Jane Goodall was a hero who used her life to make the world a better place. If the world uplifted and amplified people like her over fascists and billionaires, the world would be a very different place. #3E

‘I escaped a Russian prison — only to end up in an American jail’ Dozens of Russian dissidents have been expelled from the US and forcibly returned to Russia with the co-operation of immigration authorities

BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.

MOVE THE UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO GENEVA

It was moved in 1988 when US denied a visa to Yasser Arafat

Today, little SecRubio did the bidding of his Israeli bosses & denied visas to the Palestinian Authority to attend the UNGA

Why? Western countries plan to recognize Palestine

There’s a persistent myth that new solar farms don’t really help tackle climate change because panels are “made with coal” and “never pay back” their carbon debt.

This is simply false.

- UN: solar ~8x cleaner than gas, ~19x than coal per kWh
- panels repay CO2 in 4 months; save 57x over life

Trump, With Tariffs and Threats, Tries to Strong-Arm Nations to Retreat on Climate Goals

If I had said, in 2005, that 20 years later the Republican Party would be even *more* systematically opposed, not only to domestic action on climate change, but to action on climate change anywhere in the world, I would have been dismissed as a hysterical partisan.
