Easter Sarnecki @easterise.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Flawed as democratic systems may be, they remain our strongest safeguard, however, only if WE collectively step up and give them a fighting chance. *RANT OVER* 🙇♀️ 010
Easter Sarnecki @easterise.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Democracy only works when people actively defend it. Mobilising and encouraging genuine political participation is no longer just an ideal; it is the only viable counterweight we have left. 110
Easter Sarnecki @easterise.bsky.social · 08/09/2026None of us want to be right about where this leads. My instinctive response is simply to wish these political forces away. But wishing will not dismantle them. Given their retreat seems so remarkably unlikely, the onus falls entirely on the rest of society to turn concern into meaningful action. 210
Easter Sarnecki @easterise.bsky.social · 08/09/2026A democratic disaster feels like an understatement. 110
Easter Sarnecki @easterise.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Agree. Whilst technically not "the" national election, the political shockwaves and the normalisation of extreme elements inevitably ripple right into federal politics. Those dismissing it on a technicality of population size feels less like rigorous context & more like head-in-the-sand complacency. 130

Easter Sarnecki @easterise.bsky.social · 23/01/2026This would be a "Let them eat cake" scenario for the modern age. As per usual, those already enduring hardship will be most utterly devastated, whilst the empowered elite remain insulated from the fallout. Regrettably, when the US regurgitates, the rest of the world are all forced to taste it. 010
Easter Sarnecki @easterise.bsky.social · 23/01/2026The reality is that banking institutions globally would face immediate insolvency, which explains the current hesitation. Whilst nations are clearly hedging their positions, it remains a precarious strategy; should the Federal Reserve falter, the global economy will suffer profoundly. 120
Easter Sarnecki @easterise.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Spot on. I could have composed a comprehensive dissertation on the cataclysmic implications of a global divestment from US Treasuries, were I not constrained by this rather parsimonious character limit 😉 110
Easter Sarnecki @easterise.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Think of it this way: If the world were to 'dump' their US treasuries, those who are already suffering (in the US) will be beyond devastation. Trump&Co have filled their pockets, they will not be affected, & quite frankly, do not care about those less fortunate. 'Let them eat cake' 112

At Ecofys, we were surprised: can't be, we'd ruin our climate. CO2 was at 350 ppm, global temperature at +0.6°C. Now, 38 years later, I read: first tipping point reached. 24715
