RT @carolecadwalla: 4/ Why does it matter? Because as @pevchikh says, the UK played a key role in facilitating what’s happening in Ukraine now. And London is still a central node in Putin’s empire of corruption. The “mass rapes & killings” are on our side of the ledger.

Dartmoor wild camping protest today. This generation’s fight for access to the land. Crowd of thousands in fine form. The moor in fine form: reminding us why this matters. We are the land.
Super news (and inevitable). Bye bye @Fastglobe. Hello @AtmosTotnes: affordable housing, developed by the community. https://twitter.com/AtmosTotnes/status/1616391757620559874
RT @RobGMacfarlane: So: wealthy landowner takes case to High Court to exclude wild camping from his 4000-acre bloodsporty Dartmoor estate. Wins case. Now *sells* the right to camp back to the taxpayer, on a reduced area. Sucks so much. A massive step back—and a stitch-up. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jan/19/dartmoor-national-park-to-pay-landowners-to-allow-wild-camping?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

RT @libertyhq: Gov’s #PublicOrderBill potentially criminalise anyone who takes to the streets for a cause they believe in, from racial justice campaigners to climate activists to grieving families looking for answers and justice Parliament must oppose it https://bylinetimes.com/2023/01/17/ministers-are-introducing-a-form-of-pre-crime-so-protesters-can-be-arrested-before-they-protest/
RT @BeespokeTours: @anthlawson1 Finished reading the Entangled Activist last night. I live on the edge of Dartmoor and was feeling into the “get the bastard” narrative in my head. Essential reading for all activists and non activists.
This is the colonial playbook: used in these lands by the ruling classes; used by Britain and other colonisers everywhere they colonised; used now, still, wherever investors and multinationals are making land grabs. https://twitter.com/GeorgeMonbiot/status/1614648175591129088

RT @GeorgeMonbiot: 1. The main justification for the lawsuit against wild camping on Dartmoor is that campers might damage the land. Dartmoor *is* in a terrible state. But it has nothing to do with camping. It’s because, as soon as nature starts to recover, the sheep farmers torch it.🧵
Lots of new followers today. Hello. A little thread to introduce myself properly. I help change-makers to get their shit together. My book The Entangled Activist is about how we can end up recreating the problems we’re fighting…
