Andrea Turkalo: Inhabitants of the developed world live far from the natural resource base & have no real idea how their consumption impacts the natural world.
Alon Mizrahi is an Arab-Jewish writer who left Israel over genocide in Gaza. According to Alon, Israel’s political elite & society are so infused with hatred of Arabs and have enjoyed impunity for so long that region cannot achieve a lasting just peace unless Israel is dismantled
UN Special Rapporteur @profbensaul in 2024: "Germany & the United States supply 99% of the weapons exported to Israel. They could stop this conflict overnight if they stopped the weapons that kill the Palestinians"

In first, California city overwhelmingly votes to permanently ban datacenters.
Concerns about negative environmental effects, public health, increasing utility prices, proximity to homes.
Data centres don't generate many jobs.
Will Britons follow suit?

Israel just carried out another horrific massacre in South Lebanon.
Dropping massive bombs near Jabal Amel Hospital in Tyre — wiping out 3 apartment blocks full of civilians.
People are still buried under the rubble.
This is an American-backed, American-funded genocide.

Keir Starmer promised that Labour would launch the biggest wave of insourcing in a generation. But like with everything else, he was lying.

This Labour MP lobbied the Home Office to ban political commentators from entering the UK, and Shabana Mahmood complied.
But did you know that David Taylor received money from Labour Together whilst they had an ex-IDF soldier on their board?
Here’s what the paper trail shows:🧵
South West Water's £1.8m fine is pathetic. 16,000 households affected. >500 people taken ill. 10 people hospitalised.
22 convictions for SWW since 2014. Why do we reward criminal activity with a 25 year licence & fines totalling 0.04% of the money they've extracted since privatisation?

Across Syria, families continue to live with the deadly legacy of conflict.
Explosive ordnance is threatening people travelling on roads, tending farmland and trying to rebuild their lives.
The UN and Humanitarian organizations are working to help communities recover safely.
Three quarters of UK workers not on track for moderate pension income.
Result of years of austerity, low wages, high cost of living.
Maximum state pension is less than 50% of minimum wage. Neoliberals want to end the triple-lock.
Poverty awaits millions
