COUNTRY ANALYSIS: We have downgraded #Canada’s rating to "Highly insufficient". It has weakened policy ambition, implementation is slow; there's a widening gap between current emissions levels and its 2030 target. This despite 2025 seeing second worst wildfire season in history. bit.ly/CAT_CAN

Brazil, #COP30 host country, is engaged in an overall insufficient level of climate action to meet Paris Agreement goals. @climateactiontracker.org climateactiontracker.org/countries/br...

According to @climateactiontracker.org, not a single country in the world is engaged in sufficient climate action compatible with the Paris Agreement goal of keeping rising temperatures to 1.5C. So what they heck are they doing at #COP30? climateactiontracker.org/countries/

This is how British Columbia, in Canada, is killing its old-growth forests and contributing to climate crisis with the help of British transnational corporation Drax. For what? A subsidiary of Drax Group received hundreds of truckloads of whole logs for its biomass pellet sites. #COP30 @stand.earth

El país, anfitrión de la cumbre del clima de la ONU #COP30 que se celebra en Belém, puerta de entrada al bajo Amazonas, refuerza su apuesta por los combustibles fósiles al autorizar la búsqueda de crudo en el delta amazónico.

Ailton Krenak: “Explotar petróleo en la desembocadura del Amazonas nos lleva a la distopía, a un punto de no retorno”. El único indígena de la Academia Brasileña de las Letras alza la voz contra la #COP30 y considera que ha sido “secuestrada”. “El clima pasó a ser un mercado”, dice.

Just let this sink in: "Most recent ACA marketplace enrollees came from states that voted for Trump last year". www.cnn.com/2025/11/07/p...

'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.' Matthew 25:40 But Evangelical MAGA idol Trump is appealing a federal court's order requiring him to pay the full SNAP benefits for this month. This is as ugly and cruel as it gets."

This is one way, a very arduous, bold and festive way of fighting Fascism. www.democracynow.org/2025/11/5/zo...

Vengeance is not the law. It's what bullies, gansters, narcos, criminals, psychos and Trumpians do. Yet, "so it begins", the rise of the people, the rise of immigrants, against their lying, cheating and violent oppressors. And right now NYC has become the epicenter of hope & resistance. #Zohran

Zohran Mamdani: “New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and as of tonight, led by an immigrant. If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him.”

A total disgrace!

How Mark Carney's budget is following the Trumpian script.

Mark Carney's budget "spends 2 1/2 more money on the military than Conservatives allotted in their spring election platform, cuts a similar amount in gov programs than Conservatives campaigned on, and delivers 1/2 of the middle- and upper-income tax cut the Conservatives promised."

For the record.

How does House Speaker Mike Johnson understand basic, just basic commitment to justice and decency? Well, judge for yourself as he says: “Zohran Mamdani’s election cements the Democrat Party’s transformation to a radical, big-government socialist party.” If only that were true of all Democrats!

Zohran Mamdani wins. Big, beautiful defeat of Trumpism in New York! apnews.com/article/mamd...

Vor for #Zohran, vote for hope, vote for the future.

A war criminal is dead. He died without facing justice. Dick Cheney helped reshape the U.S. executive into an instrument of unchecked power, advancing corporate imperialism abroad and authoritarian expansion at home. The architects of the so-called “War on Terror” were never held accountable. 1/5

Mamdami should be careful with Obama. Obama's claim that he's impressed with his campaign and his offer to help Mamdani deliver on his agenda of affordability for NYC can easily translate into watered-down politics, more of the same but with the usual smiles. OJO! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/n...

Who says there are no kings in the USA? The throne just changed shape. Today, it’s the private insurance company, sovereign over life and death. Premiums for the “Affordable” Care Act rise again. People pay… or they die. #NoKings www.democracynow.org/2025/10/28/h...

"For 77 years, the Israelis are constantly assassinating any Palestinian that is willing to make a deal. And people around the world should be asking why." Brilliant interview with @jeremyscahill.com on @democracynow.org www.democracynow.org/2025/10/27/j...

Low empathy, NPD or worse? It's worse. It's to do with bullying, vindictiveness and real hate for working and poor people who rely on government help ("Democrat programs"). It's to do with revenge by an emotionally stunted psychopath who gets off on punishment. www.cnn.com/2025/10/24/p...

Israel makes these illegal, provocative and violent moves all the time and then they unleash a genocide on the occupied and captive Palestinians when they rise up in resistance. Warnings are far from enough. Israel must be kicked out of all occupied territories. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Nip it in the bud! The language of the extreme right and the politics of "restoration" must be contested everywhere and every time. One way to move forward in the 'north' is by extinguishing the Conservative Party once and for all. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

An absolutely shameful behaviour from the rest of Latin America and the world. Instead of closing ranks and saying "an attack on one is an attack on all" and unreservedly condemning Trump's criminal extrajudicial executions, they all remain quiet. Shame!!! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If someone in Canada (yes, Quebec included) is complaining that just one vote tipped a federal election under FPTP, they’re missing the point: that’s exactly how FPTP works: winner-take-all, margin often razor-thin. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Ever since Susan George wrote How the Other Half Dies (1976) and, in fact, long before that, the IMF has been in the business of stripping so-called “developing” countries of their dignity and sovereignty. It has always been less a lender than an enforcer for the global financial order.

Take a look at the extreme right-wing propaganda Telegram is pushing on people, extreme right-wing channels we're not remotely interested in subscribing to. Just b/c Paul Durov is a "Founder of Telegram" doesn't mean he gets to sneak his channel into our contacts and channels. 🤮😠
