““All governments have a job to do, but in particular it is time for major fossil fuel producers such as the US and Saudi Arabia, which produce 20-25% of fossil fuels globally, to stop playing politics and face the scientific reality. Right now they are looking at the fire, denying it exists and pouring more petrol on it, while their own citizens increasingly face searing heat, wildfires and other impacts.””
I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank.
The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.
In case you were wondering if Larry Ellison would use his partial ownership of TIKTok to shut down the exposure of his billionaire buddies and their weirdness, corruption and grifting … wonder no more. TikTok just shut down the media page of the world renowned, Oscar winning director Alex Gibney’s documentary film “MUSK”. The comprehensive documentary on all things Elon. It’s more f&@&’d then you can imagine. The best thing any of us can do now is to go see it! It will blow your mind. Billionaire broke mind virus. Hear it from the people who have known Elon over the years. #BrokeMindVirus

All your voting information in one place. Register, check registration, order mail in ballots and find your voting places. All here! Yay.
Meta and Zuckerberg tried to shut us down but they have nothing on this movement to fight for American Democracy. Vote to end the Trump nightmare.
“We are highly trained agents who should be working child exploitation and trafficking cases, instead we are being used as pawns in our administration’s games,” said the Homeland Security Investigations official, touching on a shift away from the ICE branch’s traditional areas of focus. “I think everything happening with the agency right now is related to the midterms and to stoke divisive fires.”
More Trump Fkry. Fascist overreach using ICE to go after political opponents. Ilan Omar’s raid should freak everyone out. Add this to Meta shutting down NoKings IG during their voter drive the other day and TikTok shutting down the Musk doc are the moves of a fascist Oligarchy working together to shut down descent. Vote Now!

“If you have a chemical and there’s no safe level of it, then why on earth would you allow it to be manufactured?…This all makes perfect sense if you understand the reality that the EPA is an arm of industry, especially under the Trump administration.”
Robert F Kennedy Jr, if he is actually trying to Make America Healthy Again could tackle this by himself by using the FDA to get thr PFAS chemical class out of our food and food containers. But he won’t. Because he is also captured by the chemical industry.

Saw this last week. Comprehensive documentary on the richest and one of the most powerful people in the world. You should know a little more about him than you do.
Knowledge is power. 💫 In MUSK, Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney delivers a jaw-dropping, informative, and yet endlessly entertaining "examination of the world's richest megalomaniac" (@IndieWire). Now playing in NY and LA. Nationwide Friday! #MuskMovie

BREAKING: @AOC just donated $1 million to help @AbdulElSayed win? Here's why...
Question last night to @neeratanden: "If a progressive candidate this year were to win a in a competitive race, like Abdul El Sayed in Michigan, would you consider that to be vindication of the electability of progressive politics?"
Neera's answer to @mehdirhasan: "If he wins, it absolutely vindicates that a candidate like him can win there." Boom. Let's win this thing!
It’s beyond sad. It’s beyond disappointing; at this point, it’s disqualifying for anyone with ambitions for higher office as a Democrat, or a Republican, for that matter, to be fighting to keep billionaires from being taxed while kids don’t have health insurance and the cost of living goes sky-high.
These billionaires are also the ones hellbent on replacing entire workforces with the AI they are developing with our tax dollars (watch the “Musk” doc). We are also living through the largest wealth gap in modern history. At this point, the only way to balance out the economic forces that have bought our politicians and keep rigging the game against working people is through taxes.
Let’s hope Gavin gets some sense and walks this back. It’s crazy that this is what he chooses to spend his political capital, and part of his legacy, doing. He vetoed the bill that would have put a “kill switch” on AI for our protection. He vetoed a bill that would have gotten forever chemicals out of cookware. Time and time again, he goes with corporate interests over the well-being of the people, even after his own bipartisan legislature votes for something.
And here we go again.
Gavin, we aren’t looking for the Democratic version of Trump. That was a good goof. Please try something else. It’s tired.
The people need a champion, man. A real, bona fide champion who isn’t just tough in tweets or press conferences, but tough when it comes to the real imbalances people are struggling with every day: billionaires vs. people and the planet.
It is so sad to see Gavin Newsom be the poster child to ban any new wealth tax on billionaires.
I received this text and it is going to all California voters.

Lesser known but equally egregious, dehumanizing seizure, torture and illegal deportation as Mahmoud Khalil. Lend a hand if you can.
Once again. Just like the Paramount Merger Gavin Newsom does what he always does. Sells out the working class people for the billionaires again and again. Not only that but endorses a bill that will make it impossible to tax the wealthy at all.

Wonderful to see Navi Pillay’s work recognized with the Nobel Peace Prize today. Her dedication to justice, human rights and accountability to those who commit unlawful acts and atrocities whether apartheid in South Africa or genocide in Gaza is inspiring and shows us the path to peace.
Breaking News: The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Navi Pillay for her efforts to ensure that war crimes and genocide are prosecuted. https://t.co/XTm2PKQxTS
Our new multimedia report and short film, “Busy Surviving: Women on Indonesia’s Nickel Frontier,” show how women on the frontlines of the nickel industry face serious, unequal harm to their health, livelihoods, and cultural traditions.
Their stories lay bare the human cost of nickel expansion: polluted water, dwindling fish, lost income, and the growing burden of caring for families amid environmental damage.

No matter how low Robert F Kennedy JR goes to lick Trump’s shoes it will never be low enough to Make America Healthy Again because he doesn’t know what he’s doing. He had a chance to get forever chemicals out of our food and water. Running the FDA he could have made it a mandate to get them out of our food. That would have forced it out of our water and he did neither. It’s all a grift.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
📅 One year ago today, we relaunched the Committee for the First Amendment – because the antidote to authoritarianism is organized resistance.

This merger will stifle creativity, weaken free speech, and cost people their jobs -- it is a bad deal for this country and should never have been approved. This is an incredibly disappointing outcome for the hundreds of thousands of us who stood up to block it, but it's also not the end. This grassroots movement isn't going to fade away and neither is our resolve. This was never about just one merger: this was about fighting back against corrupt oligarch billionaires trampling the interests of everyday people to line their own pockets. We're still in that fight. Join us.
