What happens when a hacker and activist occupies parliament then gets hired to be a government minister? Audrey Tang didn't just demand a better democracy, she built it. 🧵

Yes, children understand the madness and injustice of a world with these things in.

Everyone should read this thread on the meaning of nonviolence.

In 2008, the collapse of a single bank - Lehman Brothers - nearly brought down the global economy. Now, a far bigger crash is brewing. And our so-called leaders know it. But they're doing nothing about it.🧵

Nine times out of ten, it’s a waste of time arguing with someone from the other side of the political spectrum. You’d be better off making them a cup of tea. Here’s why that might actually work - and why your childhood determined your politics.🧵

Everything was closing - the library, the college, community centre. Bills were sky-rocketing. Did local people give up? Did they riot? Not in this Bristol community. Instead, they built the UK’s biggest wind turbine!

Is this what we want our streets to look like? Or do we want cleaner air and more room for cycling?

My son was 1 when leaders gathered in Paris & pledged to keep warming BELOW 1.5C. He’s now 11, & we’re spending our second year ABOVE 1.5C. They’ve doomed all our children because preserving a suicidal economy is more important. We. Should. Be. Furious.

It’s easy to despair when Tommy Robinson and 100,000 far-right marchers fill London + Reform is surging in the polls. But the UK — and other countries — have stopped the far right in its tracks in the recent past. Here’s how 🧵

Experts feared it would take 193 years to reduce London's deadly levels of NO₂ air pollution to legal levels. Mayor Sadiq Khan defied pro-fossil fuel and motoring lobbyists to achieve the life-saving target in just 9 YEARS. Here's how he and his team did it 🧵

Zack Polanski became leader of the Green Party just a month ago but has already taken British politics by storm. Tonight he appears on Question Time alongside a rogues’ gallery of right-wingers. So where did he come from - and what does he believe? 🧵

My son was 1 when leaders pledged to keep warming below 1.5C. By his 11th birthday even 2C is dead. I’m lost for words at the scale of this betrayal.

Most of our kids will be migrants.

This is incredibly damning from a former BBC environment correspondent. BBC reporting of climate must be led by science. Gibb must go.

It's the wokest place in the world. 👩🏾 Women co-lead everything. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 Communities make decisions for themeslves. 💰 No-one pays taxes. 🤝🏾 Prisons are being replaced with mediation. But now Islamists are trying to abolish it. This is the story of Rojava. 🧵

When my son was 1 world leaders pledged to keep warming below 1.5C. By the time he’s 13 we’re likely to hit a yearly average of 1.7C. A childhood defined by corporate greed, political corruption, media complicity & public apathy. The Great Betrayal.

Net Zero is little more than greenwash. And now that neoliberal ‘centrism’ has successfully paved the way for neoliberal authoritarianism, greenwash is no longer necessary. The lesson? Money will always trump our children’s futures until this system is ripped to pieces.
