“The test is not whether diplomats can craft better language in Antalya [in Turkey] next year, but whether farmers’ movements, Indigenous movements and climate movements can generate enough political pressure to make governments fear inaction more than they fear confronting corporate power.”

"Israel has damaged 145 cultural sites across Gaza since 7 October 2023." "For the people of Gaza, these cultural sites weren't just landmarks or of mere archaeological value – they were a collective memory, a livelihood and a heritage." #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Genocide #Military

Project 1933, a deep month by month dive into 1933 Nazi Germany and what we can learn from it in our current political nightmare, was among my favourite podcasts last year. Hats off @moiradonegan.bsky.social @adriandaub.bsky.social www.patreon.com/posts/147110...

Nicaragua’s Bosawás Reserve has lost over a third of its primary forest since 2000; 2024 alone saw 10% cleared. Outsiders are razing land for cattle pasture. Indigenous residents warn the deforestation threatens their way of life and has brought violence with the encroachment.

🚨🚨🚨 2025 finished in the top 10 for warmest year on record in the Contiguous U.S. (1895-present). For most of the areas from the Rocky Mountains westward, it was a top 5 warmest year. No areas had a historically cool year.

🔴 70% of all new births in Gaza are now premature, the UNFPA reported. 1 in 3 pregnancies is considered high-risk.

In the upside-down world we live in, a critic of genocide is sanctioned by a university for speaking the truth about universities when in fact it should be the university that faces sanction for such a heinous form of complicity.

Israel will not stop unless they are stopped

🎥 Israel says it will ban 37 humanitarian organizations operating in Gaza starting Jan. 1. “Is someone seriously claiming a Quaker organization is an Islamic militant front?” California-based American surgeon Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, who has volunteered multiple times in Gaza, said to Drop Site News...

Oh no! All the good ones are leaving us

#Genocide by #Israel.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is far from over. Today, the Israeli government announced that it would suspend the aid work of several humanitarian organizations that provide lifesaving aid to Palestinians in Gaza living through what Amnesty International and other groups labeled as a genocide.

🚨 UN aid workers who entered Sudan’s al-Fashir for the first time since the mass ethnic-cleansing violence that began on Oct. 26, following the city’s takeover by the Rapid Support Forces, say they found a city largely emptied of life. Only small numbers of civilians were seen sheltering in...

Israel is continuing to bomb, starve, torture and displace Palestinians, committing war crimes and crimes against humanity with total impunity in Palestine, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon. We cannot turn away or let our governments normalise these abuses.

Exxon has a new plan to sell more fossil fuels: stick carbon capture on massive gas-fired power plants for AI and brand them as climate friendly. Critics say that's a dangerous fiction. Thrilled to have @emorwee.bsky.social as my editor on this one! www.exxonknews.org/p/exxon-prom...

We're thrilled to announce that Nina Lakhani will be joining Drilled as senior global climate justice reporter in January, based in Mexico City. We've long admired her incredible ability to tell the human stories of the climate crisis and can't wait to collaborate!

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.

The human cost of Trump's gutting of USAID: By the time Tor Top’s mother was sick with cholera, the nearby clinic had been shuttered for weeks. He bundled her into a canoe & paddled toward the nearest hospital, 8 hours away. Less than halfway into the journey, his mother died. New, @propublica.org

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.
