Let this bring justice for these fishermen and let this be the wake up call the seafood industry desperately needs.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

I share this not because I think you need any more reasons to oppose #DeepSeaMining, but in case you could use a fresh example to share at your next dinner party (or chat w/ your elected officials). www.nature.com/articles/s41...

ICE out now! NYC showing how it’s done.

The Idaho prison guard who preyed on women — and the system that hid his ‘predatory’ conduct www.investigatewest.org/the-idaho-pr...

"we took the freedom of speech away" What I keep wondering about the flag-waving MAGA crowd is what part of "America" they love. Not the constitution, or the rights it enshrines. Not the melting pot or the Statue of Liberty, clearly. Not our national parks, or even our wildlife. What, then?

We cannot allow states to hide behind consensus as a reason to accept a weak #PlasticsTreaty or to allow negotiations to fail. Time for champions to get creative. #BreakFreeFromPlastic

The Montreal Protocol (which regulates HFCs) is a clear example of when govts listened to scientists (despite opposition from industry at the time) and very good things happened as a result. Enter Trump, as usual, to fart in the elevator and tell us it’s perfume.

The 8 months since Trump took office have been full of short-sighted, mean-spirited, and corrupt orders and threats. It's easy to miss the TACO moments, or that courts have been blocking him on a weekly basis. There is a big gap between his whims and our reality. You can be part of that gap.

Really enjoyed carrying through midtown Manhattan with this giant banner and a crew of great folks, as part of a much bigger march for climate justice. #MakePollutersPay

Important article on UNEP's leadership undermining the majority of the world's nations in securing a #PlasticsTreaty that fulfills the mandate. Consensus is not going to work, here. There is too much at stake to settle for what the US & Saudi Arabia will accept right now. medium.com/points-of-or...

"I don't care that he's dead." "He's not a hero." "He's a scumbag." "He shouldn't be celebrated." No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd. Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

The new #MAHA report ducks the tough questions, eg the thousands of unregulated chemicals in plastic packaging, many of which are known to be harmful and leach into our food. Until politicians are willing to stand up to corporations, we will continue to get sick and die from preventable causes.

People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC

NEW: We are suing to block the unlawful deployment of National Guard troops to DC. Armed soldiers should not be policing American citizens on American soil. The forced military occupation of the District of Columbia violates our local autonomy and basic freedoms. It must end.

Strong turnout and powerful speeches (eg from Reps Ayana Pressley and Glenn Ivey and five city council members) at the Free DC press conference this morning. We visited over 200 congressional offices demanding an end to the occupation of our city - before they come for yours.

🛑 Say NO to mining our vital oceans! NOAA is proposing new regulations that would fast-track seabed mining permits for U.S. companies — a reckless move that puts our deep sea at risk of corporate exploitation. engage.us.greenpeace.org/onlineaction...

And hopefully no one here still needs to hear it, but no, wind farms are not killing the whales, either.

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

Back in 1946, the KKK was trying to make a major comeback after World War II. Enter Superman — the Man of Steel exposed their secrets and took them down in his radio show. I asked Rick Bowers, author of Superman vs the Ku Klux Klan, what we can learn from this today buttondown.com/charliejane/...

The National Guard are meant to be deployed to respond to real emergencies like natural disasters and public health crises. Advancing President Trump's political agenda is not one of those emergencies — and the former vice chief of the National Guard Bureau agrees.

After a decade of protection, the Pacific Islands Heritage marine monument was opened to industrial fishing & closed again. New in @nature.com, scientists call for better understanding the impacts of these back-and-forth policies on marine life & communities: tinyurl.com/yc8n4mv6

Get out of our city, you sad fascist creeps.

Despite the support of most of the world's governments, no agreement on a #PlasticsTreaty was reached in Geneva. The only thing the US had to say in the end was to shut down input from civil society. Negotiations will continue, and the movement to #BreakFreeFromPlastic will continue to grow.

Five days into the last round of #plasticstreaty negotiations, @magnuslovold.bsky.social and I got together to discuss where we stand. Listen here 🎧 #INC52 on.soundcloud.com/E1eFAK5VLUZF...

Takes one to know one, I guess. But seriously, does Trump think DC wants or would ever allow him to “take over” our city, even if he wasn’t making up the rationale?

