Last night an Israeli drone fired a missile at a flat where a family was asleep. The mum, dad & 6yr old daughter were all killed. A little boy survived Here in the UK you're sentenced as a terrorist if you destroy the drones that would otherwise go on to commit these atrocities.

OMG 🔥🔥🔥

it just seems odd that the endgame isn't "simply don't fund the military if it's being used to immiserate the entire world." if the government won't cooperate on that i guess the funding lapses

The world faces a food crisis, exacerbated by Covid, war and climate shocks. A new statement from experts calls for decisive action. Read it now: vist.ly/5b9fn

A huge plume of wildfire smoke covers parts of the Midwest and Northeast this afternoon. Unfortunately, more smoke is on the way.

Elevated CO₂ levels affect pollinators by reducing how much protein is in flower pollen and changing the chemical make-up of nectar, for example reduced sugar levels. This influences how pollinators develop and survive. @michalfilipiak.bsky.social theconversation.com/big-bees-hav...

135 scientist warn that the resilience of vital societal functions and food security are at stake if the EU fails to halt pollinator loss. The report (doi.org/10.5281/zeno...) blames the pollinator crisis on a dysfunctional relationship between humans and nature. www.brightsurf.com/news/LMJR7XE...

“If you can’t cook there are services” “If you can’t support yourself just tell them & get help” “If it were really that bad support would show up” This is internalized ableism. Most of the time, help isn’t available. Support doesn’t come. Disabled people are on their own.

Lovely to hear Barry Davies (as the Count’s ship’s computer) and there’s a particularly good bit involving the number of votes the Count got against Boris Johnson in 2019.

I also think it’s notable on the legal front that serious folks I’ve followed for decades have gone from sober if disappointed analysis to “this Supreme Court must be burned to the ground” - basically all of left legal scholarship is on board with expansion or reform at this point

Good Morning From The Drummer, My Friends.

The sister of Johan Sebastian Duran, the 26-year-old Colombian national fatally shot by an ICE agent during a traffic stop in Maine, demanded justice and answers.

A new Met Office report: "more extreme weather is becoming the normal now in our climate" Climate change is here. Where is the national conversation about the urgent need for adaptation in the years ahead? Instead what we get is politicians demanding billions more for bombs

In America today, the wealthiest 1% is now worth more than the entire American middle class. That never happened before.

I really, really, REALLY cannot wait for a city to take the next step and explicitly tell ICE, “We will not aid you, if we see you causing harm, we will treat you like any other person committing a crime, because your paperwork is civil, you are glorified process servers, not cops.” But good start.
