16 Days of Activism: who cares for those who care for survivors?

If we want a response to gender-based violence that lasts beyond these 16 days, we must stop outsourcing resilience to individuals and start building communities of care.

At a rugby club in small-town Leicestershire. This was on the window ledge in the toilet. Fearing the worst, I scanned the QR & opened it in an incognito window…

California Exceeds Another Clean Energy Milestone: Increasing battery storage capacity by 2,100% since the beginning of the Newsom Administration in 2019.

California Exceeds Another Clean Energy Milestone: Increasing battery storage capacity by 2,100% since the beginning of the Newsom Administration in 2019.

NEW: California now has nearly 17,000 megawatts of battery storage – reaching one-third of the way to our 2045 goal.

We're deploying more battery storage than any state in America, building a stronger grid, cutting pollution, and securing a safer future for our nation.

Thanks to our trade agreements, Japanese-made vehicles enter Canada tariff-free, while U.S. imports are becoming more expensive.
It’s a quiet reminder: when trade tensions rise, smart companies adapt — and Canada’s trade deals make that pivot possible.🇨🇦

On December 18th: Stop the Violence: Rise Up Against Frontex’s Training for Border Brutality! – Abolish Frontex European Campaign [En Français ci-dessous] 28 October 2025 – On December 18th, International Migrants Day, we are calling for decentralised actions against the escalating militarisation of Europe’s border regime  We must resist the increasing capacity for deadly policing. Resistance starts with dismantling Frontex’s training infrastructure. Frontex is pouring millions of euros into its first dedicated Training Center in Warsaw, set to open in October 2026. This center will be an exclusive factory for border police, intending to train over 200 officers per year and aims to rapidly expand its reach to other EU member states. This new center, alongside its existing “Partnership Academies” (link to partnership academies), is nothing less than a militarized training ground to standardize and normalize inhumane detention, deportation, and denial of safety to millions of people on the move. This is not about security; it’s about increasing the capacity for cruelty. On December 18th, we call on you to organize decentralized actions to resist this deadly regime and its training apparatus. From across Europe and North Africa, we will send an undeniable message: We will not stand by as Frontex recruits and trains border guards to inflict violence against people on the move! GET ORGANIZED in your respective cities as we call to #AbolishFrontexAcademy! Some of the past actions included handing out flyers, dropping banners, grafs, street posters, gatherings, speeches, art installations, demonstrations, occupations, blockades, sabotages, forcing barrages, and more. There are many ways to take action and we can be creative! Find more information about the Abolish Frontex movement and ideas for actions as well as a list of Frontex institutional and operational locations here . Please inform us if something may happen in your city on this occasion by sending an email to info[at]abolishfrontex.org so that we can integrate it in our media work. If you need resources, support, or want to coordinate your efforts with the wider campaign, please reach out to us.  Abolish the academy!   [Français] Stop à la Violence: Mobilisez-vous contre la formation à la violence frontalière dispensée par Frontex! Le 18 décembre 2025, Journée internationale des migrants, nous lançons un appel à actions décentralisées contre la militarisation croissante du régime frontalier européen. Ensemble résistons à la capacité croissante des forces de l’ordre à tuer. Commençons la résistance par le démantèlement de l’infrastructure du centre de formation de Frontex. Frontex investit des millions d’euros dans son premier centre de formation à Varsovie, prévu pour ouvrir ses portes en octobre 2026. Ce centre sera une usine spécifique dédiée à la police des frontières, destinée à former plus de 200 agent.e.s par an et visant à étendre rapidement son rayonnement à d’autres États membres de l’UE. Ce nouveau centre, parallèlement à ses « académies de partenariat » existantes (lien vers les académies de partenariat), n’est rien d’autre qu’un terrain d’entraînement militarisé visant à normaliser et à banaliser la détention inhumaine, l’expulsion et le déni de sécurité de millions de personnes en migration. Ici, il ne s’agit pas de sécurité, mais bien d’intensifier la capacité de cruauté. Le 18 décembre, nous vous lançons un appel à organiser des actions décentralisées pour offrir de la résistance à ce régime meurtrier et à sa machine de formation la Frontex academy ! A partir de toute l’Europe et de l’Afrique du Nord, nous enverrons un message ferme et déterminé : nous ne resterons pas les bras croisés pendant que Frontex recrute et forme des gardes-frontières aux fins d’infliger des violences aux personnes en migration ! ORGANISEZ-VOUS dans vos villes respectives pour répondre à notre appel #AbolishFrontexAcademy ! Parmi les actions menées par le passé, citons la distribution de tracts, le déploiement de banderoles, des graffitis, des affiches dans les rues, des rassemblements, des présentations, des installations artistiques, des manifestations, des occupations, des barrages, des sabotages, etc. Il existe de nombreuses façons d’agir et nous pouvons faire preuve de créativité ! Vous trouverez ici de plus amples informations sur le mouvement Abolish Frontex, des idées d’actions ainsi qu’une liste des sites institutionnels et opérationnels de Frontex. Si un événement est prévu dans votre ville à cette occasion, veuillez nous en informer en envoyant un e-mail à info[at]abolishfrontex.org afin que nous puissions l’intégrer dans notre travail médiatique. Si vous avez besoin de ressources, de soutien ou si vous souhaitez coordonner vos efforts avec la campagne plus large, n’hésitez pas à nous contacter. Abolissons l’académie ! Abolissons Frontex Academy !

President Zelensky of Ukraine

🇺🇦 Zelensky 🇺🇦
Our thoughts today are with President Zelensky who must sit in the golden oval office and nod his head to the babbling of Trump.

Zelensky will do whatever is necessary to help the Ukrainian people.

May Ukraine get what it needs to end this awful war.
