#Grassroots activists must keep in mind that Twitter is increasingly a place where disinformation and lies thrive, and that starts at the top:

@elonmusk Time to reconsider the light and radio wave pollution your Starlink 'product' emits, or does the owner of a space company not care about the decreasing ability to do ground and space based astronomical observations https://t.co/41GHSnxkwU

[Global Grassroots @GrassrootsViews]

If this is not a death spiral, what is?

Twitter could soon be subject to involuntary bankruptcy—that could be in @elonmusk’s financial interest, shedding billions in debt — but the chaos won't restore the site to its former usability 🤡😂 https://t.co/vk3zcv5Jxi

"Subtract Twitter’s owner and its amphetaminic product strategy and you’re left with a story that’s both less sympathetic and less novel."

--> Musk is a clown, Zuck is a jerk, and it's about time to quit both of these cartoon villains' platforms, but:

REVEALED: #COP28 president Sultan Al-Jaber's oil firm @ADNOCGroup says it wants "maximum energy, minimum emissions."

We calculate it will produce oil and gas that will emit 11.3 BILLION tonnes of CO2 by 2050... https://t.co/slTHMwF3po

No use whinging about it, @elonmusk. You ignored every warning. You bought a flawed but functioning platform, stripped the safeguards and created a miserable experience for everyone except fascists, deniers and the troll farms hired by destructive industries. What did you expect?

Use your creativity to demand India's @narendramodi stop selling weapons to #Myanmar junta!

💣💥 India's Bharat Electronics, Sandeep Metalcraft & Yantra have been shipping weapons to military junta. @RapporteurUn says India's arms exports since coup attempt at least USD $51M.

♀️ Indigenous women have long been at the frontlines of environmental conflict, in close contact with paramilitaries, traffickers, and resource extraction workers. According to the study, they also defy patriarchal gender expectations.

The looming presence of Wagner criminals, nuclear weapons & Russian troops is an existential threat to the people of #Belarus. These forces must be fully withdrawn. The West should impose stronger sanctions on Lukashenka's regime while supporting Belarusians fighting for freedom.

🎥 Activist Vanessa Nakate @vanessa_vash gave a strong message at the #NewGlobalFinancingPact Summit in Paris, about how financing more #FossilFuel developments would deprive people and the planet of clean air.

No more empty promises. Greener energy must be prioritised for all.

Hi. Waves. It has come to my attention that some economists are going around saying 3 degrees warming is optimal. This is :
1) Genocidal. IPCC WG2 says that 2 degrees is already beyond adaptation FFS. 3 degrees is mass death for sure.
2) Extremely bad science ...

Activists tried to stop this military vehicle from entering the annual CANSEC arms show in Ottawa last month. What do we know about the "Mission Master" autonomous vehicle and the transnational weapons company Rheinmetall that manufactures it? https://t.co/8cPMslXV6R #StopCANSEC
