The system is shifting. Now we need democratic power to steer it.
Join us to organise for the next phase of transformation:

Assemblies. Strategy. Nonviolent revolution.
By the end of 2026, wind + solar will make up nearly HALF of China’s power capacity.
Solar alone is set to overtake coal for the first time.
The energy transition is happening. The question is: will politics catch up?

Same! It's shameful and sad.
Any excuse to travel long distance ...
... the most absolutely destructive endeavor any ordinary human can undertake.
This is what I mean by collective self-destruction dressed up as normal life.
I explore it fully in Suicide — why we know, and still carry on.

As ancient ice sheets melt, “last chance tourism” is booming.
Fly in to see the glaciers before they vanish — and help them vanish faster.
We burn fuel to witness collapse, then call it bucket-list travel.
This is the madness of the endgame.

Understanding WHY systems fail the most vulnerable is an important part of our new book, Suicide — part memoir, part radical legal & climate reckoning. A book for those who refuse to look away.

Families in Gaza — already bombed, already starving — now drowning in floodwater.
Tents submerged. Children freezing. This is what climate collapse looks like when it hits the most abandoned people on Earth.
No shelter. No escape. A preview of collapse.
Connecting climate collapse, legal failure & democratic breakdown into a radical call for action is an important part of our new book, Suicide — part memoir, part reckoning. A book for those who refuse to look away.

Peru: 15 dead in a helicopter crash mid-rescue. Father & son swept away. 5,500 homes destroyed. 700 districts in emergency.
El Niño — supercharged by climate change — is killing people NOW. While governments deny, delay and defund. How many more?
Aw thank you 🙏🏼
That death wish has a name — and Roger Hallam writes about it unflinchingly in Suicide. Part memoir, part reckoning. Read it. Then build the alternative → Revolution in the 21st Century 🌍 rev21.earth/product/suic...
95% of AI nuclear wargames end with a nuke deployed.
LLMs aren't intelligent. They don't hesitate, grieve or live with consequences.
Gamblers are betting on a nuke being dropped in Iran. We are seconds from apocalyptic midnight.

Our new book, Suicide asks what justice means when the harm is omnicide. We name this pattern — civilisational collapse dressed as a series of unfortunate events.

Millions in Somalia are inching toward famine. Drought and hunger are arriving together, as scientists warned. Yet aid is being cut as the crisis deepens.
These aren't statistics — they are people. Abandoned by a system that had every warning and chose profit anyway.

Bernardo Lopes Dutra was 11. The rain collapsed his house. His father buried him.
He is one of 46 dead in a city of 560,000 covered in mud.
Climate change worsened this. Political failure left them defenceless.
The same sentence, every continent, every week.
A horse mouthing my hand in a Dutch field.
First walk in days. Got nibbled on by a horse 🐴
My heart swings from the elation of a new Green MP in the UK to the horror of the bombings in Iran.
The world feels like a roller coaster, and inside, so do my migraines—but I’m getting better at finding peace with my disability 🧘🏼♂️
Agreed! It's finite, not to be speculated with by the global casino of finance.
Excellent.
Wow.
The Green Party aren't just in second place on 21%.
They are FIVE points ahead of Labour.
The Gorton and Denton by-election is convincing Labour voters the Greens aren't a wasted vote.
And they're just 2 points behind Reform!
System change isn’t just policy — it’s worldview.
If we rebuild our relationship with nature and each other, politics follows.

Let’s design a culture that protects life.
A Japanese study found 3 ways people value nature:
• Instrumental — what it gives us
• Intrinsic — its right to exist
• Relational — our living relationship with it
Relational values, rooted in culture and spirituality, most strongly shape care.
We don’t protect what we treat as a commodity.
This is exceptionally useful.
This is what system change looks like from the ground up.

Revolution in the 21st Century starts with organised people, not just panels.
Australia is showing some of what’s possible.
180,000 home batteries sold in just 6 months of 2025 — more than the previous 5 years combined.
Rooftop solar is now on almost 1 in 3 homes, generating 28.3 GW of decentralised clean power.
Energy democracy is real. Scale it everywhere. 🔋☀️
Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them
If our economic model requires destroying the systems that keep us alive, what do we call that?
In Suicide, I argue it’s civilisational self-destruction — and how we resist it.

150+ countries admit what we already know: endless GDP growth and sustainable biodiversity cannot coexist.
GDP growth = more extraction, more land use, more pollution.
Death by GDP is a choice. We need a Wellbeing Economy!

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
February was fucked.
Treason at the end of the world.
Elites are choosing collapse.
So I’m doing something about it.
How to start a revolution in 2026.
The future of non-violence.

Collapse accelerates. So must we.
