Why didn't slaves revolt? They did! 8-10% of slave ships experienced revolts. In 1811, slaves on the Amelia seized the ship and sailed it back across the Atlantic to Sierra Leone. There, they claimed their freedom and bought the land that became Congotown. #RedHotHistory

It’s fitting that the Irish are leading the boycott of Eurovision as the word “boycott” actually comes from Ireland. Here’s the inspiring story of the first boycott. #History. 🧵

Thought this deserved more than 19 likes to be honest. Is no-one else interested in the most prophetic work of humanity?

History shows us that nations who build military forces as deterrents end up using them sooner or later. This is why we must pursue nonviolence - and nuclear disarmament.

Land of the free.

Looks like @ZackPolanski is right about NATO. Also we need democratic control of social media algorithms - because this is how they will destroy democracy if we let them.

Water lilies are growing in a pond. They double in number every day. On the first day there is one, on the second day there are two, and so on. If the entire surface of the pond were to be covered by lily pads on the thirtieth day, on what day would it be half covered?

Wow. This guy not only means it - he is making it happen. Total respect.

Zack Polanski, "They're always pushing this idea that there's no alternative, that to want a better fairer greener world is some kind of fantasy idea" "Because the biggest difference between the Green Party and the Labour Party is we have imagination, and I believe people in the

To avoid catastrophic tipping points, we’d need to build the world’s second-largest industry just to pull carbon from the sky. 10B tonnes a year. Meanwhile fossil fuels expand. This is the logic of collapse. Time to rebel. https://t.co/CtgAboIJes

Me too.

We need to lower bills and tax billionaires. We can make hope normal again. My chat today with @owenjonesjourno https://t.co/lZsQdHcl3k
