BREAKING: Huge news: The contents of a secret U.K. Govt report on Britain’s β€˜critical systems’ and their grave vulnerability have just now been made public by the TIMES, for the very first time. The report was stark in its findings, incl crucially: β€œBritain’s food security…could be β€œat strategic risk of catastrophic failure” by 2030”. Food was only one of the critical systems analysed in the report and found to be at risk of collapse from the end of the decade, >unless< collectively we change course to a safer, more resilient path.

Last month, solar power generated 12.8% of electricity in the U.S. while coal was responsible for 12.2%. It’s the first time in history that solar accounted for more energy than coal. πŸ”‹ abcnews.com/US/solar-generat…

Israel is destroying every single home in the southern 40 miles of Lebanon. This is not β€œtargeting Hezbollah strongholds.” These are Christian villages and Sunni villages and Shia villages where people have lived for centuries.

Israeli lawyer Ben Marmarelli says Palestinian prisoners he represents beg him not to visit because they're raped each time he is due to meet them. This is a scene from Al Jazeera's shocking new documentary on Israel's systematic use of rape.

A doctor kidnapped from a besieged hospital, tortured and held without charge for over 500 days, would surely be called a HOSTAGE. Unless he’s Palestinian.

This is really good from @GreenRupertRead But it’s perverse that the media is still framing our slide toward catastrophe as, β€œWhat do you want your taxes spent on?” in the same moment the world’s most powerful white supremacist becomes a trillionaire. youtu.be/9km5rF4u7OI?si=6wBb…

Maybe this should be in the news??
Region Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperatures are in record territory, approaching 3 standard deviations above the 1982-2011 mean, an anomaly that has never happened before in recorded history. The Climate 8-ball says: "four!"

Those who celebrate @elonmusk's $1 trillion fortune need to be reminded of a simple and vital truth: That there is a fundamental tension between extreme wealth and the very possibility of democracy.

Not β€˜could’, but β€˜will’.
May 2026 was the 2nd hottest May on record globally. With β€œGodzilla” El nino brewing in the Pacific, could 2026 become the hottest year ever?..and 2027 even hotter? If this trend continues, the risks of drought, crop failures and food shortages could rise dramatically.

I thought that if Israeli soldiers or settlers attacked Christian villages, the Christian world would unite in their millions in condemnation that their sacred sites were being burnt and erased.
The OLDEST CHRISTIAN village in the world is burning. Taybeh, Palestine. The last 100% Christian Palestinian village, where Christ resurrected Lazarus, build the Church of St. Michael.

BREAKING: "Greater Israel" is now marketed in London. Like in Montreal and in New York. Apartheid without borders. P.S. This explains why criticism of Israel is being restricted (and "anti-antisemitism" laws keep appearing). Apartheid is not only a crime. It is a business model.
URGENT: On 14 June, a "Great Israeli Real Estate" event in London will market properties in illegal Israeli settlements β€” including Gush Etzion, Ma'ale Adumim, Negohot. @ICJP, @PILC and @ELSC have just written to the Met Police War Crimes Team & the Home Secretary and Business and Trade Secretary. This event needs to be cancelled immediately. Here's why it matters 🧡

Hold on to your rice paddies, NASA satellites are detecting a major sea-level rise across the tropical Pacific as the Super El NiΓ±o rapidly strengthens. If forecasts verify, late 2026 /2027 will see extreme floods and crops impacted. The climate system is sending another warning.
