Scientists called 2023 ocean temperature records ‘terrifying’ and ‘bonkers.’ We just broke them. Worse than they thought. And yet the government is failing to get to grips with the climate crisis and considering major new oil drilling. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Black text on white page that reads: 

Last night, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza in international waters off the coast of Greece — unlawfully detaining more than 175 people, including several New Yorkers.

My team has been in direct contact with State and Federal partners as we work to confirm the whereabouts and conditions of these New Yorkers.

This is a brazen violation of international law.
Those detained must be released.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

I simply think that no American President and in fact no human being at all should ever have the capacity to destroy civilization and it is sheer madness that we exist in a world where this is possible even when that isn’t foremost in our minds and headlines

🚨 Gaza Civil Defense warns of catastrophic storm impact

A new polar storm is approaching Gaza and the consequences will be catastrophic, warned Mahmoud Basal, a spokesperson for Gaza Civil Defense. He said more than 1.5 million people remain trapped in tents that offer no protection from flooding, collapse, or extreme cold.

🚨“A new polar storm is approaching Gaza, and what lies ahead will be catastrophic,” warns Mahmoud Basal, Palestinian Civil Defense spokesperson, as more than 1.5 million people remain trapped inside tents that offer no protection from flooding or collapse. 

The disaster is not caused by weather alone, but by the Israeli occupation, backed by the United States and international mediators, continuing to block the entry of shelters, caravans, and sustainable construction materials, leaving civilians exposed with no alternatives. 

Basal stressed that repeated warnings were ignored, -and that without immediate action to lift the blockade and allow real shelter into Gaza, the coming days will bring preventable deaths.

I’ll say this for Sir Keir’s Labour: they have been wonderfully revealing on what the actual limits of democracy are in Britain: it’s Thatcherism wearing a variety of different hats at home, and whatever America wants abroad. Don’t like it? Fuck you, we are not debating whether this is good or not.

The Venn diagram of men engaged in financial misconduct (from tax evasion to reckless speculation with public money) and men engaged in sexual misconduct (from sexually harassing female colleagues to rape and pedophilia) is amazingly close to being a single giant circle. Offshore facilitates both.

In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019. Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts. 1/5

BREAKING: One of the most important and prominent reporters on the ground in Gaza has been Anas Al Sharif. He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza. Speechless.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

Israel is using Microsoft Azure to store recordings of every phone call made by Palestinians in the occupied territories, then using AI to analyze the contents and select targets. Microsoft is (dubiously) claiming ignorance.
