Repeat after me. A habitable planet is more important than the profits of a few fossil fuel companies.

Pass it on.

I lived for decades in this country with ILR. Married to a British person, worked in public sector, did volunteer work. This demonisation is so puerile.

Public health shouldnโ€™t be centred around individual behaviour change. It should be focused on changing the wider commercial, social, environmental & ultimately political determinants of health. Behaviour change will naturally come when healthy behaviours are facilitated by those structural changes.

Dr Katherine Calvin is not only NASA's Chief Scientist. She is also, along with Dr Joy Jaqueline Pereira, Co-Chair of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)'s Working Group 3, and thus the highest ranking American scientist on the IPCC.

Trump and Musk just fired her.

Trumpโ€™s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.

Iโ€™ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Kamala Harris Paid the Price for Not Breaking With Biden on Gaza, New Poll Shows Twenty-nine percent of non-voters who supported Biden in 2020 said U.S. support for the genocide was the top reason they sat the 2024 election, according to a survey by YouGov.

Reminder: Harris could have ended the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and won as a result. If you're gloating about people "getting what they deserve" because they didn't vote for her (Palestinian children don't vote in US elections btw), give your head a damn shake.
