And how world powers are ignoring or deliberately downplaying genocide in Sudan.

the thing that trans people ask of the world is so tiny, really. just to be able to exist as the person they are, without the rest of us being weird or cruel about it. it's a deep shame on our society that we are unable to deliver on so small a thing.

The International Court of Justice climate judgement was – in many ways – better than expected. Here are 11 takeaways about what ICJ judgement and what it means for the protection of the climate:

The Trump administration’s attempts to shirk climate obligations violate international law. Today's ICJ ruling makes clear that all countries, including the U.S., have a legal duty to cut emissions, provide support to other countries, and protect people from climate harm.

@oxfaminternational.bsky.social ICJ climate ruling a powerful tool to hold countries to account oxfam.org/node/25130 Proud to support young climate defenders who took their fight for justice from a classroom in Vanuatu to the world’s highest court. They won the world a tremendous victory today.
