BREAKING: we just confronted the US Energy Secretary. The militarized response was unlike anything we've ever seen. A Black man was told "we can shoot you, like you do each other."
A woman had her neck mashed to the ground.
Another was besieged to the point of vomiting (1/9)🧵
OCCUPATION HAS BEGUN AT MA STATE HOUSE. Activists from XR Boston and @Scientistrebel1 refuse to leave the MA House Chamber until Speaker Speaker @RonMariano introduces legislation banning New Fossil Fuel Infrastructure.
TW: Violence
Shocking violence against peacefully protesting students‼️
The CvB and security staff of TU/e have shown their worst side and have physically attacked their students who tried to peacefully protest their university and its collaboration with the fossil industry.
I just spoke to my new nemesis CEO of @Equinor and its majority shareholder, the Norwegian government, at their AGM.
These are the very people who decide whether we avert climate catastrophe or keep throwing fuel on the crisis and let millions of people die. (pt. 2 in thread)
I'm looking forward to being the youngest member of @NextGenAmerica's Inaugural Gen10 cohort, where we'll be working to mobilize young voters! The youth vote has the power to make the change we need—so let's get out the vote!
NEWS: Today, we released our inaugural Gen10 list, featuring young diverse leaders, activists, and creatives who are empowering young people across the country and transforming the way our voices are represented nationwide!

This is the most concerning climate trend I've seen since starting activism.
So let's stop shaming activists and organizations for bringing attention to this crisis—and instead, focus on holding polluters accountable.

This statement will make history, @grantshapps. In a very, very bad way.
To the movement that I love: I am so incredibly sorry that we are taking this blow today.
I believe wholeheartedly that the death knell of the fossil fuel era continues sounding.
The Public Order Act will stop anarchist climate activists and others from putting lives at risk.
We’ve toughened up sentences for the guerrilla tactics of these groups and given the police the powers to just stop the chaos.
I don't know how to say this in a punchy, eloquent way... but the climate and environmentalist movements need to get very serious about creating alliances with labour movements and working-class political formations. And fast...
This text is the biggest Green New Deal win in US history:
The #BuildPublicRenewables Act, now in the NY State Budget
Through four years of organizing across the state by thousands of @DemSocialists, @publicpowerny and more.
A better world is possible. And we are building it.
Speechless finding out that we just WON #BUILDPUBLICRENEWABLES!! Shout out to all the organizers who fought tenaciously for years to make this a reality…it’s been an honor having been in the trenches with y’all. 🌹 🙏🏽
We are a brand-new, youth-run collective. We use disruptive, nonviolent direct action to resist fossil fuels. We stand for racial, economic and environmental justice.
We just BLOCKADED the White House Correspondents Dinner.
(1/8)
WHAT A DAY.
Hundreds of us blockaded the White House Correspondents Dinner in DC.
We disrupted the rich + powerful b/c Joe Biden’s approval of deadly new oil + gas projects is killing the planet.
We will continue to disrupt until we #EndFossilFuels. nitter.1d4.us/i/web/status/165…
