At least 63 people have died in Spain after flash flooding smashed a large area in the south and east of the country. These disasters are only getting worse, and stopping the industries and systems driving climate collapse is the only rational response.

NEW: ‘A Cartography of Genocide’. Since October 2023, we have collected and analysed data related to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. Our findings indicate that Israel has systematically targeted all aspects of civilian life. https://t.co/UUxYqpTF72

The media is barely covering it but today in Valencia 95 human lives were snuffed out, extinguished brutally by profit-driven, planet-heating pollution and the catastrophic flooding that comes with it. Here is what we know so far.

What in the fuck. Or maybe we hold Big Oil responsible? I hate it here.

Scientists report that shooting 5 million tons of diamond dust into the stratosphere each year could cool the planet by 1.6ºC—enough to stave off the worst consequences of global warming. https://t.co/2WKEYdnrKA

Capitalism breaks our spirit by forcing us to claw our way through life as commodities. It pits us against one another. It rips away our humanity. It destroys empathy. It destroys our sense of community. It destroys families. It orders us to chase that next paycheck AT ALL COSTS.

BUT HOW WILL WE PAY FOR IT?!!!!

“20,000 missing children in Gaza — some maimed beyond recognition.

On top of the 17,000 killed in 12 months.

We call it genocide because it is genocide.”

BREAKING:

Israel is threatening to obliterate Baalbek in Lebanon—a city with 9,000 years of history, architectural marvels, and UNESCO World Heritage status.

Baalbek is older than most nations.

This is an assault on civilizational heritage that belongs to all humanity.

BREAKING:

In a United Nations vote, every country in the world has condemned the U.S. blockade on Cuba—except the United States and Israel, the two very same entities which are jointly carrying out a genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

[Yellow Dot Studios @weareyellowdot]

In the past week, scientists have warned us about AMOC collapse, that we're on course for a catastrophic 3°C of warming, and that the last time CO2 was this high, it WAS that hot and the ocean was 50' higher.

Our leaders could be taking action. Instead, it feels like...

[Climate Defiance @ClimateDefiance]

There is no easy way to talk about this. This week the UN announced we are on track to reach up to 3.1° Celsius of warming. We are slated to blow past the goals of the Paris Accords. Here's what this means. (1/9) 🧵

Automakers want to turn cars into a subscription service, making you pay monthly or annual subscription fees for key fobs, GPS, CarPlay and more.

These add-ins are estimated to become a $200 billion market.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Intentionally blocking aid, targeting humanitarian workers, and now banning UNRWA. All of Gaza is on the brink of famine.

The Israeli government is using starvation as a weapon of war. How much more evidence does the Biden-Harris administration need to stop these war crimes?

A trillion dollar company should thank workers with money, not the cheapest candy they can find. Amazon workers need, and deserve, a union.
