The climate crisis/biodiversity loss are rooted not only on capitalism, but on the radical prometheanism that Europe spread through colonialism and conquest.

We should promote ecosocialist development through integration with our biomes.

Distancing ourselves from nature clearly didn't work

It behaves erratically and should not be trusted.

Time for Latin America and BRICS to wake up

Essa obsessão do governo com a margem equatorial é o “drill, baby, drill” da centro-esquerda brasileira

Estamos em 2025, passando de 1.5C, a todo vapor rumo a 3C e os caras falando de enriquecer com óleo

Uma esquerda ecossocialista é urgente! #emergênciaclimática

Some crazy mfs were talking about burning even more coal to power new models

It is obvious now that we don’t need this

Deported Brazilians reported being handcuffed, beaten, choked and some received death threats by American agents during the flight, even within Brazilian air space

This ain’t the 20th century anymore. Trump is in for a surprise if he thinks this will happen without a response…
