Big sorry for not posting for ages and then doing a mega dump of our activities. Because we’ve been so busy planning and doing we’ve had precious little time and energy to keep up with socials too. We are active on Instagram redrebels_London too. Happy equinox fine people.

September was super super busy! So far for October we are planning to support the next @pscupdates.bsky.social London march, some London Red Rebels will travel to support fellow Reds in Europe, while others plan to support a protest outside an arms factory complicit in the ongoing genocide. 🙏🏽

With @insureoursurvival.bsky.social to call out insurers Axa and AIG who insist on insuring projects and companies driving us to extinction. September 2025 turned out to be super busy calling for peace, social & economic justice, clean waterways & an end to genocide.

With @cuttheties.bsky.social calling Blackrock - complicit in ecocidal fossil fuels. They have their greedy fingers in many pies & lobbied hard to get enormous influence on our government. Might that explain the dangerous U turn on eco targets? Cute dog insisted on being in the picture.

Can’t remember the date. We went to the DSEI arms fair to call for peace globally and an end to the arms trade. As ever, Palestine is very much in our hearts. @caatuk.bsky.social

Bluesky hive mind call out:
For our launch on the 28th July, Media Revolution is looking for examples of brazen media disinformation from around the world (overt or by omission). I think I probably have enough from the USA but don't hold back. Do DM me if anything comes to mind.

Great image & message. Presume it’s from the car crash protest in solidarity with glorious @palaction.bsky.social which was forced from a Parliament Square to Trafalgar Square still full of fences from the weekend by @metpolice.bsky.social who got super aggy for no real reason. Dire policing. 😑

As Oily Slickers we supported @cuttheties.bsky.social today at advertising agency WPP, who work for evil fossil fuel companies who harm people and planet. We call for an end to fossil fuel advertising and for those who work at WPP to refuse to work for dodgy clients. @badvertising.bsky.social

After 450 million years of evolutionary history, shark populations are collapsing, and more than a third of shark species and their relatives face extinction.

Now scientists are trying to use the lure of “Jaws” to advance shark conservation efforts.

‘Jaws’ made people fear sharks. 50 years later, can it help save them?

Scientists are using the lure of Steven Spielberg's blockbuster to aid shark conservation efforts.

THE GUARDIAN: Drax's green façade crumbles: billions in subsidies fuel ancient forest destruction while the UK loses sight of genuine climate action. Time to end this eco-scam and invest in real renewable energy solutions.

Ancient trees are shipped to the UK, then burned – using billions in ‘green’ subsidies. Stop this madness now | Dale Vince

BREAKING: Home Secretary Yvette Cooper wants to ban Palestine Action as a terrorist group.

This decision will need to come before Parliament, and the House of Commons and House of Lords must debate and approve it. It will be open to legal challenge.

The US Army has just appointed OpenAI, Palantir, & Meta executives as Lieutenant Colonels.

The US is not only a threat to us financially, & militarily, but now to our data privacy as well.

Unless the Labor government wants to do this too, AUKUS undeniably must be terminated.
