We stopped allowing tobacco companies to promote their lethal product. Yet high-carbon industries use similar tactics to keep us locked into fossil fuels - harming our health and leading to millions of premature deaths every year. static1.squarespace.com/static/5ebd0...

Don't get left in the dark... This is your reminder that once we know the truth, we can't unsee it. 9 out of 10 people want to act when they understand what is at stake. Choosing to travel differently is one simple, powerful way to show up. You don't need to fly to see the world. 🌎💚

When you clear a forest in the Congo Basin, you don't just cut wood. You wipe out gorillas, forest elephants, pangolins, and thousands of species we haven't even named yet. Extinction is not development.

They call it development. But development doesn't trigger droughts, starve farmers, and drive gorillas to extinction. That's ecocide. #CongoBasin

Then that needs to be urgently addressed by the party. With modern technology there’s absolutely NO excuse for not opening up these motions to the full membership. Not everyone can get to party conferences. That shouldn’t preclude them from voting on conference motions! @zackpolanski.bsky.social

As a Jewish life member. To me your new policy honours war and armed struggle against a sovereign state. Disgusting entryism and take over of the policy process by a tiny single issue cadre who applaud the 07 Oct massacre. bsky.app/profile/adam...

50% of modern medicines come from plants. 70% of cancer treatments come from nature. The Amazon holds 10% of all life on Earth. We've studied <1% of it for medicine. We are cutting down cures faster than we can discover them. Every forest cleared = A cure lost.

Your party conference just destroyed any chance you had of winning. Millions of us want the Greens to do well in elections. The way you are going right now will ensure that you fail all of us who have supported you. Get a grip and get rid of the stupid resolution before it's too late.

At 4 a.m. today, Israeli forces raided a five-story building in Al-Tur, East Jerusalem, forced Palestinian families out with barely anything in their hands, and demolished 10 apartments — leaving around 70 Palestinians without their homes.

“Zionism is racism” is not a policy but a slogan. It compresses a complex history, going back millennia, and a very wide set of beliefs into one narrow meaning. The answer to genocide is not discrimination. We don't fight racism with racism. I’m gutted to see this motion adopted by the Green Party.

The Green Party descends into disgrace
As expected, the Green Party has today passed its motion declaring Zionism to be racism, and calling for Israel to be replaced by a single state of Palestine.

As part of the "Zionism is Racism" motion which the Green party will be voting on at conference, there is a specific section which says that members of the Green Party who are members of 'Zionist Synagogues' should be kicked out. Efforts to amend this language were rejected at a "party workshop".

Arrogance is believing we can endlessly take without giving back. Arrogance is thinking technological cleverness will always save us from ecological collapse. Arrogance is assuming nature is a foe to be battled,rather than the very system that gives us life.

The scale of deforestation in the Congo Basin is staggering. It is estimated that an area larger than the size of Germany has been cleared in the past two decades alone. This rapid loss of forest cover has far-reaching consequences for the global climate and biodiversity.

Ruth Muskrat Bronson: Cherokee poet, author & Indigenous rights activist. + 1st guidance officer, Bureau of Indian Affairs + Exec. secretary, Nat'l Congress of American Indians + Structurally established early educational resources & legal defenses for #indigenous communities Born #OTD in 1897.
Black-and-white portrait of Ruth Muskrat Bronson (1897–1982), an influential Cherokee Nation poet, educator, and Indigenous rights activist. Taken around December 1923, when she famously presented an educational reform appeal to President Calvin Coolidge, this image carries immense historical significance for Native American self-determination. She is centered against a dark, plain studio background that draws absolute focus onto her striking presence. Bronson faces forward, looking directly into the camera lens with a calm, dignified, and unwavering gaze. Her serene yet resolute expression projects a sense of inner strength and authority. Her dark hair is woven into two long, thick braids that drape symmetrically down the front of both shoulders. She wears a traditional patterned buckskin garment featuring intricate geometric designs along the chest, sleeves, and neckline, complete with layered fringe running down her arms. Tied horizontally across her forehead is a woven, light-colored headband accented with dark, bold diamond motifs. The overall mood of the portrait is formal, respectful, and intensely focused, immortalizing Bronson as a powerful institutional champion.

That's the title of the motion. To comment with any authority you would need to read it all. As I understand it, it calla for a single Palestinian state in the region. No Israel.
