Thank you @latimes opinion columnist @rabcarian.bsky.social "Bravo to all those engaged in the struggle against Trump's anti-democratic bullying " We need this message to ring loud & clear across the country.

#WorldBank's #LandConf2025 climate rhetoric masks a mining agenda that ignores #Indigenous resistance & tramples their right to say NO to exploitation of their lands. Latest from Our Take: www.oaklandinstitute.org/our-take/wor... @mittaloak.bsky.social @acurrier.bsky.social

Just a month ago the Tanzanian govt & the World Bank made promises to end ranger violence. But, the violence hasn’t stopped. Villagers are being killed, their cattle stolen, their lives destroyed. The WorldBank MUST take responsibility and act now. Every day of silence costs lives.

WB's land reform agenda faces 'climate-washing' allegations ahead of key conference - "The research suggests the real aim is to open lands for agribiz, mining of transition minerals & carbon credit schemes.” www.downtoearth.org.in/governance/w... @mittaloak.bsky.social

Columbia, Tufts, and Georgetown faculty will be hosting vigils Monday for those abducted by the Trump admin — Mahmoud Khalil, Badar Khan Suri, and Rumeysa Ozturk. Will gather every week until they’re free “If our Presidents and Boards won’t speak out to protect us, we will…”

If you want to defend Israel’s actions in Gaza, the sole topic of conversation is if it’s okay to forcibly purge an entire population from their historic homeland by systematically bombing, shooting and starving them while destroying their civilian infrastructure, solely because of their ethnicity.

World Bank is using climate action to push land reforms that prioritize corporate interests over local communities & environmental protection. downtoearth.org.in/governance/w... @oaklandinstitute.org @brettonwoodsproject.org @accountcounsel.bsky.social @forestpeoplesp.bsky.social

The #WorldBank's land agenda isn’t about #ClimateAction – it’s about corporate profit. Catering to agribusiness & extractive industries, it threatens land, food, & #climate justice worldwide. New report: www.oaklandinstitute.org/report/clima... @mittaloak.bsky.social @brettonwoodsproject.org

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.

NEW on how Mohsen Mahdawi was detained in a "trap." At a citizenship interview, he signed his pledge to “defend the Constitution." The official left to go “check” something. Said he'd be back. Then masked & armed agents came in, shackled Mahdawi, and tried to fly him 1000 miles away to Louisiana.

Another one of those clips where you have to pinch yourself. "America First" & "Waste Cutting" Donald Trump announces a *$1 trillion* military budget — right next to a man who, while receiving billions in US military aid, just killed a 14-year-old American.
