For only the second time in our 179-year history, the editors of Scientific American are endorsing a candidate for president. That person is Kamala Harris. | Editorial bit.ly/4daH36q

In 1974, the UN General Assembly suspended South Africa for the crime of apartheid. This year, the General Assembly must apply the same punishment to Israel.

It is important to understand that the violence Israel is inflicting across the region is US policy. All the hand-wringing from Biden and Harris, the discourse about "ceasefires" and "too many innocent lives lost", is just theatre to diffuse your anger and buy them more time.

Why don't we discuss the fact that Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos & Larry Ellison own more wealth than the bottom HALF of Americans? Part of the answer is that the people who own the media are doing phenomenally well. They aren't interested in highlighting massive levels of inequality.

Great to see some honesty surfacing at last… As I’ve been saying for the last three years, the CoP process is not fit for purpose. Moreover, I’d add that it’s really hard to see any way back for it now. The (corruption and) failure appear systemic. bbc.com/news/articles/…

At #COP29Baku our COP Reform letter has been completely ripped out of context. It is to strengthen COP not weaken it. We say - lets celebrate (almost 10 yrs after Paris) that we have a framework to solve the problem. Not perfect, but good enough for accountability and delivery.
