XRUK-Actions

💚As an individual we hold so much power.
As a collective we are even stronger.

Think about who benefits from keeping us isolated and silent.

In times of atrocity, destruction and genocide, the courage to act to disrupt, to resist, to disobey is a right and moral responsibility to many.

BREAKING: Over a thousand people gather in Trafalgar Square to oppose genocide and the Palestine Action ban.

Police have already started arresting peaceful protestors under the Terrorism Act for silently holding signs which say "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action"

"10 years after the Paris Agreement, governments plan to produce more than double the volume of fossil fuels in 2030 than would be consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C"

It’s what happens when people are constantly fed lies, and the inability to think for oneself is not solely caused by the misfortune of a poor education.

Kent CC votes to scrap climate emergency declaration | LocalGov Reform UK-led Kent County Council has voted to rescind its climate emergency declaration despite criticisms it is ‘ignoring scientific evidence’.

DON’T PANIC!

#Kent councillors decide there is no climate emergency. It’s rumoured that next week motions to declare the world is flat and that the moon is made of green cheese are on the agenda.

No Kemi. This does not make you sound tough, nor like the leadership our country needs.
Ignoring the science and the horrific implications of climate breakdown will spell disaster for all our children, including your own.

‘History will remember who showed up’: Keir Starmer faces call to attend Cop30 summit Response from leaders and key climate figures comes after PM’s aides advised non-attendance over concerns Reform may attack him

Very bad:
Starmer is not planning to attend crucial global summit on climate breakdown, an existential threat to humanity.

Even worse:
This is attributed as being because he's unable to stand up to Reform UK's climate denial and is worried about them saying nasty things about him.

"Why should a person who goes out to work be taxed more heavily than someone sitting on their bottom watching their inherited wealth grow?"

Political commentator @MarinaPurkiss gets to the heart of our broken tax system. Work is taxed more than wealth. It's time for a #WealthTax

Inside the everyday Facebook networks where far-right ideas grow The Guardian spent a year studying an online community trading in anti-immigration sentiment and misinformation. Experts say such spaces can play a role in radicalisation

A form of resistance. Some leave X and return and none of the alternatives are ideal. Consider facebook…

Ramón Méndez Galain, the humble professor who turned little Uruguay into a renewable energy giant

Uruguay proves renewable energy isn’t a dream — it’s a choice.

And it’s entirely doable — if politicians have the guts.

A humble professor called Ramón Méndez Galain showed the so-called leaders of Europe and the US how it can be done. 🧵

The #mega-rich are treating the planet like their personal playground:
🤑 dodging taxes
💨 mega-polluting our planet
📈 driving up prices
🏘️ buying up houses
🏥 crumbling the #NHS

Screenshot of the gov.uk petition 'Do not introduce Digital ID cards' showing over 1 million signatories

One million people have already signed a petition against ID cards.

If we’re serious about rebuilding trust, this is the last place to start.

It's like deciding to become a pacifist and then walking into your roughest local pub and knocking everyone's pints out of their hands.

A small flock of Swifts sweep across a clear blue sky, their slim bodies and crescent wings cutting sharply above the roof of a house. A beloved summer sight - and one at risk of disappearing if protections for nature are lost.

The tree you climbed as a child. Gone. The Swifts over your town. Gone. The air you breathe. Polluted. The river. Unsafe.

This is the reality of deregulation.

Cutting protections would mean disaster for nature & our economy.

🚨This isn’t history. It’s a plan for our future.

Amnesty UK has exposed powerful & well-funded groups that are working to stop women, LGBTI+ people & children making decisions over our bodies, health & futures.

This matters to all of us as everyone’s rights are at risk.

Join us in exposing them.

Some of us do indeed try our best to use the means available to tell the truth. Social media channels offer the chance to talk, even if certain billionaires shut down topics they disagree with.

"These results suggest that, while some forms of social media use are harmful, others are beneficial and can be leveraged to foster a well-informed society."

(Some of us are do try our best to help foster a well-informed society! 🙃)

‘Send your daughters or you get no aid’: the Taliban are making religious schools girls’ only option Food handouts and employment are increasingly tied to Afghan families’ agreement to strict Islamic education

“Send your daughters, or you get no aid” 💥

The Taliban are forcing Afghan girls into religious schools, tying food and jobs to strict indoctrination

This is coercion, not education ✊🌍

Climate change is not a con-job. If you want to know more about the evidence for and causes of #ClimateChange, head to our website: royalsociety.org/news-resourc...

The Dear Leader strikes again, lecturing the UN about how climate change is a ‘con.’ Funny how the only con we see is the one behind the podium pretending science is optional.
