🚨 TODAY: Activists from Cut The Ties To Fossil Fuels occupied the headquarters of Federate Hermes because apparently “net zero” means something very different when your profits depend on oil pipelines. ✂️ ✂️ ✂️ 🛢 🛢 🛢 We decorated the windows with oily money and “DROP EACOP”.

This is also what Yvette Cooper, when she was UK Home Secretary, said about #PalestineAction. If you knew the secret stuff I know, you'd agree with me that they're terrorists. It's the cheapest and basest way for a politician to malign someone, and a clear sign of a flailing, undemocratic state.
