44 scientists have issued a stark warning about the threat of a major ocean circulation change, causing a detrimental disruption of climate patterns lasting for centuries to come. Check out this short video explaining what this is all about.

From Germany: Thank you, Francesca Albanese, for summarising it so well! "Human rights are good to be taught in school and universities, but don't dare you trying to exercise freedom of expression and freedom of assembly in your streets."

Indigenous Peoples, people of African descent, and local communities are guardians of our nature. Their traditional knowledge is a living library of biodiversity conservation. They must be protected. And they must be part of every biodiversity conversation. #COP16Colombia

The Bloomberg report shows that capital is massively shorting green energy. It's an actual catastrophe. Anyone who thinks capital will deliver on green transition needs a reality check. The game is up.

Every year, we perform 9.6 trillion hours of labour for the world economy. But the vast majority of this is controlled by capital and deployed to produce whatever is most profitable to capital. As a result we languish in conditions of mass deprivation and ecological breakdown.

I am so profoundly touched by this expression of support from Jewish organisations worldwide. The minions out there will be livid. Let's stay strong, altogether.

All the takes are correct and yet they also miss the point. Yes, it was insane for the Democrats to think they could win by running a soulless candidate, without a shred of progressive policy vision, pursuing endorsements from neocon war-hawks everybody hates, while arming and

Funny how a foreign lobbying group spending $100 million to influence 80% of the 469 seats up for reelection in 2024 doesn’t get labeled as “election interference,” “rigged elections,” or “foreign intervention.”

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.

2024 is on track to be the hottest year ever recorded. This year, we’ve suffered the hottest day, and the hottest seas, in the history books. The climate crisis is here. We can’t postpone protection. We must adapt – now.

Ursula von der Leyen has now expressed more outrage over racist hate-spewing Israeli football hooligans than over the Palestinian children whose deaths these hooligans were celebrating. History will remember this.

Western govts & docile press have stopped defending and promoting universal international law and human rights. It’s all about Western interests and utter racism based on new identity constructs. Arming both victim Ukraine (legitimate) and criminal Israel proves that. Big mistake
