How can the British government departments take the action we need on climate breakdown when their boards are littered with the people causing the problem: theecologist.org/2025/oct/03/... - me for @theecologist.org

The real power brokers

We won’t get real climate action while big polluters are overseeing government departments.

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database.

Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away.

The #GlobalSumudFlotilla was attacked by Israel in international waters. Multiple boats reported attacks by drones.

Contact the Irish government. Demand they send an observer to the flotilla.

While the flotilla continues, Israel continues to bomb Gaza around the clock.
