4 Billion Dead are creating spaces for community to form, where people can demand action and build collective resilience to face what's coming. This was after the first 4 Billion Dead in person meeting in Hackney. Hundreds more meetings are planned over the next few months.

There are no words. If global temperatures continue to rise at their current rate, we will face unimaginable horrors. Horrors that, as individuals and as society, we're not equipped to handle.

Because judges are employed by the State, and the State doesn’t want people of conscience who dissent against unjust laws to be acquitted. Blocking this principle from jurors, often with threat of prosecution, is corrupt and undemocratic. The jury decides, not the judge. 2/2
Traffic passes by the signholders in the first image described in this post.A second image of row of peaceful sign-holders sitting in the rain, opposite the Old Bailey Central Criminal Court in London. Their signs display the words “jurors have an absolute right to acquit a defendant according to their conscience” - words that replicate a 1670AD stone plaque inside the Old Bailey referencing the legal rights of jurors following the trial of two Quakers and subsequent implementation of the legal principle known as “jury equity”.

Jury Equity Centuries ago, this legal principle enshrined in law the absolute right of jurors to acquit (find not-guilty) a defendant according to their conscience. It’s proudly carved in stone inside the Old Bailey. Yet judges are lying to jurors about this right. Why? 1/2

I'm an admirer of George - on most issues. I found his enthusiasm for vat-grown pseudomeat a bit dicey, but recognise that many people are unwilling to give up even the taste of meat. Why can't he see that ANY kind of defending Zionism is encouraging Israel in its genocide?! And citing FREEDLAND?!🙄

Whatever you think of the motion the vast contempt for Palestinian voices, even on the left it has revealed,demonstrates how deep the ideology it highlights is and how successfully that ideology has dehumanised Palestinians in the eyes of many.

Important to emphasise as well, that this wasn't just dreamt up as a provocative playground politics exercise. It comes from a combined Palestinian and Jewish voice. Appreciate the concern about its portrayal and the current effect, but their voice is a valid as any other. bsky.app/profile/anns...

I don't believe Israel got to him, but I do believe this is more about him keeping his seat (see also his wishy washy trans position). His constituency is filled with narrow minded eejits - the sort that whinge if the national green party talk about anything that isn't green.
