Indigenous Peoples protect 80% of global biodiversity & are key to #ClimateAction.

Yet they’re often excluded from decisions & funding affecting their own lands — while facing rising threats from environmental degradation.

Sunday is #IndigenousDay.

[Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins]

So that's a yes, you are against funding to things like the Iron Dome?

Abdul El-Sayed: "I am against it, in large part because I just don't understand why anybody thinks it's the right thing to do to send our tax dollars abroad, to fund foreign militaries when our own kids barely get to go to schools that are functional."

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

As of now, the number one challenge is Russian strikes. The United States knows exactly what we need and that this is not about something abstract. This is about protecting lives. These are real people, individual lives. Air defense support is needed, and that requires political decisions. In Europe too. In the G7 countries too.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

"I was just 13 years old when the United States dropped the first atomic bomb, on my city Hiroshima. I still vividly remember that morning."

Today marks the 81st anniversary of the atomic bombing of the city of Hiroshima, Japan. Setsuko Thurlow was one of the Japanese city's survivors. In 2017 she jointly accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo on behalf of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN). During the ceremony, she gave a harrowing and emotional account of the bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima.

Both ICAN and 2024 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Nihon Hidankyo work tirelessly to achieve a world without nuclear weapons.

Former Olympian David Hearn: "I don't think anyone likes being targeted or accused of things they didn't do. It's painful to be talked about, like, I'm some kind of scum or, you know, not a very nice person...Leaders don't do that."

[UN Women @UN_Women]

Women’s organizations are indispensable first responders in a crisis.

Yet, they are collapsing, due to the steepest annual decline in official development assistance on record.

Water levels on the Danube River, the second longest in Europe, have dropped so low because of drought that the hulks of dozens of World War II German battleships are emerging into view.

"When a military overreaches, someone always pays in blood. In Iran, the U.S. military has reached way, way out. The question now is how much blood it will cost."

EXCLUSIVE: US has used 'virtually all' of its long-range precision missiles during Iran war, sources say https://t.co/1rXWjY3i00 https://t.co/1rXWjY3i00

"The US military has exhausted nearly 80% of its interceptors for a key missile defense system as senior US military commanders are warning that the Pentagon’s munitions stockpile is 'dangerously low,' according to multiple sources familiar with the matter." https://t.co/hivvLvjxoY

Republicans have fully abdicated their congressional duty in service of the president's ego.

The chief of the Okanagan Indian Band says about 230 homes have been destroyed by a raging wildfire near Vernon, B.C.
Dan Wilson said 30 homes of band members and 200 non-band homes had been destroyed by the Bradley Creek fire, which evacuees said was fanned by powerful winds.

The Arctic is warming four times faster than anywhere else. Reindeer are starving. Sámi culture is at risk. For decades, Indigenous nations have demanded a real seat at the UN, not NGO status. Their land, culture, and climate are at stake.

If ever there was a moment not to integrate into the U.S. Air Force system, it is now. When your confidence in a country’s friendship begins to slide, it would be irresponsibly naïve to become dependent on it for military spare parts.

Analysis: President Trump is more unpopular than he has ever been, according to a series of polls of American voters ahead of the midterms.

Driving the low numbers are the state of the economy and Trump’s handling of the war in Iran, the polls found. https://t.co/sz5uUITLrj

[Rolling Stone @RollingStone]

Trump Is Really, Really Unpopular, New Polling Shows

The president's approval rating is in the low 30s, with Americans believing he isn't focused on what's important.
