A year ago, the Scottish Parliament voted for action. The Scottish Government is still failing to deliver it. Today, I again stand with the BDS movement outside the Scottish Parliament, demanding that the Government acts on the will of Parliament. 1/4

Apart from ruining the study of the night sky and the increased risk of the Kessler sydrome . . . The average Starlink satellite lasts about *five years*. Think of the impact of constant rocket launches, and countless tonnes of precious and toxic materials being left to burn up in the atmosphere.
Musk's SpaceX has announced plans to launch more than 1 million satellites by 2028 to serve as data centers powering the AI boom. Other projects would add hundreds of thousands more satellites that orbit Earth. This has devastating consequences for observers of the night sky. It's pure madness.
30 years ago, the ICJ issued a landmark advisory opinion on the legality of the threat or use of nuclear weapons. It followed a major civil society campaign involving millions of petition signatures from concerned citizens globally: https://www.icanw.org/icj-advisory-opinion #NuclearBan

Welcoming Refugees

"theft tech" is a term my pal @astra.bsky.social thought of just today when we were working on our book about these End Times Fascists. We were thinking about what should happen when this this bubble busts, as we all know it will. Remember: they have bunkers. We don't. 2/3
