Oh dear. The New York Times clever headline about NATO is entirely based on them getting its name wrong 😐 The A doesn’t stand for America, dudes.

SCOOP: Proton Mail provided Swiss authorities with payment data that the FBI then used to determine who was allegedly behind an anonymous account affiliated with the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, according to a court record reviewed by 404 Media.

From gutting regulations, to axing research and infrastructure funding, to dismantling the country’s premier climate research center — #climate denial is at the center of Trump's government. So why are Democrats are "climate hushing" instead of pushing back?

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

'Fish levels'...

Progressive Greens win closely-watched election in one-time Labour stronghold, while right-wing Reform comes second.

"The ICJ’s 15 judges considered tens of thousands of pages of written submissions and two weeks of oral arguments during the court’s biggest-ever case, before delivering their verdict last year that states have a legal obligation to act on the 'existential threat' of climate change."

The US is pressuring other UN member states to reject a draft resolution by the island nation Vanuatu that supports a recent ruling by the International Court of Justice confirming that countries have a legal obligation to act on climate change. By @lyndalrowlands.bsky.social...

I very genuinely do not think that Australia's media industry can be classified as any other than fully supportive of police violence, because you have to actively, consciously and knowingly work to frame what happened as general "violence mars protests" rather than "police violently attack protest"

Had a fascinating chat with Richard Cooke about the cultural impact of Wikipedia on its 25th birthday. Richard wrote the brilliant essay on Wikipedia, "The Last, Best Place on the Internet":

Exxon is dropping law firm Paul Weiss, whose chair just resigned after his ties to Epstein were exposed, from representing the company in at least four climate lawsuits. The firm also cut a deal with the Trump administration last year: www.exxonknews.org/p/exxons-law...

It can be difficult sometimes to distinguish between social cohesion and common assault

And so, with Bad Bunny and the Puerto Rican electricity crisis, the climate disaster finally made it into the Super Bowl. This is the kind of image that might show up in a history timeline or even a textbook someday.

"These practices must end now." Aliya Rahman, a U.S. citizen who was dragged from a car by ICE agents in Minnesota, speaks out at a congressional hearing on DHS immigration enforcement tactics.

The EVs that are cleaning my air in Redondo Beach, California are the unsubsidized ebikes that make up 20+% of our peak hour traffic. If you see me on my ebike, wave (but don't honk). Give me space because I slow down to admire flowers, dogs and babies

I think fixing stuff rather than burying human and cow shit is a better climate solution.

I’m pleased to share my latest article in @uk.theconversation.com It asks what overheated apartments, flooded rice fields, & invisible policy failures have in common, & how preventable harm becomes the slow violence of necropolitics in the Chthulucene. Here's a short thread on some key points 🧵
