Biden has apparently brokered a 5-day ceasefire, a release of hostages, and the delivery of aid to Gaza.https://wapo.st/47XGmLF

If you're not worried about the accelerating trend in extreme climate events, it's because the media aren't reporting them.October temperatures were off the charts bad.#climate #ClimateExtremes

Apparently Musk believes advertisers have an obligation to buy ads on Xhitter, that he's ENTITLED to their money, and hence, if they choose not to advertise, they're "blackmailing" him, rather than, say, expressing a desire not to be economically associated with a racist, antisemitic, nutjob.

How undemocratic was Kissinger? Here's one example:He chaired the committee that oversaw CIA operations to undermine the Allende government in Chile and wrote: “I don’t see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves.”https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/nov/30/henry-kissinger-chile-argentina-south-america

And there's this:"Kissinger was a man “whose historical brilliance was never able to conceal his profound moral wretchedness”, wrote Juan Gabriel Valdés, Chile’s ambassador in the US."

For those who work on water, this is very sad news. Malin Falkenmark was a mentor, inspiration, and dear friend, and the water world is poorer for her passing away.She pioneered the concepts of blue, green and gray water. She define water scarcity in the context of population. And her use of transparencies was the stuff of legend.https://siwi.org/latest/thank-you-malin-falkenmark/

Look, the Biden administration has done, and will do, things I absolutely disagree with.But there is nothing I can imagine them doing that would get me to either not vote or vote for the fascist, corrupt, traitorous party. The stakes are too high.

Bezos and Musk have it deeply wrong.The problem isn't that we need a trillion people to have more Einsteins or Mozarts.The problem is we don't nurture and protect the ones we have.Stephen Jay Gould wrote: "I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops".

If there's any lesson to be learned from the unfolding #climate disaster and 28 COP failures, it's that as long as governments cede power to corporations and billionaires, and as long as those corporations and billionaires make money from ecological destruction, then ecological destruction is what we get.

I don't know why every media outlet isn't calling out the absolute insanity of Trump's posts. Any other public figure saying these things would be instantly vilified and disqualified from any public position.

I've read the case filed by South Africa in the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocide. Have you?No matter whether you think Israel's actions rise to the level of genocide or not, the facts and evidence in the filing are chilling and deserve international review and response.https://www.icj-cij.org/case/192

Remember when Trump said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose a voter?Now his lawyers are arguing he can order the hit on a political rival from the White House and would be immune from criminal prosecution.
