What happened in Valencia is not going to wake us up, is it. Scientists say it was powered by climate change. Radio presenters and commentators are ignoring that and lying to themselves that it's just a random event. Like the recent flooding in France, the insane flooding in Poland a month ago, the devastation of North Carolina a few weeks back, the record hot summer globally, the record hot year globally etc. We simply refuse to even seriously face climate change let alone act.
Republicans are now saying Trump “didn’t say what he said about shooting Liz Cheney” when he said what he said about shooting Liz Cheney.
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

We have entered an entirely new phase of the climate crisis, and I am very worried it is not being recognized.
This requires all climate activists to profoundly re-assess, and completely renew their strategies, to avoid wasted effort.

This you @FacesOutOfCTX correcting the author herself on her own books theme?!
You patronising, incompetent, sexist, Islamaphobic arse.
You're such a dumbass you can't even do bigotry right.
And that's NOT a high bar.
I don't think people understand just how bad it is that UK energy prices are still more than 40% higher than they should be.
It increases the cost of everything, every single thing you buy, every shop, theatre, restaurant.
The knock on effect is crippling, but nothing is done.
We always forget why inflation was 11%, it was due to Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak.
Who instead of buying out the Energy Companies with £200bn gave it to them for nothing.
Our bills went up 215%.
France's 4%.
France own everything, while we own nothing.
Why is the UK's climate policy based on what oil companies want, rather than what the public wants or what the evidence says is necessary?
This is not democracy, this is a system that is corrupt to its core
Once we leave the #ECHR, then they will come after the 2010 Equality Act. Then when we will leave that, the Disability Discrimination Acts, then the Race Relations Act, then the Equal Pay Act.
We will be back in the 1950s.
And still the immigration problem won't be resolved.

I have seen the insides of too many dead kids for me to spend my life on any project besides fomenting a revolutionary zeitgeist against our rulers.
I have seen the insides of too many dead kids to ever see the world the same way again, to ever feel the same way inside again, to ever meet the sun on my skin or the wind in my hair or the earth beneath my feet in the same way again.
I have seen the insides of too many dead kids to ever again look at living kids without secretly being grateful that their insides are on the inside where they belong.
I have seen the insides of too many dead kids to care if I hurt your feelings when I talk about how I have seen the insides of too many dead kids.
I have seen the insides of too many dead kids to care if you call me a terrorist supporter, an anti-semite, a traitor, or any other name your complete lack of an argument causes you to want to call me.

Good to have coverage of the appalling slashing of our youth services in Birmingham and locally in Druids Heath. Outrageous this is happening in such a young city and in a part of it that's already left behind. @Brumgreens@JournoJess_ : https://t.co/YviVD2gone
The #metaverse could let Silicon Valley track your facial expressions, blood pressure, and your breathing rates — showing exactly why our internet laws need updating.
Or we could just #nationaliseFacebook https://t.co/wbskiufmk3
#Facebook knows exactly what it is doing and does not care.
It is being used to incite violence and genocide, and IT DOES NOT CARE.
We need to #nationaliseFacebook.

#Facebook’s #metaverse is no utopian vision — it's another opportunity for Big Tech to colonize our lives in the name of profit
We need to #nationaliseFacebook
