Another hurricane just wrecked us—we can’t live like this. The Big Greens have failed us, so we must act. Pull up to our Action Brainstorming sesh tonight. Our next action needs you! #Milton #Helene #ClimateEmergency https://t.co/tfAa8wzpcn

65 doctors, nurses, and paramedics told the New York Times what they saw in Gaza. What they saw was a pattern of children being shot in the head.

We just disrupted the #NYFF62 again, to make it really clear: there is no film on a dead planet! #nofilmonadeadplanet. “When my kids have kids, I want them to come to the #NYFF too, but there will be no film on a dead planet! There are no climate havens, not even Alice Tully Hall,” warned Lydia W, one of the disrupters.

Extinction Rebellion did this in 2019. Within an hour of the pink boat arriving, kids were playing along Oxford Street and Regent Street, cyclists meandered, the air cleared, people stood in the road and had conversations. Peace had descended.

I want everyone to know that I am not seeking the democratic party nomination for president.

#BREAKING - We just disrupted a @AMNH fundraising luncheon (#NoLunchOnADeadPlanet) to ask politely if we could please move the climate exhibit out of the basement! #TellTheTruth #ActNow #Climate #NatureEmergency [VIDEO THREAD]

3 We are acting in ways that may seem irrational, but this is because no one is having a sane response to the urgency, danger, and magnitude of the #ClimateCrisis. There have been 28 COPs and emissions have only gone up! We stand to lose everything we ❤️

Ummm so I was at the @MetOpera performance of Tannhäuser, and the guy in front of us disrupted the whole performance by going off on climate change??!!

[Isiah Magsino @IsiahMagsino]

Climate change protests strike tonight at Met Opera! Tannhäuser is a great opera btw!

Second day of our strike in front of the Russian embassy. We are in the city center of Berlin. But there is almost no coverage about the blockade in the German media. It’s 258th day. People are starving. People are dying. People are in despair. #SaveArtsakh

I'm relaunching a fundraiser for a climate project I'm working on. I'm looking for feedback on the fundraising page and of course money: https://t.co/RFV6C2dVs9

To make a high-leverage impact on the climate crisis, donate to Modest Proposals. They prodded Google to 10x their climate commitments; they stopped progress on a refinery opening in Wisconsin. Super scrappy, super successful at moving hearts and minds. https://t.co/M0ys42dkN2

Hey quick test, can y’all tell me if this post is blocked? Thanks!! https://t.co/4flXJu2Xz5

CAPTCHA needs an impossible-to-remove watermark that GPT4 picks up and realizes it's being misused. Maybe there should be a law that forces image recognition algorithms to look for the watermark, like how color printers have to add anticounterfeiting ID dots when they see money.

For @wsj to say flat out that SVB could have failed because they added non-white men to their board shows how far behind the times (and certifiably stupid) this publication really is. It makes me so angry and very sad. WSJ readers and staff deserve better.
