Malaga, Spain, today
British climate activists recently got up to five years of prison sentences for (organizing the) blocking of a road to warn about climate events that would block the roads far more effectively than a handful of protesters.

"It's the equivalent of just putting a blockade around London, saying you can't leave, & then dropping bombs month after month, & then closing down all the healthcare facilities, that's what's happening"
Professor Nizam Mamode giving evidence to MPs yesterday about Gaza
“The drones would come down and pick off civilians – children.”
A former NHS surgeon, Nizam Mamode, who spent a month working in Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, broke down while testifying about children in Gaza being shot by drones.
Dear journalists,
You have got climate change wrong.
You have systematically underreported it for 40 years.
Please stop listening to the blinded by wealth, privately educated bosses at your outlets and listen to the scientists.
Watch Breaking Boundaries on Netflix. Watch An Inconvenient Truth. Watch Chris Packham’s EARTH and Big Oil V the World on Iplayer.
This is, as David Attenborough says, the biggest threat humanity has ever faced. Everything is at stake.
Please have the guts to demand it is reported that way. Unionise, come together, do whatever you have to and demand it is treated like the unprecedented emergency it is. We are already decades late.
For the sake of all young people and all of us.
"I did amputations on people who just had to take paracetamol after the operation as pain relief.. one of my colleagues took maggots out of a childs throat in intensive care"
Yesterday Professor Mamode explained to MPs how Israel blocks medical aid from entering Gaza
Trump has appointed his new ambassador to Israel…
His name is Mike Huckabee
Mike says:
He dreams of a 'holiday home' in the Israeli-occupied West Bank
He is:
“An outspoken settlement backer”
And considers settlements:
“Part of Israel”
Pure dread for what’s to come.
Just now -- acclaimed British surgeon testifies to #UK Parliament, detailing how #IDF "quadcopters" would arrive at the scene of airstrikes in #Gaza & "pick-off" / "shoot" the injured, including children.

Look into her eyes.
The eyes of an Iranian woman – strong, courageous, defying tyranny where the world has looked away.
A gaze that the Tehran regime has decided to extinguish, one morning, at the hour of their prayers.
They are going to execute her. Her name is Varishe Moradi.
Wake up, world. Don’t let bravery die in silence.
#VarisheMoradi
Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing.
The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos.

Iraq is legalizing child marriage and lowering the age of consent to just 9.
Iraqi women’s rights activist risks her life and confronts an iman who sponsored the bill.
“You’re following Muhamad who married 9-year-old Aisha 1400 years ago. That is not normal in today’s world!”
Amazing idea to break up an alliance that has kept the West safe for 80 years after two World Wars, and fulfill Putin’s lifelong dream, because the EU is being mean to Elon.
“If they protest in a way that gets noticed, they go to jail” - @mrjamesob cuts through with clarity & truth.
Complicity in the politics of “don’t look up” is hastening ever greater #climate breakdown - we can’t say we didn’t know
