Resist oppression. Build collective power. Dream of another world. A former journalist, my life now revolves around climate justice, gender justice and comms that shifts power. Alternatively I can be found staring at trees, street art and the ocean

Calling this years' UN climate treaty negotiations a "defining business opportunity" is like saying a burning house is perfect 🔥 to roast marshmallows over. It's time to end #BigPolluters stranglehold over UN climate talks, it's time for polluter-free #COP30

The rise of authoritarianism and nationalist populism in some countries raises the risks that a rogue state could unilaterally launch dangerous sun-dimming solar geoengineering projects, some experts warned at a recent U.N. Environmental Programme workshop.
UN Sessions on Solar Geoengineering Trigger Unease - Inside Climate News
There’s a growing global movement to oppose sun-dimming atmospheric experiments, but concerns about the potential threat of unilateral efforts by rogue nations are on the rise.

India's environment ministry has issued an order stating mining for critical minerals can go ahead without public hearing. Historically, these hearings are where local communities raise concerns about land rights and environmental issues

It is also important to not just center Palestinian journalists and their stories but also continuously keep calling out big media outlets in the Global North that have tried to erase and undermine these stories.

It is important to keep these stories alive, now and forever.

Journalists should never have to choose between telling the truth or being killed for it. It is important not just for media resourcing infrastructure to continue supporting journalists, and to build and rebuild Palestinian media infrastructure
but also for cross movement solidarity and resourcing.

The genocide is not just been livestreamed on our TVs and phones, it is killing those who are courageously telling us what is happening on the ground. Every word written, every photo and every video shared has become an act of resistance.

The International Court of Justice has spoken:
✅ States are legally obliged to act
✅ Inaction = human rights violation
✅ Polluters must be held accountable

This is a legal revolution for our planet.

Spanish human rights defender and 'Madleen' volunteer Sergio Toribio has filed a war crimes complaint against #Netanyahu and top Israeli officials for the violent attack on the #FreedomFlotilla in international waters. @rumboagaza.bsky.social @freegazaaustralia.bsky.social
#EndGazaBlockade
Photo of Sergio Toribio, looking serious, with text "Sergio Toribio from 'Madleen' files war crime complaint against Netanyahu and Israeli officials over assault on Flotilla" --> Photo of Sergio Toribio, with text "The 'Madleen' departed on June 1, 2025, carrying live-saving aid for Gaza. On June 9, the Israeli Navy's elite 'Shayetet 13' unit intercepted the boat in international waters. The raid involved drones, a chemical substance, and so-called 'non-lethal' weapons. All 12 crew members were forcibly detained, taken against their will to Israel, then deported, in what legal experts call a clear violation of international humanitarian law and maritime law. THE COMPLAIN NAMES: 1. Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel 2. Israel Katz, Minister of Defense and alleged architect of the operation 3. Vice Admiral David Saar Salama, Commander of the Israeli Navy. 4. Senior Officials of Shayetet 13, Naval commando unit responsible for the assault. 5. Daniel Hagari, Israel Army spokesperson and former Shayetet 13 commander. "The legal strategy mirrors that used in Spain's 2010 'Mavi Marmara' case, in which the National Court accepted jurisdiction over a similar attack on a Gaza-bound civilian Flotilla. As in that case, the complaint denounces what it describes as a systematic pattern of repression against nonviolent humanitarian missions to Gaza and a deliberate attempt to criminalize international solidarity. Sergio's legal team stated that 'This lawsuit is not only about securing justice for a Spanish citizen who was illegally detained -- it's about defending the right of global civil society to act in solidarity with oppressed peoples. ' The complain requests that international witnesses be summoned, and calls on the court to issue internaitonal arrest warrants for all named individuals, including Netanyahu and senior Israeli military officials. This legal action represents a significant step in holding Israel accountable for attacks on humanitarian missions and reaffirms the commitment of Spanish civil society to uphold international law and defend the dignity of the Palestinian people.

👇 #geoengineering 🧵 of "principled disagreement" meaning no fossil shills/deniers. Given how fast elites are leveraging very real #climate fear to push techno-fixes our movements need strategic alignment now.

New to the issue? Check @homealliance.bsky.social they've been warning us for 15+ years

I've worked on climate for nearly 30 years & I take exactly the opposite position.

I think since SRM does nothing to address the fossil-fuel based economic system that causes climate change it is just another form of elite climate denial. Aka "dangerous distraction" in movement parlance.
giantwhispers.bsky.social Patrick Reinsborough ❌👑 @giantwhispers.bsky.social · Apr 24
Geoengineering is climate denial.

Geoengineering is like trying to stop dying of thirst in the desert by applying a new brand of lip balm.

Geoengineering is like trying to beat your heroin addiction by pretending fentanayl is methadone.

Geoengineering is predatory delay.

Don't fall for it. 2/2
