Greta Thunberg says she is being detained by Israel in cell infested with bedbugs Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

Sweden's Greta Thunberg is dehydrated, under-fed and being held in poor conditions ans subjected to intimidation by the Israelis after being illegally kidnapped in international waters - and her government is saying nothing.
As pathetic as they are spineless.

If the world leaders cannot stop a genocide, and instead prosecute humanitarian activists, can we hope they will act against climate change based on evidence? Or is the only way forward large-scale boycott and divestment to force their hands?

I need this. We all do. Not to forget, but to rest and be strong to fight climate change, apartheid, endless resource exploitation, green washing, misogyny, xenophobia, authoritarianism and other madnesses slowly burning our planet. Alternatives exist and we'll get them.

Affordable Social Housing with mostly Renewable Materials.
Just imagine the empowerment of the constuction workers and renters who would work on good things and profit from the transition. Imagine the impact this would have on conscious decisions in elections.

During the night, a new massacre struck western Gaza as Israeli warplanes bombed a residential area sheltering displaced families, leaving many children killed and injured.

Whatever you do, do something for Palestine this week - Jonathon Porritt Never Again was a vow after the Holocaust. In Gaza, famine, dehumanisation and mass killing prove it’s happening again. Never Again must mean now.

Earlier this week a paper dramatically reduced the realistic potential for forest carbon storage. Now another downgrades the capacity of geological storage. Emissions reductions are the only effective climate action.

Ghada Sasa

Last month, Israel destroyed Palestine's national seed bank. This is a settler colony that wants to annihilate not only Palestinians, but all Indigenous flora and fauna.
