🇬🇧 Today marks a very dark day for fundamental human rights in the UK. Daniel Shaw and his co-defendants have been sentenced to spend 4 & 5 years in a prison cell for planning a peaceful protest. This decision is beyond comprehension. Full statement here: https://t.co/z3AjeUs4Us

As global temperatures rise above 1.5 degrees over pre-industrial levels, our courts are determined to silence those who sound the alarm. The UN calls the UK's judicial response to climate activism a 'nightmare', 'unique', 'shockingly disproportionate'. https://t.co/7705PT7OyR

The disproportionality of this election has stretched the idea that we live in a representative democracy to breaking point. This must be the last election under First Past the Post. Take action with @CompassOffice @UnlockDemocracy and @MakeVotesMatter:

Just attending a 3-day workshop on the danger of abrupt ocean circulation changes. Discussions are quite worrying. E.g. in 35 to 45 % of high quality models, convection in the open North Atlantic collapses in the 2030s due to #globalheating. -> Major climate disruption. ☹️

Israel kills 152 UNRWA workers in Gaza, the highest death toll among UN staffers ever, the US and UK don’t even blink. The ICJ accuses Israel of committing potential genocide in Gaza, the US and UK respond by cutting funding to the UNRWA organisation, which saves lives in Gaza.

Kids are dying. Some people: * That needs to stop right now. Other people: * Our kids or theirs? * Are there terrorists under them though? * Is it the other side's fault because they're being used as human shields? * Didn't we warn them to leave? * How many, really?
