"The Santa Marta conference comes amid unprecedented geopolitical tensions as illegal wars initiated by Israel, the US and Russia have led to surging emissions and energy and food costs, and pushed international justice and multilateralism to the brink of collapse"

Countdown begins to Trump alleging voter fraud in Hungary
The Vance bump
The Iran energy crisis is a direct result of the European complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza
Apropos of nothing, Vance is now leading the US delegation in Pakistan after this clearly successful trip to Hungary
It blows my mind that the international community has allowed one little man, wanted criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, to commit genocide, commit ethnic cleansing and destroy entire towns in multiple countries, so that he can stay in power and avoid prosecution for corruption.
Utterly horrific.
Genocidal massacres perpetrated across Lebanon by Israel.
This is what the end of an empire looks like
Israel should be hit with mmediate economic and diplomatic sanctions, travel bans, cultural boycotts etc.
A pattern of illegal acts and disregard for human life that should trigger global sanctions & boycotts.
Israel: genocide in Gaza, apartheid & illegal occuaption across Palestine; torture prisons now incl death penalty
US: Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, domestic immigration terror, systemic corruption
Invisible plumes and ‘terrible pollution’: the reality of the US gas sites rated ‘grade A’

Mexico will file a case at the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights as part of the government's effort to protest and get more information about the growing number of deaths in ICE custody which suggest systemic failures

This week Israel tortured a baby in Palestine, assassinated two journalists in Lebanon, targeted health clinics, schools and cleansing water sources in Iran. This is a state perpetrating systematic war crimes across borders.
It cannot be long before Trump’s retinue of sycophants, enablers and justifiers, in government and in the media, start telling us, "I never liked the guy", "I tried to restrain him" and "I was only obeying orders."
So be sure to keep the receipts.
I wonder why some climate folks find it so hard to hold more than one truth at a time. War is a cause and impact of the climate emergency, just like the industrial food industry and Big Tech etc.

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese delivers her latest report on how apartheid Israel tortures Palestinians in every single aspect of life. Member states have an obligation to act to stop Israel's apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide, for Palestine, for all of humanity #FreePalestine
This is what evil states do - torture - mass torture of people in detention.
“Israel is systematically torturing Palestinians on a scale “that suggests collective vengeance and destructive intent”.”
