White Christian nationalist and MAGA Trump supporter with anti-abortion hit list Vance Boelter decides killing is his way of showing how pro-life he is, and how much he loves Jesus. If he survives to trial we can probably expect a presidential pardon. abcnews.go.com/US/gov-walz-...

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

Greta Thunberg on why it’s essential for climate activists to speak out on Gaza: "The reason I am a climate activist is not because I want to protect trees. I'm a climate activist because I care about human, planetary well-being and those are extremely interlinked."

How much power does a watt have? It seems remarkable that a single watt can have enough power to amplify the devastating impacts of climate change for millions of Australians & indeed the rest of the world. www.abc.net.au/news/1053239...

As the UK and EU carve up fishing rights, I don't give a damn which party gets to trash our marine ecosystems by overexploiting fish populations, ripping up the seafloor and killing vast numbers of "non-target" animals. I just want this orgy of destruction to stop.

This is big. An Australian energy company has been forced to admit that there is no substitutability between fossil fuel CO2 emissions (average life in the atmosphere of c1,000 years) and the projects/credits offered for carbon offsetting, largely shorter lived nature based avoidance/removal of CO2.

With the Israeli government trading on their historical victim status they have set out now to be the abusers. In this moving song David Rovics sings about Israel’s use of mass starvation of children in Gaza, a war crime of mass murder being committed before our eyes, right now.

Being demoted for speaking out against the mass weaponised murder of civilians is a blaring bright red fire alarm. This isn't coming around the corner: the bad times are now. This isn't petty political games - this is a murderous and sinister force exercising its power. We are in danger.

How is this destruction legal?

There are things every one of us can do in our daily lives to help ensure free and fair elections — and, in doing so, limit Trump’s power. Some actions are small — so small that you might dismiss them as unimportant. Don’t. Every important journey begins with a single step.
