BREAKING:
Colombia expels Israeli diplomats following Israel’s abduction of the Global Sumud Flotilla.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro also announces concrete steps in response to Israel's attack on Global Sumud Flotilla vessels.
Other countries must follow suit.
Enough is enough.

It is criminal what the US has done to its children through car culture. They go from supervised activity to car to supervised activity to car ... no wayfinding, no autonomy, no agency, no risk, no sense of adventure or surprise. We're raising helpless, emotionally fragile computer kids.

Tim and I have been reading & talking about BRICS over the last few weeks. What is this group of countries really about? Not so much an anti-western or an anti-dollar bloc; these days it’s more a “remaking of the material basis of a new sovereignty, in a new era of globalization.”

“The postwar order rested on three pillars: American hegemony, the fossil-fuel energy system, and an open, multilateral trading order. America has now attacked each pillar at the foundation of its hydrocarbon global order.” —

Where I Get My News
It's hard to find good sources. Here are my favorites.
It's increasingly hard to get good news, especially when you have a worldview that is not limited to the Global North.
So, in hopes of supporting good sources, I tracked where I get my news for a few weeks and wrote it up in a post

The report also lays out a clear blueprint to build fossil-free, resilient food systems. Link below!! ⤵️

How the politics of investability determine climate financing
Wall Street won’t rewild the planet. Or decarbonize mining. Or defossilize agriculture.
For @phenomenalworld.bsky.social I unpack why chasing investability harms climate goals in sectors beyond energy & transport - & what states can do with derisking failures www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/unb...
