Bruno Periera and Dom Philips were cruelly murdered for protecting the Amazon.
@BorisJohnson, you must stand up to Bolsonaro and the violence he has enabled and encouraged in the Amazon. #JusticeForDomAndBruno
Our hearts are with the families & friends of Dom & Bruno - murdered for protecting the Amazon.
The latest in a growing series of brutal attacks against Indigenous communities & their lands in Brazil.
Bolsonaro has given the green light for this violence.

Meanwhile I spent much of today being shouted at by angry Tories who think the transition away from fossil fuel should be *even slower* than it is.
If they wanted to do this slowly, the time to start was 20-30 years ago. We are now in a #ClimateEmergency and action cannot wait.
What scientists are projecting will happen to the Thwaites Glacier in the next three to five years should be front page news everywhere today.
Short thread.

Emma and Ben are both on hunger strike in UK prisons for 20 & 12 days respectively. @trussliz is today asking for political prisoners abroad to be released. There are some closer to home that could also be considered. They were only asking for warm homes

Last week I used a single transit card to speed through the earth and sail through the air and cross the Bosporus. Now, spoiled as I was, Glasgow's pricey, disjointed public transport system seems even more shameful.

Dumped building waste on walkway beside M77 in #Glasgow SW. This could be prevented by installing pillars at entrance ways to prevent vehicle access. @GlasgowCC

Is this just playing games with wooden dollars?
@SusaninLangside & @_dmcrcy need to come out with it & admit that Glasgow is underfunded, not just its libraries.
They have to publically take on @nicolasturgeon and @_kateforbes & fight for Glasgow.

With 111,475 signatures in the post to you, @RobertJenrick, demanding a public inquiry into the planned West Cumbria coal mine, what's your response? This affects all our futures, particularly young people - but where's their say in all this? @elijahmckenzee @slacctt
