15 year old Abdul went to a GHF site to try and get food for his family. He was shot in the head.

Sheep or sitka deadzones.

The only current livelihood options open to farmers in Irish uplands.

It's time society gave them an alternative that works for nature, the climate, tourism, local communities, against downstream flooding, etc., etc...

Yet another example of how legacy media (Washington Post) covers a story versus how Democracy Docket does.

If you value independent, pro-democracy media, consider supporting Democracy Docket now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

Next month’s job numbers are the street you grew up on and the last thing you ate.

I am baffled by the Washington Post's sanitized framing of this story. The Supreme Court is clearly going to "rule on the law" -- that is what courts do! The news is that SCOTUS signaled that it might gut the VRA entirely.

Compare WaPo and Democracy Docket's headlines. Which source do you trust?

Trump claims the U.S. gave $60 million in Gaza aid. It’s $3 million so far. A State Department spokesperson said that the U.S. has given roughly $3 million to the Gaza food distribution program. Trump has claimed $60 million.

The State Department has allocated $30 million in U.S. food donations, half what Trump has claimed. But only 10 percent has been disbursed to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. wapo.st/3UF9AKq

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Court allows Trump to end union bargaining for federal workers A federal appeals court on Friday lifted a judge's order blocking U.S. President Donald Trump's administration from stripping hundreds of thousands of federal workers of the ability to engage in union bargaining with U.S. agencies.

Sad news. We lost our fight to retain collective bargaining for federal employees.

What's upsetting is that many federal employees voted for this, knowing he went after us during his 1st term.

Two can play that game.

🚨NEW OVERNIGHT: Big win for L.A. — a federal court just blocked Trump’s immigration raids across So. California.

The Ninth Circuit denied Trump’s attempt to restart warrantless sweeps that targeted people for speaking Spanish, having an accent, or just standing at a bus stop in Latino communities.

I've been thinking about this a lot over the past months. It is exactly what I would expect to be happening in the play of young Palestinians in Gaza. The trauma isn't just in the behaviour, but in the disrupted development. Speech & language delays will be symptomatic of much deeper disturbance.

The government official in charge of employment statistics, Erika McEntarfer, released data that job growth has stalled under Trump

Trump : "I fired her because I have created a bazillion squillion zillion jobs since I became the Greatest President in the World"

Confirmed by the Ministry of Truth

That Melanie Phillips is a lunatic conspiracist bigot and racist is not remotely shocking. But the fact that the Times continues to employ her should be.

a sarcastic Bernie Sanders: "Why not? When you get bad news, fire the guy who delivered the news. I think that's sensible policy."

Is wind power really a ‘con job’? Fact-checking Trump’s latest claims US President Donald Trump renewed his criticism of wind energy during a visit to Scotland, calling turbines ugly, costly, and harmful to wildlife.

#ResistanceEarth

Trump claims that wind power is the most expensive form of energy, turbines "rust and rot" in eight years, China makes all turbines, turbines kill birds and wind energy failed in Germany.

False, false, false, mostly false and false.

if i were a pro-trump financial type i might view the destruction of reliable government data with the kind of anger and apprehension that might lead me to reevaluate my politics, but then if i’m a financial guy throwing my weight behind strongman rule, i’m already too stupid to breathe

It Takes a Government Bondi and Bove are the chief villains—but they couldn’t have done it alone.

"Bondi and Bove are grotesque figures. But grotesques don’t gain power in healthy democracies. They flourish when institutions falter—when guardrails are removed, norms are shredded, and complicity becomes widespread."

We Finally Have An Idea Of How Many Federal Workers Trump Has Pushed Out Making employees miserable has helped the administration push them out the door through deferred resignation and early retirement programs.

Max Stier, the group’s president, told reporters on a call Thursday that the cuts have led to “phenomenal waste,” since the administration has pursued them willy-nilly and hurt critical government functions that will need to be fixed...

BREAKING: New Zealand government reverses ban to resume Oil & Gas exploration

Still playing catch up with Australia who opened up >46,000 square kilometres for offshore Oil & Gas exploration in August 2022

Quite simply, this is a crime against humanity.

It's unfortunate, but many Americans, for a multitude of reasons follow no news at all. Please share this off Bluesky, too.
We can't forget that there is no planet B.

Trump is doing the bidding of his billionaire fossil fuel donors.

We’re not obligated to fight fascism with our hands tied behind our backs

Bove is going to be the new Clarence Thomas, but worse (until he gets elevated): A petulant, vindictive asshole who is going to use the bench to make up for his moral emptiness and deep sense of inadequacy
