I am heartbroken by this utterly appalling loss of life.
And I am sick and tired of ritual expressions of sympathy by those who condemned these human beings to death.
Governments across Europe have blood on their hands — and we demand justice.

The UK government has the power to restore the NHS. It has the power to restore the universities. It has the power to restore the rail system.
And yet every single day it actively chooses instead to drive these services into the ground. It is a politics of purposeful cruelty.
🚨 NEW: Oil giant Shell has just recorded £32,200,000,000 in profit – the highest in 115 years.
Will we see its corporate executives named and shamed for being “greedy”?
Or does that only apply to teachers and nurses fighting for fair pay?
#EnoughIsEnough
Imagine having an economic system where ecologically urgent and socially necessary things (renewable energy, public transit, affordable housing) are not produced simply because rich people cannot make enough profits doing so. Irrational barely begins to describe it.
BREAKING🚨| The government has announced anti-strike legislation.
When workers democratically vote to strike, they can be forced to work and sacked if they don’t. This is wrong, unworkable, and almost certainly illegal.
Introverts are not anti-social, they're selective. They want depth. They want trust. They want soul vibe. They wanna connect with you mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. They may seem a bit shy & closed off. But trust me, all they want is coziness over craziness.
Here’s where I think we now stand, and how we should respond. A thread.
1. There is a global trend towards political impunity. In many nations, politicians are testing the limits of constitutional power, and discovering they can get away with almost anything. 🧵
Do you believe throwing soup at some glass is a greater crime than the death of the living planet?
Do you, from your comfortable distance, say "I support their cause, but not their methods"?
If so, please read what Martin Luther King had to say about such mindsets.

Yesterday, I attended a conference at which an influential financier shared this unpublished map. Look at it. The estimated death toll is 2-3 *billion*; the timeframe is 20-30 years (previously: 50). Segments of the elite have simply 'written off' large parts of the Global South.
Make no mistake: Companies are using inflation as a smokescreen to hike prices and rake in record profits. 2021 was the most profitable year for American corporations since 1950.
