Several parts of Australia are likely to face the worst heatwaves since the 2019/2020 bushfires. Volunteers and underpaid frontline workers will step up to help communities. Meanwhile, in just one year, the Australian government gave $14.9 billion in subsidies to fossil fuel producers and users.

In Israel, your ID decides your life: Jews get rights, subsidies, and protection; Palestinians get racism, home demolitions, and exclusion. βItβs not complicated. Itβs painfully simple.β

Palestinians are the most surveilled people on Earth. Israel knew how many Gazans there were in 2023 and it knows how many are alive now. Whatever the current death toll in Gaza may be, and whatever it is by the time this hellshow ends, it cannot be hidden forever. Sanction Israel Now

"We urge all parties to support dialogue and diplomacy"? What kind of nonsense statement is this? The US just bombed them with no cause, kidnapped their president and his wife, and declared that they would be running the country in order to secure its oil for themselves.
