My partner recently learned of the true scale of death and destruction we're speeding towards and has been spiraling. I said this:

Babe, I'd stop getting bogged down in all the myriad ways we're screwed. Now is about accepting it and fighting till the end (whether that be direct action or creating our own community while we can)

It's crazy that most economists seem to forget that without food, there will be no economy

You make it yourself or trust the people you source it from, same way it's always been

Luckily the Four Thieves Vinegar collective (an anarchist group who promote the right to repair - for your body) have our backs: https://fourthievesvinegar.org/abortion-care

The climate will not support the level of human life we have currently by the end of my life, let me give myself cancer or fix that bigger problem

My finger hurts from all the sign tapping

If you didn't make it, how the fuck can it be stolen from you?

Some heavy hitters here

You could say that for everyone pushing for an encryption ban. If they use whatsapp, encryption, if they use https websites, encryption. Banning encryption is nigh impossible, it's like trying to ban prime numbers. What they'll actually do is get even easier backdoors and criminalise the masses that use it while still using it themselves.

The reason they stopped directly targeting oil infrastructure in the UK is because the oil/gas giants bought injunctions (private laws) banning protest near them, leading to people going to prison for holding signs on a grass verge outside an oil refinery.

Yeah it's super super repressive. I was held in custody (think solitary confinement) for 54 hours for a 10 minute march around parliament square another time. I'm also currently banned from London so can't join the protests for Palestine happening there. I have friends who were put on GPS tags and not allowed to leave their home for similar marches. One other friend had their GPS tag set up wrong so police turned up and told her she was breaking her bail conditions by going in her bathroom because that's outside the zone the police set for her 🙃

There's no legal recourse, who am I going to complain to, the police? Lots of what they're doing is illegal under their own laws and, more often, international law. But laws are nothing if they aren't enforced.
