The French government is abandoning #ColineFay to potential life imprisonment in Senegal just for attending a peaceful demonstration.
New Ministers have the chance to succeed where their predecessors have failed.
Do the right thing. Protect French citizens abroad. #FreeColine
ISRAEL IS HOLDING BRAZILIAN & IRISH CITIZENS HOSTAGE
#Israel is refusing to let citizens of #Brazil & #Ireland leave #Gaza in retaliation for their governments' calls for a #ceasefire.
This is state-sponsored terrorism by EVERY govt supporting Israel.

People of conscience use ur voices. Bear witness so Palestinians aren't genocided in the darkness. Do everything in ur power, because if we don't, how will we look at ourselves ever again. This sets a dangerous precedent if we allow this, who will be next?!

War is not just a threat to *some* lives.
War is a threat to ALL life.
The climate impacts of war are hastening us toward no longer having mitigation as an option.
Greater climate destabilization will spur further conflicts, leading us into a season of endless war.
We can stop this now. We MUST stop this now.
The faster we end fossil fuel usage, the quicker we can begin to repair the harm to nature, ourselves included.
For those worried about economic impacts, a world free of fossil fuels means more reliance on independently-generated green energy, rendering us all more economically (and otherwise) resilient.
Ending fossil fuels is economic security.
Ending fossil fuels is military security.
Ending fossil fuels is the only path to any sustainable security we can have on and for our increasingly disrupted planet.

Dithering & delays are deadly.
Politicians & industry everywhere must be held to account, or they will continue to slow-walk us all off the cliff into climate disaster.
Take action.
There are no sidelines in this conflict. Every choice you make has an impact.
Make sure it's the one you want it to be.

I want to address the main absurdity, at the centre of the ecological and climate crisis. That is the apparent belief of most politicians, billionaires, CEOs and other powerful people, that there is the option of adapting and carrying on with business as usual.

We appear to be in a position where the police could and perhaps should question the Chancellor of The Exchequer regarding his part in illegal insider trading.
"To concern yourself with surface political conflicts is to make the mistake of the bull in the ring, you are charging the cloth. That is what politics is for, to teach you the cloth. Just as the bullfighter teaches the bull, teaches him to follow, obey the cloth." (Burroughs)
