What is commonage?

And how could unlocking its enormous rewilding potential revolutionise the Irish landscape for the better ...

Of nature, the climate, and *everyone*, especially farmers + rural communities?

A thread...

I could do a top 100 reasons to despair in 2023 but here's my top 10 good news stories for nature this year:

1. Has to be the passing of the Nature Restoration Law. What a battle it was but we now have a basis to turn the tide for nature in the 🇪🇺 🙌

Ireland is Full
Of empty homes
Of derelict buildings
Of derelict sites
Of land

Ireland is full
Of empathy
Of love
Of care
Of community

Ireland is Full
Of ideas
Of Hope
Of energy
Of capacity & ability

Ireland can ensure everyone here has a home, security, dignity

Anyone who knows the International Committee of the Red Cross knows that their official policy is to never speak out (https://t.co/pGX2wTwQKs)

Which is why such a statement by the ICRC president is so exceptional, and why you should listen.

Here's what she says:

"The things I saw [in the European Gaza hospital] is beyond anything that anyone should be in a position to described.

What shocked me the most were the children, with atrocious injuries and at the same time having lost their parents with no-one looking after them.

We are facing a situation here that will not be healed by sending in more trucks. We need to provide protection to the civilians in Gaza, to the women and children, to the elderly people that I saw today that have nowhere to go...

We have to find solutions to this. We can't turn away from what is evidently a moral failure in the face of the international community."

He says ‘I’m done with sharing images. Now trying to survive surrounded by tanks. I shared enough.. our situation is beyond catastrophic. We are not sharable content. We are a people being exterminated and a cause not to be forgotten. We are alone’ 💔💔

[Robin Monotti @robinmonotti]

In less than 2 minutes, the representative for the State of Palestine at the UN, eviscerates the entire myth of Western "civilization" under the US Military Industrial Complex. This should be mandatory viewing in schools and universities throughout the Western world, if we do want to learn about upholding human rights, before we even begin to preach them to others.

A second Nakba unfolding right in front of our eyes. Ceasefire now

Silence is complicity.

Please watch this devastating BBC
I/view with a paediatric intensive care doctor in Gaza.
There is an acronym unique to the Gaza Strip-
WCNSF = wounded child no surviving family.

“Doctors are amputating patient children without anaesthesia. Can you imagine?”

I grew up in a Zionist household, spent 12 years in a Zionist youth movement, lived 4 years in Israel, and have friends and family who served in the IDF.

When that is your world, it's hard to see apartheid when it's happening.
