I wish I could force every Israeli, every member of congress, every President around the world--especially Donald Trump--to watch this film that the BBC just banned. It's beyond devastating. Watch it. Share it. Stop this goddamn Israeli genocide. Free Palestine.

Who could have ever imagined this would not be worldwide no1 headline news. I’m genuinely lost for words. We are breaking.

Humans are exterminating life on Earth. We’re wiping out species at a rate of 10,000 to 100,000 annually.

We need to do better. Protect nature.

It finally happened, breaking 5 sigma, the same statistical threshold physicists used to prove the existence of the Higgs boson.

At 2,700,000 km² below the 1991-2020 mean, Antarctic sea ice extent was 5.14σ below the mean, roughly a 1-in-7,400,000 chance.

not enough attendees

finding interesting ways to repurpose the spaces:

55 million+ people across the US under air quality alerts.
9 million acres charred by wildfires in Canada this year — 15x normal.
400+ fires still burning across Canada.

This is what the climate crisis looks like. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

BREAKING: In a huge blow to the rule of law, the US Supreme Court today let stand Chevron's prosecution and 3-year detention of me after helping Indigenous peoples win the historic Amazon pollution case.

Gorsuch dissented: "Our Constitution does not tolerate what happened here."

A Bottle of water can be .50 cents at a supermarket. $2 at the gym. $3 at the movies and $6 on a plane. Same water. Only thing that changed its value was the place..So the next time you feel your worth is nothing, maybe you’re at the wrong place💯

Between 1996 and 2021, the average public school teacher’s weekly wages rose a minuscule $29 when adjusted for inflation.

$29.

Is there a “teacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the dignity and pay they deserve?

Today would have been George Harrison's 80th birthday, and I'm reminded of a moment from my youth—when I was visiting a high school classmate at her home. Her mother kept insisting that George Harrison had been hanging out across the street.

This seemed like the most absurd story. Why would a Beatle come anywhere near our working class neighborhood (Hawthorne, California). I laughed at the mom's tall tale. "Sure," I replied. "George is across the street—and maybe Ringo is hiding in your garage."

Then a short while later Harrison married a young lady from Hawthorne named Olivia Trinidad Arias. Olivia had gone to my high school exactly 10 years before me. So I found out it was all true—George had been in town to visit his future wife's family. A Beatle actually had been hanging out across the street.

There is a monster leak of Arctic air heading towards the whole of North America. Many places will experience -20C. These leaks are becoming more frequent as the jet stream weakens. This is a new climate. The stability of the Holocene is over.

BREAKING: Just learned from a trusted source that Chevron paid @Google for over 9,000 false and defamatory ads targeting me for my work in helping Amazon peoples win a historic pollution case against the company. This is a damn outrage.

Google must ban @Chevron's misinformation.
