Face the Future

Legacy media are not our allies. They are the mouthpiece of the ruling class. And how many of them have spoken out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the direct targeting of Palestinian journalists? You cannot give these people an inch. Their smears won’t work this time.

🚨 MANCHESTER 5 SENTENCING: 4 GUILTY, 1 NOT GUILTY 🧡 Today a jury found Daniel, Margaret, Indigo and Ella guilty of conspiracy to commit a public nuisance after they were arrested on their way to Manchester Airport on 5th August. 🔥 Noah, 19, who was arrested later that day at his home in Birmingham, was acquitted. ⛓️ The 4 have not been granted bail, and will remain in prison until their sentencing on 23rd May, despite having already spent 6 months on remand.

We did a tour from Shama, on the Mediterranean at Lebanon's border with Palestine, for a twenty mile circuit and 90% of all buildings were destroyed. I was just stunned by the devastation of what plainly Israel intends to make uninhabitable. Here I reflect on just one building.

History will not be kind to our Labour Govt. And I think neither will voters at the next GE. This is such a stupid statement from Reeves. It is *exactly* the sort of environmentally ignorant attitude that has brought us to this point in our #ClimateCrisis.

🚨 OVER 1,000 PEOPLE BLOCK THE STRAND On the second day of the mass appeal hearing for 16 Just Stop Oil supporters, over 1000 people peacefully sat in the road with @DefendourJuries. Press release: juststopoil.org/2025/01/30/ove…

How do you say “we told you so” nicely, without screaming? Without upsetting the comfortable classes who told us we were wrong, or that we were over-dramatic, or scare-mongering, or plain mad? Who put some of the best people in the world in prison FOR BEING RIGHT? A thread 🧵1/12

Another one that hasn’t aged well. Is he going for some kind of record?

THE PEOPLE vs THE CORPORATE STATE @ChrisGPackham opens the two days of solidarity outside the Royal Courts of Justice. “We come here again to exercise our right to peacefully protest, to push back-on the corruption in our government…” #SackLordWalney

🚨IMPORTANT: Russia has sentenced 16 PEACEFUL climate activists to a whopping 41 YEARS. Oh wait, did we say Russia? We meant the UK.

Israel holds 3376 hostages - Palestinians held without charge. Of those more than 300 are CHILDREN. In total, Israel holds 10400 people who have no civil liberties courtesy of living in an apartheid state, under military occupation. Lest we forget! aljazeera.com/news/2025/1/26…

#SocialistSunday The two of us were found not guilty on Thursday

“Twenty-five organisations and researchers have written to the justice secretary, calling on her to use her discretionary powers to revoke Delap’s recall, find a suitable tag for her to wear, and launch an inquiry into the systemic failures” theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

As you read this article, don’t forget that this is in the UK - a so-called democratic society where nonviolent activists get extreme prison centres #SackLordWalney “I was jailed for four years for a non-violent climate protest – this is my prison diary” theguardian.com/environment/20…

A 78-year-old climate protester has had her prison term extended for being “unlawfully at large” when government contractors were unable to find the right-sized tag for her wrist, which would have allowed her to complete her sentence in the community. theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

Government whips brutally cut down the CAN Bill via ugly parliamentary chicanery, bullying Labour MPs who back the #CANBill and cynically talking it out. Their ‘commitments’ to climate and nature are skin deep. Let’s remember how they let us down. Let’s demand better.

Sentencing a doctor to a year in prison for standing against fossil fuels shows just how upside-down our world is. Dr. Patrick Hart acted out of a duty of care - as a doctor - and as a human being. Meanwhile, the real criminals - fossil fuel giants like Exxon, BP, Shell - remain free to continue destroying the planet and not just endangering but actually taking lives. And causing massive economic damage - witness the $320 billion global cost of extreme weather just reported for last year.

Anna Holland is a current political prisoner in the UK. Anna was sentenced to 20 months after throwing soup at protective glass in front of a Van Gogh painting. No damage to the painting occurred, but judge Hehir seemed to base the sentencing on theoretical damage. 1/3
