Στρατός παράνομης Κατοχής χτίζει στρατόπεδο συγκέντρωσης για κάθε άνδρα, γυναίκα και παιδί των Κατεχόμενων και δηλώνει, ότι όσοι δεν εισέλθουν οικειοθελώς στο στρατόπεδο, θα ΕΞΟΝΤΩΘΟΥΝ.

[Forensic Architecture @ForensicArchi]

FA has documented a pattern of Israeli attacks on areas into which they have previously instructed civilians in Gaza to evacuate. Our research confirms that the Israeli military carried out multiple attacks in areas towards which civilians had been directed, either on the same day as the evacuation order, or on the day after.

It’s one boat against the world.

It’s 12 people doing more than 8 billion.

All eyes on the Freedom Flotilla.

"Complexity is the key to resilience" could apply to many more things than farming, from urban environments to human coexistence. It's what pluriversal is about, co-survivance by accepting difference.

[Sam Knowlton @samdknowlton]

Two decades ago, researchers started an experiment that would challenge the prevailing scientific understanding of plant communities.

While modern agriculture treats diversity as inefficient, the Jena Experiment proved the opposite: complexity is the key to resilience.

[Paweł Wargan @pawelwargan]

Colonialism and capitalism are inseparable. The instruments of the former enable the latter — clearing the land and exterminating its defenders to establish the conditions for accumulation, extraction, and ownership. It is no accident that the Zionist are already parading advertisements for the hellhole they want to build on the bones of the Palestinian people.

[Dr Charlie Gardner (also on the blue place) @CharlieJGardner]

Carbon capture instead of stopping oil & gas

EVs instead of reducing car dependency

Ocean cleanups instead of stopping plastic production

Planting trees instead of ending deforestation

Ever notice how all the fashionable 'solutions' are all aimed at not changing anything?

Drought latest: southeastern Europe now facing existential-level desertification.

Reports from Crete🇬🇷 the Peloponnese🇬🇷 Sicily🇮🇹 Morocco 🇲🇦 Libya 🇱🇾 and southern Spain 🇪🇸 that water is actually running out in reservoirs.

Cyprus is so desperate it is importing water from Greece in gas-guzzling tankers for its consumption ⛴🚢 ⛽️

Without water there is:

No food 🍐🍊🍅🍉🥭🥦🍒🌶

For #CleanAirDay here is a thread on Greece and #woodburning.

I am making a film about wildfires in Europe and I am now in Greece. I have interviewed a few local people about wood burning and I found out some interesting things I would like to share.

I cannot begin to describe the hellish nightmare the Palestinians in Gaza are going through tonight.

Every journalist, every person on ground, everyone with a voice, are saying they have never seen the likes of this night.

The Gaza Strip is quite literally getting annihilated.

[Tiberius @tiberiusfiles]

From “we didn’t bomb a hospital,” to bragging about murdering 400 people while destroying a hospital, in less than six months—this is the story of dehumanisation, the normalisation of war crimes, and how genocides happen

[Paweł Wargan @pawelwargan]

Petro is right.

Gaza is a warning. It is a dress-rehearsal for the violence that will come for all the world’s oppressed as the crises of imperialism grow in magnitude.

This is the historical tendency of capitalism in decay.

[Verso Books @VersoBooks]

"In Gaza you can witness what the end of the world will look like."

In December, Hudia, a refugee in Rafah, kept a diary of the horrors Israel has been visiting upon Gaza since October.

All eyes on Rafah.

If our leaders still have a shred of humanity left, they need to demand that Israel stops this massacre.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

BREAKING: Israel is now bombing a million civilians trapped in Rafah, the last place of refuge in Gaza.

This is the most violent and unprecedented bombardment of Rafah to date.

We’re witnessing a holocaust. Plain and simple.
