"How could the government's oppressive surveillance miss a sprawling conspiracy involving thousands?"
The White House admitted in 2013 that despite ten years of operation, mass surveillance had never stopped even a single attack.
Looks like that record remains unbroken.
This Spanish City has been car free for more than 20 years. Air pollution is down by 61%, no traffic deaths since 2009.
We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate#climate#energy#renewables#carfree
When a former Mossad Director concurs that Israel is imposing Apartheid on the Palestinians, is there more to say other than "End Apartheid to Give Peace a Chance"? https://t.co/p6895CjqWJ
For decades, Narges Mohammadi has been a vocal advocate for women and girls in Iran. This @NobelPrize is a well-deserved recognition of her courage, and the hope that she represents—not only for the women in Iran, but for women fighting repression and violence around the world.
Israel is now flattening entire high-rise residential buildings in central Gaza that have ZERO security value!
These are called "power targets" & bombing them is aimed purely at terrorizing, intimidating & collectively punishing the Gazan population...
People often ask: What can I do?
The answer is not so difficult.
Learn how the world works.
Challenge the statements, actions and intentions of those who seek to control us behind the facades of democracy and monarchy.
Unite in common purpose and common principle to design, build, document, finance and defend.
Learn, challenge, act. Now.

Israel’s violent siege has turned Gaza into the largest open-air prison in the world.
For the past 16 years, Israel has subjected the Palestinians who live there to inhumane living conditions.
No human should have to live like that.
Netanyahu nurtured a zillion-dollar industry selling spying tools to despots that use them to break into the iPhones of critics, elected opponents, human rights lawyers, and even students (these are all real examples).
Turns out they're not very useful for spying on Hamas, tho. https://t.co/qwuVMCmmJZ
It must be emphasised that armed struggle by the Palestinian resistance against the occupier is legal under international law.
This is from UN General Assembly resolution 37/43 adopted in 1982. There is no ambiguity about it.
Israeli jets level the Palestine Tower, one of the largest buildings in Gaza.
The tower had more than 100 apartments, plus offices of media outlets.
A clear war crime.
I do of course understand the problem of anecdotal or limited evidence in assessing major trends.
But I was first told about man-made climate change in 1977, and since have seen developments unfold according to the predictions of its scientists.
Personally I have no doubt.
It is a historic scandal that Biden continues to pursue Assange for what are now plainly political reasons, and that major newspapers ignore it.
The FBI is now pressuring journalists into testilying against Wikileaks to prop up its flimsy case. Here's a quote from one of them:
Below is an analysis of how peaceful protest is under systematic attack in the US partly to try to silence the growing climate justice movement. https://t.co/MMzX8Lz6U5
Last time in London, an activist told me that Home Office leased hotel from which 76 child asylum seekers simply vanished is owned by Nicholas van Hoogstraten (if young, google him).
I couldn't stand it up. Unbelievable. But today Guardian linking his name. https://t.co/4YQDF37FZb
As the climate crisis engulfs the US with smoke and extreme heat kills millions around the globe, @Reuters is holding a major fossil fuel investment conference.
Patently unethical for a news agency to host an event for oil executives. ⤵️
