Happy International Women's Day to all the queens who struggle everyday to make life better for their families, communities and the planet. They bomb our little girls, take our best leaders and try to silence our voices, but we never give up.

Israel has razed Gaza, target bombed hospitals and schools in Iran, and is now leveling Southern Lebanon all in "self defence".

Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: The Iran War and the Climate Emergency. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar. War makes climate change worse in many ways, and vice versa. The US-Israel attacks on Iran that began over the weekend have killed hundreds of civilians and sent oil prices soaring, but this war also ...

Happening in 30 minutes! Should be a very interesting conversation, esp with @ninalakhani.bsky.social there. (and no, no one is saying that emissions are more important than lives, that's a false dichotomy).

At least 10 people have died in ICE custody so far in 2026, from direct and structural violence including being denied basic medical care.

Sur fond vert, un portrait dessiné de Berta Cáceres, souriante. Détouré, le texte : Il y a dix ans jour pour jour, la leader autochtone et militante écologiste Berta Cáceres était assassinée en raison de son entêtement à défendre la communauté Lenca du Honduras contre un mégaprojet énergétique.   Comme dirigeante du Copinh Honduras, Berta Cáceres s’était fait de puissants, mais méprisables ennemis au sein des forces armées de ce pays, des groupes de narcotrafiquants, de la grande propriété terrienne et d’autres secteurs de l’économie extractiviste (de la mine au tourisme) jusqu’au système bancaire national et international.  Le faisceau des complicités  dans l’assassinat de celle qui  avait remporté le prix  Goldman et qui se savait  menacée est brillamment  exposé dans le travail de  la journaliste émérite  Nina Lakhani :  Qui a tué Berta Cáceres ?,  publié en France aux  Premiers matins de novembre  et au Canada aux  Éditions de la rue Dorion.

Il y a dix ans, la militante hondurienne Berta Cáceres tombait sous les balles d'un commando de tueurs commandités par de puissants intérêts.

These little girsl left home on Saturday to go to school and learn and play. May they rest in power. The US-Israeli genocidal war machine must be stopped

By me: Today marks 10 years since the assassination of Indigenous environmentalist Berta Cáceres, a rare leader whose death marked a before and after for many including me. Despite some justice, the extractive economic model and its criminal modus operandi continues apace.

Must-read: 10 years since Berta Caceres' murder

"To understand why Honduras remains among the deadliest places in the world for land rights & environmental defenders, it’s crucial to understand the context in which Cáceres lost her life."

Israel is using committing war crimes in Iran to justify committing more war crimes in Lebanon and Gaza. Classic genocidal settlers

A tremendous piece from the great @ninalakhani.bsky.social for @drilledmedia.bsky.social today, marking the 10-year anniversary of the assassination of Berta Cáceres: drilled.media/news/berta. (U.S. folks: huge, huge parallels to what's happening in the states now as well)

The mainstream media's complicity in normalising the massacre of children in Gaza are now doing the same in Iran. Shame on you all