There are 234 petrochemical industry lobbyists in these plastics treaty negotiations. Polluters should not be allowed to write the rules. We've already had 70 years of self-regulation by the petrochem industry; we're here working on a treaty because that has had disastrous consequences for us all.

Greetings from Geneva!

Popular opinion: insisting on maintaining norms of business formal attire at a UN mtg in the summer is a form of climate denial. People are less likely to walk or bike if they can't dress comfortably, and venues must be air conditioned to suit(!) delegates wearing layers of clothing. #INC5.2 #UNEP

In 2018 alone, exposure to DEHP, a plastic-softening phthalate, killed more than 356,000 people, nearly all from plastic use. Cardiovascular disease is just one way that plastic kills us. DEHP is just one of thousands of known plastic chemicals of concern. #INC5.2 www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Congratulations to Luxembourg🇱🇺 for officially ratifying the #BBNJ Treaty, taking us closer to the goal of 60 ratifications needed for the Treaty to enter into force. Follow progress and urge more nations to join the #RaceForRatification. highseasalliance.org/treaty-ratif...

States that want a meaningful #PlasticsTreaty will have to use all the diplomatic tools at their disposal to bring the hold outs along. This isn't something that delegates in Geneva can solve on their own. It's time for presidents and prime ministers to step up and get to work. #BreakFreeFromPlastic

👀 If you could see #microplastics, you would see them EVERYWHERE. Microplastics have been found in 🌬️air, the 🍏food, 🫁 organs🩸blood. The only way to reduce microplastics is to cut plastic production. Watch & 🔁 to demand [world leaders/@your ministers] deliver a strong #PlasticsTreaty!

Our new OpEd in Foreign Policy, as ocean conservation battles heat up at the #ISA, the #PlasticsTreaty and #BBNJ. Trump’s brand of isolationism and exceptionalism will be outlasted by the multilateral agreements made in the coming months. foreignpolicy.com/2025/07/17/t...

ICE is out of control. This is not law enforcement. It is state violence.

🚨NEW: When ICE raided a Californian farm yesterday, they snatched & disappeared a disabled US veteran who was in his car. They smashed his window, peppered sprayed him & dragged him to the floor. Listen to his wife & sister here, distraught. No-one will tell them where he is. (🎥 ABC 7 News)

Current speaker from VC Defensa just dropped a full bag of spent tear gas canisters that were shot at demonstrators yesterday onto the pavement outside city hall here in Oxnard

With over 4000 chemicals of concern identified in plastics, it is painfully clear that plastics are a persistent danger to human health. Obviously we must ban dangerous chemicals, but to protect our health we need to reduce plastic production and use. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #PlasticsTreaty

As govts prepare for the conclusion(?!?) of #PlasticsTreaty negotiations next month, this paper on chemicals is important reading. Authors identified more than 4,200 chemicals of concern in plastics. Time to get toxics out of plastic packaging! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

40 years ago today, the #Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior was bombed by French secret service agents. Two blasts destroyed the ship and murdered onboard photographer, Fernando Pereira. #RW40 #nuclear #ship

"An absolute moral failure." Around one in three disabled people are on Medicaid. I spoke to disability advocates about how devastated they are that the House passed the budget bill that will slash close to a trillion from Medicaid at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It is encouraging to see so many people sharing their anger about the #BigUglyBill, but FFS, if you are going to wait until November 2026 or 2028 to do anything more than complain about it on social media, things are going to get much, much worse than this.

Revolutions have been launched over much smaller outrages than this #BigUglyBill. #HappyIndependenceDay!

On 10 July, it will be 40 years since the French secret service bombed the Rainbow Warrior, killing photographer Fernando Pereira The powerful still seek to repress protest and silence critics They have more weapons than bullets and bombs – defunding NGOs and tying them up in spurious legal fights

No one wants to be the world's dumping ground for our plastic waste. "policies are needed to help rein in plastic production" #INC5.2 #PlasticsTreaty www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/climate/plastic-recycling-malaysia-import-ban.html

Louisiana wants to define methane gas as "green" despite its well-known climate and health harms. It’s “pure Orwellian greenwashing,” said Tim Donaghy, research director of Greenpeace USA. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

“To proscribe as “terrorist” a non-violent direct action group such as Palestine Action threatens the fundamental rights of freedom of expression, and of peaceful protest.” — Juliet Stevenson www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
