Hey @EdtheBirch. Got some thoughts on the beer/tax analogy if you want to DM me....?! I bet you can’t wait 😆

Spent a good portion of the day washing up in Trafalgar Square. Not a sentence I saw coming, but I’m pretty sure it qualifies as non-violent. @ExtinctionR #washingupforallourfutures

I have the greatest respect for the many people who have been prepared to sacrifice their liberty in an attempt to wake up the governments of our world to the dangers of business as usual. #ClimateCrisis #ExtinctionRebellionlondon

Off to join the #ExtinctionRebellion earlier today. If you can’t make a carbon neutral trip to London for that... @XR_StAlbans @ExtinctionR

Just flew back from visiting family in Canada. I intend it to be my last flight until air travel is sustainable. This pic shows my emissions for the trip. @ExtinctionR @XR_StAlbans

@Gatwick_Airport Any restrictions on the use of @Heelysworldwide in the airport?

So, Cressida Dick thinks Parliament should enact tougher laws to stop future XR protests much faster.
How about this for a better idea:
Parliament should enact much better laws on ecology and climate so that XR doesn’t HAVE to protest in future!!

You just lost 1,300 seats. You've mistaken brutal rejection for affirmation. Give the decision back to the people and we'll see what they really want.

@BenGoldsmith @David_Oakes @TreesACrowdpod Thought this thread might be of interest. Certainly is to me. X

Today I received a rejection email from a 1st round audition, for a huge production who must have seen loads of us. They said something nice. It made a huge difference to my mental health and well-being whilst deep in the pit of resting. #yesorno matters. Thank you, good guys ❤️

We encourage you Rebels to continue to make your own banners, T-shirts, badges – anything and everything really. But we do not sell any merchandise. Please do not buy any badges, T-shirts, hoodies etc, they are all fake and are not endorsed by #ExtinctionRebellion.

This is the power of treating an emergency as an emergency. Human beings are social animals, we take our cues from one another. When the cues change, we change, the world changes...

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

"Climate change is not so much an emergency as a festering injustice. Our ancestors did not end slavery by declaring an emergency and dreaming up artificial boundaries on “tolerable” slave numbers," says climate scientist Myles Allen. "They called it out for what it was..."

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

A climate general strike? This is the sensible next step in building pressure on our governments and politicians to act with the urgency that the ecological crisis requires. Thanks, @GretaThunberg, for advancing this idea. https://t.co/6j1CpsdXnV

Anyone from @XR_StAlbans at Marble Arch?

Katie has been chained to concrete for six days. She says “there is no issue that’s more important” than climate change.

Made it to London! #extinctionrebellion #jointherebellion

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

The @ExtinctionR and the #climatestrike are among the most important movements of our century. It is vital that we vocally reject media efforts to cast them as crazy. They are not. They are imminently sane and indeed more aligned with science and reason than our politicians are.
