‘Science demands action’: world leaders and UN push climate agenda forward despite Trump’s attacks Leaders unveil new targets to cut planet-heating pollution after Trump called climate crisis a ‘con job’ World leaders have unveiled new targets to cut planet-heating pollution at the United Nations, in a bid to spur fresh impetus to the beleaguered climate effort a day after Donald Trump called the crisis “the greatest con job ever perpetrated upon the world”. A total of 120 countries and the European Union announced new goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in New York on Wednesday. The pledges most notably include one from China, the world’s leading emitter, which said it would cut emissions by 7-10% from its peak level by 2035. Continue reading...

Caoilfhionn Gallagher and Jodie Ginsberg: Why Ireland must lead the way in protecting Gaza’s journalists Three years ago, just weeks after an Israeli soldier shot and killed Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, the Taoiseach made clear Ireland’s unequivocal commitment to upholding press freedom and t...

In @independent.ie, @jodieginsberg.bsky.social & I argue the deliberate, systematic targeting of #Gaza’s journalists is not only an assault on individuals; it is an attack on truth & human rights.

Ireland must do more, urgently, to protect Gaza’s journalists.

Gaza is starving. So are its journalists | Jodie Ginsberg A desperate situation has become catastrophic. If we do not act now, there will be no one left to tell anyone’s story

I have been a reporter for 25 years. I know the risks reporting in war zones. This is not that situation. This is systematic silencing by Israel.

If we do not act now, there will be no one left in Gaza to tell anyone’s story.

153. Living by the Ipse Dixit A constitutional principle like the "unitary executive theory" isn't worth all that much if the Supreme Court can conjure new, unprincipled exceptions to it by simply asserting that they exist.

“If the unitary executive theory is subject to exceptions for contexts in which the practical consequences of eliminating an agency’s independence would be too extreme, then it’s not much of a theory.”

Today’s “One First” on #SCOTUS’s deeply flawed ruling last Thursday in Trump v. Wilcox:

“Was quite a moment, a sense we reached some kind of inflection point in U.S. history. You can now personally pay a U.S. president to gain an audience.”

“They cannot trust this president and this Attorney General to ensure their protection.”

Stunning. Must read 🧵. #judiciary

Why Vietnam Ignored Its Own Laws to Fast-Track a Trump Family Golf Complex

Vietnamese officials stated in a letter that a Trump golf project requires special support from top ranks of government because it was “receiving special attention from the Trump administration and President Donald Trump personally.” @damiencave.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/w...

Watch John Oliver break down how Trump’s second administration has escalated attacks on the press on @lastweektonight.com ‬— from banning outlets to weaponizing the FCC.

“We’ve seen countries backslide. The press is often the first casualty.”

John Oliver, last year's @pressfreedom.bsky.social Awards host, just devoted a show to US press freedom. He quotes former awards chair Shari Redstone who said: "Press freedom must constantly be defended."
We agree. Now's the time for everyone, especially media owners, to stand up for a free press.
