the use of #Glyphosate on British veg crops. Worryingly, three-quarters of all UK farmland is at risk of some form of pesticide pollution. It’s no wonder that glyphosate now turns up in much of our food. wickedleeks.riverford.co.uk/features/the-g…

This framing is misleading @dpcarrington. There's no 'new normal' until we stop burning fossil fuels - it just keeps getting worse and worse. As the scientists quoted in the article say "today’s high temperatures are likely to be average by 2050, and cool by 2100".
Fire risk unfortunately highly prevalent in Wandsworth bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

mindblowing thread including some heroes of our movement
They were pillars of the British establishment. Then they realised: we are the baddies. What did they do next? 🧵
A reminder that we cannot have this in London, not only because the Thames is too polluted, but also because we have left the tidal Thames in the sole hands of an unaccountable legacy organisation founded in 1908 called the Port of London Authority (@LondonPortAuth) which…
After a $1.6 billion investment and years of hard work, the Seine River, which was once heavily polluted, is now clean enough for swimming for the first time in over a century. The city has also invested in three public swimming locations. 📍 Paris 🇫🇷
Scientists meeting in Exeter, UK have demanded world leaders take “immediate, unprecedented action” to save humanity from global collapse. This is a thread compiling media coverage of this seismic news. 🧵
In 2008, the collapse of a single bank - Lehman Brothers - nearly brought down the global economy. Now, a far bigger crash is brewing. And our so-called leaders know it. But they're doing nothing about it.🧵
An important lesson in nonviolence.
Nashville. 1960. One of the most segregated cities in the world. But change is coming, thanks to a masterclass in strategy, discipline and nonviolent resistance. This is the story of how the civil rights movement achieves the impossible. 🧵
The scourge of plastic grass is everywhere in Wandsworth ☹️😡
“Scientists who collected and analyzed water from the Mediterranean Sea, for example, found that artificial turf fibers made up more than 15 percent of larger plastic particles in their samples.” nytimes.com/2025/06/17/cli…
“The dangerous 32C heat that will be endured by people in the south-east of England on Saturday will have been made 100 times more likely by the climate crisis, scientists have calculated.” theguardian.com/environment/20…
WHAT THE MEDIA WON'T TELL YOU Iran has suffered at the hands of the West for 75 years - not because of its nuclear aspirations, but because of its fossil fuels. 🧵
Everyone should read this thread on the meaning of nonviolence.
As the USA's ultranationalist, ultra-militarised regime attacks protestors (again), the name Martin Luther King Jr has come up a lot. So let’s look at what MLK really believed - and what he would have said about what's going on in LA in 2025.🧵

What if your partner wasn’t who they claimed to be? What if the person you loved, trusted, and built a life with… was actually an agent of the deep state? This is the shocking story of the Spy Cops. 🧵
