The Israeli occupation of the West Bank is expanding, in violation of international law and to the indifference of the administration.

I'm so proud to have this piece in @thenation.com. It's by journalist Mohammed Mhawish, and it's about what happened when he fled Gaza with his family. I know there's a lot going on in the news, but please, please read this. You need to know what Israel is doing. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

A country where a minority of voters can elect a president with king-like authority and impunity and federal agencies that lack the power to do any of the things they are meant to do if big rich companies say they don't like it. Culmination shit for the right wing project.

Well done Dorset Council (UK)! Buying a dairy farm for reforesting or rewilding is the way to go! It will cut down on water pollution, air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and other climate impacts, biodiversity loss, water use - & improve human health! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Biden is the physical manifestation of the incapacity of the old, liberal order, as it confronts a reinvigorated extreme right. Mumbling liberalism was never going to be enough. Without a radical, uplifting left politics, we stand to lose everything.

We analyzed more than 100 breaking news stories about recent record-breaking heat and rainfall in the U.S. Less than half mentioned climate change. Only 11 percent mentioned fossil fuels, or other pollution sources.
The media is still falling short on climateheated.world HEATED analyzed 133 breaking news stories about recent climate-fueled weather in the United States. The results were dismal—but there were some bright spots.

The Government of Denmark had just agreed to a tax on livestock emissions. €40 in 2030, rising to €100 in 2035. Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen says: "We will be the first country in the world with a CO2 tax on agriculture.” Looks like New Zealand is now distinctly behind in that race.
