Tracking Every US Strike on Boats in the Caribbean and Pacific
The Trump administration is committing illegal strike after illegal strike. Donβt look away, and donβt lose track.
The Trump-Vance admin has been committing illegal strike after illegal strike. They're trying to normalize it.
They're counting on you to lose track, to be too overwhelmed to remember the gravity of what they're doing.
But we're keeping track of every single strike.
So far:Β 22 strikes. 87 killed.

Meeting the 1.5Β°C Climate Goal Will Save Millions of People, and It's Still Feasible
People already suffering from climate change are beseeching world leaders to hold global temperature rise to 1.5Β°C, even if we surpass that threshold temporarily
"Instead of action, weβre increasingly obsessed with prognostication...Weβre relating to the climate crisis as if itβs something weβre watching instead of something weβre doingβand that mindset has enormous consequences." @adellethomas.bsky.social
