With deep sadness, we remember Catarina de Albuquerque, a pioneering human rights advocate who advanced water and sanitation as fundamental rights. Her legacy shapes global policy and lives worldwide. May her memory guide us in the pursuit of justice, dignity, and equality for all

A DHS spokesperson said that Debbie Brockman was placed under arrest for ‘assault on a federal law enforcement officer,’ claiming the WGN employee threw objects at the agent.

Debbie Brockman has worked for the local television station since 2011.

🥐Der Dünger der im Getreide steckt kommt unter anderem aus Russland.
🇪🇺Die EU sagt: Das füllt Putins Kriegskassen.
🇨🇭Ich habe recherchiert, welche Rolle dabei die Schweiz spielt und wieso Düngerimporte aus Russland indirekte Gasimporte sind.

Moments before being slammed to the ground, masked ICE agents took this woman's husband - no warrant, no explanation.
This is ICE: Assaulting a distraught woman, frightened by the disappearance of her husband, in front of her children and the cameras.

Nach ZDF-Moderator und Washintong-Büroleiter Elmar Theveßen trifft es nun auch @dunjahayali.de.
Sie selbst zieht sich jetzt für einige Tage aus dem öffentlichen Leben zurück, nachdem sie Morddrohungen und viele weitere Hassnachrichten erhielt.
Wofür? Seht selbst.

All political tribes can be hypocritical but the right's current level of hypocrisy on free speech is deliberate. It's an assertion of power not a blindspot.

Es könne keine Einheit mit der Linken geben, denn sie setze „das amerikanische Haus in Brand“. Nun werde hart gegen NGOs wie Soros Stiftung vorgegangen. Historische Vergleiche immer schwierig, aber das Attentat auf Kirk spielt in der Propaganda gerade eine ähnliche Rolle wie der Reichstagsbrand.

The Private Life of the ICJ Advisory Opinion on Climate Change
In a new blog post at @voelkerrechtsblog.org, I discuss the implications of the ICJ's Advisory Opinion for corporate climate accountability.
Though the Court doesn't say much explicitly, the key is to read between the lines.

It is a famine that we could have prevented, if we had been allowed. Yet food stacks up at borders because of systematic obstruction by Israel.”

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the Geneva Conventions. Journalists are protected unless they take a direct part in the hostilities. If a party to an armed conflict does not like the reporting, this does not make the reporting direct participation in hostilities.

Maybe universities should rethink their dependency on Microsoft, as well as enthusiasm for AI for educational purposes.

He helped Microsoft build AI to help the climate. Then Microsoft sold it to Big Oil.
A former Microsoft product manager reveals how the tech giant is using AI to help Big Oil drill—and how he and his partner are now pushing for change.
"Microsoft eventually released 'energy principles' for work with oil companies, but only required a public commitment to reach net zero by 2050. They didn't require oil companies to meet net zero goals. Notably, 4 years later, MS’s Responsible AI principles still don’t include environmental impact."

If I can sum up what just happened as neatly as possible: a Federal Court judge found the Australian government had ignored climate science when setting emissions targets, appeared to want to find for the applicants, but said his hands were tied by the law of negligence in Australia.
