Graphic of Ciara alleyne, 22, chair of the young green. She speaks about her journey into politics including the quote that as one of the only people of colour raised in her school that naturally politicises you.
I am so proud of Ciara - our Co-Chair of @younggreens.bsky.social and the next Cllr for Herne Hill and Loughborough Jnc.
Today, she is rightly named The Times 'Young Power List'. She epitomises HOPE.
But why has China become a global leader in renewable energy production? Because the fossil fuel industry has used its enormous influence (and funding) to attack any moves towards a transition to renewable energy in the West, using both the libertarian & far right political movements & the media.
Wild that Altman is being sued by his sister for repeated sexual abuse and that doesn’t come up in basically every conversation about him. I get that it’s alleged but if that shit was happening to someone else I feel like that would come up, particularly if that person had a history of lying a lot.
Green book which says “Fieldwork as a Sex Object” by Meena Kandasamy. Subtitle on book “I download the video. I mute the audio before replaying it frame by frame in dread, in desperation. I watch it four times. It is not me. It is my fucking face.”
Reading this revolutionary book by Meena Kandasamy, one of the most important writers of our time. She eviscerates Hindutva incel trolls with such elegant courage and brilliant language. We don’t deserve her, but we are endlessly lucky to have her.
UNREAL: A drone maker backed by Trump’s two oldest sons is trying to sell to Gulf countries while they are under attack by Iran and dependent on the U.S. military led by their father. In other words Trump to profit from the war. apnews.com/article/trum...
If we want secure jobs, a safe climate for the next generation & true energy independence the only route is through renewables. We know it works, it lower bills & makes us safe from energy shocks.
We just need politicians brave enough to stand up to the oil & gas lobby & their mates in Reform.
BIG news!

This is utter garbage. I believe in net zero. We need to get there. But renewables are not competitive. That's why they are subsidised. Fossil fuel markets are highly competitive. It shouldn't be hard to hold these two thoughts at the same time.
You might have formed the impression that Paul Johnson, former director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, knows what he's talking about. The media treats him like the voice of God. But here he is - and not for the first time - talking out of his hat. Let's break it down in a short thread. 🧵
Today, US & Israeli forces bombed the Gandhi Children’s Hospital in Iran’s capital of Tehran.
Nurses supposedly risked their lives carrying newborns to safety from the rubble.
I’m having trouble finding more reporting about this, but here is at least a blurb from Reuters:
No more illegal wars. Introduce a prevention of military intervention act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice.
The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war.
Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war.
The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.
once again reminding everyone to funnel your emotions into organizing and building solidarity in your community and not pointless doomscrolling
Sky News don't seem as excited as the rest of us.

Now there is hope! It's no longer a choice between grim and grimmer. We can vote for who we want and win. Anywhere.
It's just one constituency, but the Green victory in Gorton and Denton is an electric shock to our political system.
Drop the charges.

The Epstein victims stood behind Bondi and she wouldn’t even look at them.
When asked about the men who raped them, here is what she said…….. I guess it’s what Trump told her to fit in somewhere.
truly monstrous
i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.
Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.
Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’
I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.
Swapping Bovino for this clown is like shitting your pants & changing your necktie
daendeleon 2d @ Threads Greg Bovino was asked how he felt about his demotion today. "Well, obviously, I'm not happy", he replied. Someone in the crowd shouted back, "So which one are you?"
just choked on my beverage
Here’s a sample of why wretched old pedo Trump would rather incinerate the planet than release the Epstein files.

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.
After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
So, you can carry firearm across state lines to a protest and if you shoot two people Kash Patel will advise you to sue the media and the Biden Administration. If you are in your home state and never draw your gun, and get shot by ICE Kash Patel says its "illegal" to carry a gun to a protest. 🙄
Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.
ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today. ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
Seems like they denied Alex Pretti of his second amendment rights as well. The silence of the NRA and gun nuts babbling about governemnt tyranny is truly deafening
