"Know that the thing that’s most firmly under your control is how you show up for your children, your neighbours and your wider community.

This rules nothing out — from this place we can still protest, dismantle, subvert."

You know what would scare the hell out of the fossil fuel industry?

Millions of young people turning out to vote to end their greed and save the planet.

War is great for the stock market but it sure as hell isn't good for the world.

The bigger the war, the more money to make. #ExtinctionRebellion #NoWarWithIran

Trump: "I will end the endless wars."

MAGA: "Boo, wars!"

Trump: "I assassinated the top general in Iran."

MAGA: "Yay, wars!"

Trump: "I will bring the troops home."

MAGA: "Yay! Bring them home!"

Trump: "I'm sending more troops to the Middle East."

MAGA: "Yay! Go Troops!"

We wake up this morning awaiting a response from Iran after the US commissioned an act of war.

Its good to remember the immense ecological cost that war brings to the countries involved in the conflict. #NoWarWithIran #ExtinctionRebellion

This administration is continuously putting profit incentives for polluting corporations ahead of protecting our planet.

Political Ideology is trumping science. #ExtinctionRebellion

Gotta be honest, it’s hard to celebrate the New Year when your home country currently looks like a terrible crossover between Venus and Mars.
