Mr MT

YouTube video by TIME Ayana Elizabeth Johnson Urges Action on Climate Solutions in TIME Earth Award Speech

My speech for the TIME Earth Award. Sharing in hopes that hearing the way I speak about our climate in rooms of power will encourage you to also speak up. Because the truth is that every one of us has a sphere of influence we should be activating.

In this episode of @planetpossible.bsky.social, Julie Foley comments how ridiculous it is that the EA draws up coastal erosion management plans with foremost experts, and everyone, including the government, feels completely free to ignore them when building:

'Small-scale fishermen using low-impact methods are...forced out by industrial vessels "that take more in a day than we can in a season...we are not asking for special treatment, only for rules that protect the ocean, reward those who fish responsibly, + give our communities a chance to survive"'.

That clip of Bannon circulating rn where he admits he's going to prison if Dems ever regain power should actually be DEEPLY ALARMING bc it outlines stakes & desperation that will likely *escalate* regime lawlessness & violence. Taking action now could help prevent that.

Like the antifascist rallies, the recent election results show the fascist program to be deeply unpopular & open the way to both grassroots & institutional defiance. However, like the rallies, this alone will not be sufficient to dislodge the lawless GOP from power. They only create the opportunity.

Every sample tested contained chemicals, whether from treated or untreated wastewater, surface runoff or agricultural chemicals. Antibiotics used to treat both humans + animals 'at concentrations high enough to suggest that antimicrobial resistance should be studied further in UK freshwaters'

11. Regaining the freedom we’ve lost is much harder and less likely than defending the freedom we already possess. We must do all we can to stop governments with autocratic tendencies from winning elections and reasserting the old order. Lose it once, and it might be gone forever.

1. This is a thread on freedom, and how easy it is to lose.

Over the past 2,000 years in Europe, there have been few periods and places of freedom. For much of the time we lived under highly oppressive tyrannies of various kinds, whether small or grand, local or imperial, secular or religious.🧵

Like Zohran, Zack offers the thrill of cost free rebellion.

The Spectator are confused.

It's not going to be cost free.

Billionaires are going to pay more.

Wales 'hurt hardest' by Brexit as politician warns: 'We are in a mess' The EU remains Wales' biggest trading partner

🚨 Wales hurt *hardest* by Brexit🔥

Senedd inquiry finds unanimous agreement that UK-EU deal failed Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 👉 crushing exports, isolating culture, erasing the nation’s voice in Europe.

Ministers refused to even give evidence.

Economic vandalism by neglect.

Hard left disruptors copying tactics of trump and Farage.

"hard left disruptors."

Or just give a crap about people?

And want things to be affordable.

I hope this pattern is becoming clearer:

Billionaires target & destroy assets that serve the public interest so that their profits & power go uncontested.

From news to tech to finance & space, billionaires are not interested in "innovation" or "job creation" or any of that bullshit. They plunder.

Can assure Clive I'm one MP who has no desire to be associated with Mamdani at all. The politics that appeals to NYC would go down like a cup of cold sick in US Rust Belt states or in UK equivalents like North Durham.

This guy is honestly just the personification of gout.

Yeah - hard to imagine anyone in north Durham wanting free childcare, rent controls, or more money paid into public services by billionaires.

Oh, wait…

Helping an indigenous farmer survive seems like crucial work in Palestine ❤️

I think it's fairly obvious these are AI-generated videos basically reading his posts aloud; an attempt, perhaps, to make his decrees via social media seem more official without having to get him to read anything and stay on-message.

As someone who has just filled up at $6.50 per US gallon (£1.30 per litre) I do find some US complainage about fuel prices funny.

Also, it should be expensive. Driving should not be cheap.

Free Electricity. Like, at no cost. For everyone. Now. Let's talk about affordability, abundance, and Australia--and why thanks to Trump we can't have nice things

If I were running in next year's midterms, I'd be saying: Aussies are getting free electricity, and we're getting huge price spikes.

Because they built solar, and Trump is blocking it.

In 2024, we emitted approximately 1,280,000,000 tonnes of CO2e more than 2023.

#WrongDirection

I mean, Mamdani didn't talk about guns, abortion, education, or even fascism eith. He only talked about Gaza when he was asked.

He picked the top issues in the city — affordability and belonging — and wrote a campaign poem on them. That's what you do to win.

Trump filed lawsuits over jokes, tweets, and news articles, but not once over any of the countless allegations of child rape. I feel like more people should mention that.

Reeves considers cut to green levies in effort to reduce cost of energy bills Exclusive: Chancellor hopes to save up to £170 from average bill but industry insiders say move would be ‘disastrous’

Can’t quite believe the Chancellor is seriously considering slashing support for home energy efficiency as a way to cut fuel bills 👀. Locking people into cold & leaky homes which will cost them more to heat & decimating the insulation industry at same time. Total madness 👇

Please, for the love of all the deities...

The long winter evenings will just fly by.

I keep seeing journalism described as an "ecosystem" and I guess that tracks because it's undergoing an extinction crisis caused by billionaires, too.

good time to respectfully tap the "please support worker-led, billionaire-free, independent news" sign

"We should no longer be making PFAS"

Water UK's David Henderson tells Nick Robinson removing PFAS from water sources is so hard we should talk about a ban on forever chemicals, not a clean up.

Our story on the DWI ordering water firms to act on PFAS in water sources made the Today Programme.
