Fascism doesn’t rise by accident: it’s organised through capitalism, fear, and targeted wars on migrants, drugs, and people in poverty.

The Pirate Lord Donald Trump - The American Prospect All evidence suggests the president is directing the military to assassinate random civilians off the coast of South America, and thereby violating norms and laws that stretch back to before the founding of this country.

Trump has murdered at least 34 people in the Caribbean. The administration β€œ is selecting boats more or less at random, and intentionally killing people who could be captured.” From Ryan Cooper: trib.al/4pogGiw

Transition Security Project

While the US & Europe ramp up military spending, millions live in poverty.

Today, we launch Transition Security Project, investigating how militarisation makes us poorer and less safe amid climate crisis β€” and what genuine security could look like. 🧡

When I was a teenager there was a bus direct from my hometown in Germany to London - we had a British army base, and this direct bus connection was one of the benefits of that.

The destruction of the UAWC seed bank in Hebron is a deliberate attack on Palestinian food sovereignty and peasant resistance. This assault targets the right to land, life, and self-determination. Peasant seeds are seeds of resistance. Hold Israel accountable.

How reducing the US military budget would also reduce emissions New research shows that even with modest reductions in military funding, the United States would keep a whole lot of carbon out of the atmosphere.

Increased military emissions is one of the dangers of increased military spending, but the bigger concern as I explained to @grist.org is that an ever more militarised world is the opposite of climate justice. grist.org/climate/how-...

Article headline, "Zohran Mamdani is Proposing Green Abundance for the Many"

Mamdani's victory could be the biggest election win for climate populism since AOC beat Crowley in 2018.

With AOC, the Green New Deal promised good green jobs.

Mamdani's Green Abundance for the Many is all about making the good, green life affordable.

Climate politics have fundamentally changed.
