I can’t. I can’t keep waking up to news like this. Yes, this is a parent’s worst nightmare and my kids are under 3. No more prayers and I’m so tired to take action but cannot imagine what the families and the community are going through right now.
Three children spent this morning eating cereal, getting ready for school, and kissing their parents goodbye only to be killed in yet another mass shooting at an American elementary school.
PUNJAB: We are concerned about reports of mass arrests and restrictions on peaceful assemblies, taking place alongside online censorship and internet shutdowns. Certain districts continue to experience an internet shutdown today.
Make no mistake. The Internet bans in Punjab are a form of collective punishment by the state. They are punishing Sikhs primarily for Amritpal Singh, and this punishment will continue, mercilessly, until he's caught or killed. The same playbook from 1984 of genocide perpetrators.
Here are the big takeaways from the @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report released today.
First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.
Today, after yesterday's #IPCC report, everything is back to normal – as always. We continue to ignore the climate crisis as if nothing happened. Our societies are still in denial, and those in power go on with their never ending quests to maximise profits. We cannot afford this.
