    In heat & flies at #leardblockade camp I hear #Whitehaven building coal rail line into forest it will gouge. Protesters are its mosquitos.

    I’ve met people at #leardblockade who helped save other forests. There’ll be a big hole where this one was, but good people keep trying.

    Why do people keep fighting when the cause is hopeless? And when they get no recognition/reward even if they succeed? #leardblockade
