While govt is slashing support for disabled people to save £6.7 billion, a #WealthTax on just multi-millionaires and billionaires could raise £24 billion. Great to meet @patmillsuk.bsky.social and @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social to talk about a fairer tax system.

DONT SCROLL PAST THIS: Emerson Colindres grew up in Ohio. Graduated high school. Played soccer. Followed the rules.
So ICE showed up like kidnappers, ambushed him, and DEPORTED him.
No court order. No warning. Just a teenage boy dumped in Honduras—alone.
This is state violence.

The guy arresting you shouldn’t look like the guy in a ski mask robbing a liquor store. It’s why we’re advancing legislation to put a stop to secret police-style masked law enforcement.

A report on ending deforestation is now being used to justify more deforestation in Brazil. Industry will distort anything—studies, science, policy—to keep the extraction machine running. Collapse isn’t a bug. It’s the business model.

Israel can take out an Iranian commander 1000km away with a drone missile through a single bedroom wall, without any other damage.
But to target a Hamas leader a few kilometres away, they need to raze whole neighborhoods to the ground.
Is it obvious yet?

Great thread.
Our brittleness stems from past failures and new discontinuities extending deep into every natural system around us.
We're going to need millions of people working on forest health, wetlands restoration, fire management of the WUI, etc — and that work will go on for decades.

It's also likely irreversible.
Definitely here in the US, but it looks likely to be true in most places. National governments will not rescue you from risk, much less save everything — and may not even help very much at all.
Massive consequences.

Here's the first night of the (two-night) talk, where I rallied the citizenry of Seattle to build North America's first carbon neutral city by 2030—because "no other goal is good enough."
I was, unfortunately, right about that.

100% thanks for your work Alex. Much appreciated.
If we lived in a country that cared about its future, we'd be 10x-ing our climate preparations and disaster recovery budgets right now — and ramping them up another order of magnitude over the next decade.
Responding to the planetary crisis should be a core function of national governments now.
