YouTube video by Centre for Climate Justice Introduction Sketching Fascism’s Long Arc with Naomi Klein

Watch @naomiaklein.bsky.social open the Long Arc of Fascism teach-in by challenging the conventional, narrow understanding of fascism, particularly the idea that it is a uniquely European phenomenon that began in the 1920s or ’30s and was defeated in 1945.

An important update from Francesca Albanese, special UN Rapporteur on Palestine.

The flotilla fully complies with International Law. Any attempt to violate the flotilla’s mission is a violation of International Law which @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu has said she will uphold.

Empty words, Ursula?

Underestimating support for climate action limits political decision making, study says Research reveals huge disparity between perceived and actual willingness of public to contribute to fixing climate

@joshettinger.bsky.social, a Mason 4C Postdoctoral Research Fellow, spoke with The Guardian:

“I hope our research encourages policy officials to be braver and pursue more ambitious climate policies. They have more public support than they may realize.”

Fast-tracking mining in B.C. without repeating past mistakes - UBC News B.C. is pushing mineral mining to meet clean energy demand, but UBC experts stress the need to balance growth with Indigenous rights and the environment.

Check out this interview with CCJ Co-Director @carolmliao.bsky.social and DR John Steen responding to proposed fast-tracking projects by BC governments on critical mineral mining in BC and how to ensure it doesn't present extra risks to First Nations and the environment. news.ubc.ca/2025/08/fast...

Stethoscope Story #8 This is "Stethoscope Story #8" by Albino Squirrel Channel on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

Dr. Tarek Loubani, who is in Gaza right now, was invited to give a talk to emergency workers about the attacks on health care facilities in Gaza.

But he was instructed - get this - not to say who was doing the attacking. Take a look at how this hero of a human responded: vimeo.com/1112115018/c...

Three weeks ago: "This is an attempt to silence us—and to cover up a genocide unfolding in real time. I call on international officials, human rights defenders, and global media to speak out and share this message. Your voice can help stop the targeting of journalists and protect the truth.”

Just back from the incredible PanAmerican Congress in Mexico City, kicked off by President @claudiasheinbaum.bsky.social .

60 progressive lawmakers came together from 12 countries across the Americas. I was honoured to speak on opening night. Will share video soon
