It's a week since I woke up expecting to be part of a global sigh of relief, rather than a global gasp of horror & dread. Resistance is FERTILE, serious & organising brilliantly.
Some of us drowned our shock in pints, tears and stitches, making craftivist plaques. They say: Don't let the bustards get you down, Live adventously, Not my circus, Hope, Utopia now, Good things happen when good people do something

53 million people rely on high-risk tropical forests for water, food, jobs, and disaster resilience.

Tripling investments in these forests can drive growth and boost the fight against climate change and biodiversity loss.

Donald Trump thinks he’s all powerful. It’s up to us to remind him on October 18th that he’s not.

We will show him who really has the power in this country — and we will do it peacefully. nokings.org

Sunak saddled us with 25 year contracts with Freeports that's why Labour says we can't join the single market. And my local MP confirmed it. We have been really stitched up. UK Freeports are incompatible with EU ones because companies pay no tax on customs and excise.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

UK edges £20m, enough to build about 200 homes. Reparation needed at scale, mostly from the arms companies, and their clients, who've profited massively from the slaughter, and now describe their wares as battle tested.

The federal food program helping more than 1 in 4 young children access fresh produce, milk, and formula will run out of funding next week.

Over 5 million children could lose food assistance — all thanks to the Trump-Republican shutdown.

The cruelty is endless.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

The ECHR was Britain’s response to WW2 fascist regimes. With authoritarianism on the rise again, we’d be mad to give up the protections it provides. Tell your MP we won’t let that happen! actionstorm.org/petitions/pr...
