If the numbers listed here are correct, that's about 14% of Georgia's population coming out on the street to protest. Which is four times the proportion needed to ensure ultimate success, according to Chenoweth's
(heavily disputed) 3.5% rule. Let's see.

'oh, *that* 20 million pounds. Completely slipped my mind. Oopsy!'

How is #ClimateJustice connected to #FreePalestine ?:

-->Huge numbers of poor, innocent people are losing their homes, starving, facing violent deaths.

-->Our govts could follow citizens' wishes by helping these people; instead they're committed to making things worse for them.

I will be away for a week, so I will share my review of Not the End of the World & Climate Capitalism again.

If these are the best arguments green capitalism can develop, either climate capitalism is dead or we are — unless we make revolutionary change. climateandcapitalism.com/2024/05/07/can…

And there are two hospitals in Rafah ordered to evacuate yesterday. Including the one where Baby Yaman here is on an incubator and cannot possibly evacuate #SaveEmiratesHospital #SaveKuwaitiHospital #AllEyesOnRafah

Please #ClimateTwitter let's ease up on the condemnation when people respond to the enormity of the crisis inappropriately. Whether it's seeming not to take it seriously or indulging in morbid doomerism it's likely due to fear & lack of agency. Offer compassion & reasons to hope.

This report, based on Israeli whistleblower testimony, is harrowing.

What's happening is morally repugnant and clearly illegal. It’s time for the British government to respond with the clarity that this situation demands. #CeasefireNow #EndArmsToIsrael

600,000 children are sheltering in #Rafah . They need actions, not words.

The UK government must urgently:

🚨 Demand an immediate, definitive ceasefire
🚨 Suspend arms sales to Israel
🚨 Resume funding to UNRWA

'Food stock to support the people in the south is expected to run out tomorrow and the last functioning bakery in the south is about to run out of fuel.' --Hamish Young, UNICEF.

(Israel is stopping aid from entering Gaza, but UNICEF still needs support).

Spanish media is reporting a story of human sacrifice and solidarity in the age of climate collapse. Brazilian athletes (rowing team and a swimmer) have abandoned their goal of qualifying for the Olympic Games in Paris, to join rescue teams in Rio Grande do Sul instead.

When nobody in power will lift a finger to earn your vote but they're falling all over themselves trying to stomp out a robust protest movement, that tells you what the powerful are actually afraid of and where you should really be focusing your political energy.

ONE MILLION YEARS -- the expected years of life that have been lost as a result of Israel's slaughter of Palestinian children.
#FreePalestine

THE LARGEST ANTI-WAR AND PRO CEASEFIRE PROTEST IS MARCHING RIGHT NOW IN TEL AVIV

“In Rafah and Sderot: children deserve to live'. We are Jews and Palestinians demanding together to end the war & the occupation and to bring Israeli-palestinian peace.

Many politicians and institutional leaders are soapboxing “shared/common values”, blissfully oblivious to *THE* most important value, which is don’t kill fellow human beings.

Thankfully many young people around the world know and feel this truth. ❤️☮️

I’d like my University to uphold the ‘shared value’ of thinking that genocide is bad actually bristol247.com/student/news-s…

Trinity College, Dublin, agrees to pulls its investments from companies helping Israel brutalise the Palestinian people. Students respond by packing up their encampment.

A college statement reads: 'We are in solidarity with the students in our horror of what is happening in…

Turns out the problem is young people don't know anything about the Middle East. If they'd been the architect of policies that had killed thousands of people and destroyed whole countries in the Middle East they'd understand why all those Palestinian children have to die.

Rally on FRIDAY @ 12:30 pm Senate House

The University of Bristol's VC wants members of the university community to be able to speak their mind about the 'conflict' (genocide) in Gaza. And we will.

Come along and support Bristol Students Occupy 4 Palestine 🇵🇸🍉!

Bristol Palestine Alliance Jonathan Cook USSbriefs

Listen to this. The presenters have been getting some flak, but climate collapse is *hard* to face and communicate. The BBC's report does #TellTheTruth , & they don't immediately undermine it with someone saying it's not true or that some magic tech is going to make it all better.

To all VCs being summoned today to Downing Street. Yesterday students’ blood ran on Amsterdam’s streets after Uni of Amsterdam authorised extreme police violence.

Can at least some of you show a spine, reframe Sunak’s agenda, + stand up for our obligation to combat genocide?
