Hard to believe 15 million Democrats evaporated. They didn’t appear in Trump’s numbers – so either 15 million Democrats chose not to vote, or something is up. I know the last thing the Democrats want to do is become the stolen-election conspiracists, but they can’t shrug it off.

This is probably the most astonishing rainfall data I’ve ever had my hands on. Turis, Valencia, Spain, found itself in the absolute worst of last week’s extreme rain event. The town ended up with a mind-boggling 771.8 mm (30.4 inches) of rainfall over the course of 24 hours.

Biden should go all out on climate for the next 75 days. Declare a climate emergency. Get all the IRA money out the door. Permit new transmission lines. Stop new LNG exports. Ban drilling on public lands. Make a mountain of progress for Trump to try and undo.

We are now at global warming of 1.45-1.55°C and rising. * 6 years earlier than expected given scientific consensus * 2 years earlier than worst case central estimate of so-called 'hot' models * 1 year earlier than Ramanathan's 2018 projection (10% probability) Make it news.🧵

The state and its institutions are responsible for genocide.
30 Oct 2024
Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the #OPT @FranceskAlbs: "The institutions of the state of #Israel, a self proclaimed rule of law system - the executive, the parliament, the courts - have failed to contain and redress abusive power. Instead, together, they have advanced the course of the current catastrophe. And while international tribunals will hopefully hold individual accountable, the responsibility of the state must be understood and assessed in its own right and cannot wait. This should have been stopped already by the Security Council last October, after three early warnings issued by dozens of UN independent experts, when the #ICJ passed its first set of provisional measures, when I presented my first report, or before #Rafah was invaded, or before the invasion of #Lebanon, and instead, the silence, or worse, the justification of a small but very influential number of states in this room leaves me utterly lost of words. And yet, wherever there are lives to save, there is still the urgency to intervene to prevent new atrocities that will further scar human history. Make that moment be now."

That's your legacy, @IDF . The "most moral army" in the world, that *bombs people in tents*. You have made the world your enemy. You are a pariah state. You disgust the whole planet.

What happened to these pledges @Keir_Starmer @10DowningStreet ?
Just a few of Starmer's pledges that he put forward in his bid for Labour Leadership! A fraud and a conman! 🤬

Reading @jasonhickel 's #TheDivide on the train & tbh I have absolutely no idea how he managed to stick to pen & paper & resist grabbing the mother of all loudspeakers & use the nearest high roof to bellow these words of fire to the world. WTAF have we done to the world. Read it.

Choosing between Robert Jenrick and Kemi Badenoch is akin choosing between rolling down an endless hill of sandpaper and having a pineapple shoved up your bum Or it would be if the Tories were in power Either of those will only damage the party more willblack-53220.medium.com/t…

I have said it before and I will say it again: We are not going to “wellness”, “good vibes” or “one on one therapy” our way of out of a mental health crisis that is a direct outcome of structural and economic violence and inequality.

Via @btselem: "On Friday, 14 June 2024, 12-year-old Muhammad Hushiyeh set out home from the soccer field in al-Am’ari Refugee Camp when he heard shots fired by Israeli soldiers at stone throwers and started running. Video footage shows Muhammad running away from the soldiers when several more shots are heard. Muhammad is then seen lying wounded on the sidewalk, about 70-75 meters from the soldiers who shot him, who were likely across the street from him. An ambulance arrived a few minutes after Muhammad was shot but was repeatedly blocked from reaching Muhammad, causing a delay of nearly 20 minutes before he could receive medical care. Muhammad Hushiyeh sustained internal injuries, underwent surgery and was hospitalized in critical condition for about a week before succumbing to his wounds on 22 June 2024. The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that another six Palestinians were injured that day in the camp and in al-Birah, two seriously and four lightly."
