Fantastic @ariellesamuel interview on science & activism with @trans_icon_mika . @ClimateHuman & I get press for chaining on, but this is often the easiest role - just stand there. The hardest & least celebrated roles are mobilization, art, aid & support 🌱

You don't have to be angry to be a climate activist

Anger and disruption may get the most media attention, but solutions and beauty-focused climate activism is just as important, argues artist and climate scientist Mika Tosca.

Today, my charges from an April 8 @DecEmergency action were dismissed. *Interesting* given how protestors from less privileged groups are often treated AND given the necessity defense pleas of my co-defendants @HonorTheEarth @migizi_will_fly @SRTurtleIsland @ScientistRebel1

We need to declare emergency, cancel global south debt, and end new leasing, for a start. As the single largest historical emitter of fossil fuels, we can help by accelerating the green transition in the US and abroad. Mobilize with us this fall @SRTurtleIsland @ScientistRebel1

The death toll in Pakistan continues to mount, passing 1,000 as of this morning. 33 million people have been displaced. More than 500,000 homes destroyed. Climate chaos isn't some future possibility, it is happening right now.

This was my sixth arrest protesting peacefully for climate justice. As of today, my record is still clean. I am employed. I have housing. I am healthy. The cis, white-passing, professional privilege is real. If you have power, use it. Our future depends on it. 4/4

Seeing these types of graphs always hurts me, but the average person doesn't seem to know or feel it. The purpose of nonviolence and activism is to force people to know and feel that which they'd rather ignore.

DON'T LOOK UP, LOOK DOWN to Antarctica. While we all have been looking at the North Atlantic sea temperatures this week, what's happening with sea ice in Antarctica is even more dramatic and well below anything ever recorded for this date during this period of record.

Scientists - accepting the status quo IS a political position. i.e., being "neutral" in the face of climate and ecological emergency is a stronger, more fucked up political position than the one I'm taking. H/t to @RebeccaSolnit for the conversation that fomented this rage tweet.

But there is a reason for that - being white makes it easier and safer to engage in higher risk activism. So I guess what I'm saying is: wealthy/healthy/white/male/cis/tenured profs - you could probably do a lot without ever being charged of a crime, or fired. 12/
