Ok but people can/need to also express their anger. Also for a narcissist, this sign is kryptonite

Half of Scotland's land is owned by 400 people. Scottish Greens will limit how much can be bought by any individual or company. On May 7th vote Scottish Green.

Land should benefit our communities, nature and environment, not just private profit.

Scottish Greens will limit how much land can be bought by any individual or company unless it provably contributes to the common good. #VoteScottishGreens

A politician with the guts to say it:
"No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die fighting in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein War."

This is why western universities must need reflexivity in the classroom. No one is entitled to research whatever they want. Indigenous scholarship - eg Audra Simpson, Eve Tuck, Linda Tuhiwai Smith - all have been underlining this again and again

The damage is done. Whether this group wants to self-identify or not as Indigenous is now contested because of this scholar’s data. Never mind that my Indigenous colleague has been working as a social worker for nearly two decades and knows his community inside out

It’s a great example of why white Western scholars should really cease ever being sole PI’s on any projects that comment on marginalized communities they do not have direct relations to. No accountability, just gain for their status as a scholar with fieldwork under their belt.

Just read an article from a white Western scholar who contested the findings of an article researched and written by an Indigenous colleague and myself, advancing a very damaging gov’t narrative that this particular Indigenous identity does not exists - but they used ‘local research assistants’ 🙄

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.

Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

This America always existed. These guys were everywhere during Standing Rock, and that was under Obama

Four Oglala detainees located, three still in ICE custody - ICT The four Lakota detainees were reportedly sent to a former concentration camp used during the Dakota Wars

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

Indigenous-Washing at COP30: How Inclusion Became a Cover for Systemic Failure – Intercontinental Cry Both on the ground and across the globe, COP30 in Belém attracted a flurry of labels. Some dubbed it the “COP of implementation,” underscoring the long-delayed

The talk of nuclear reactors and permanent settlements on the Moon is sheer patriarchal, colonial hubris. I don’t even know where to start but technocracy and autocracy are clearly merging their paths.

I just say it’s like toothpaste

Darren Beattie, fired from the Trump White House in 2018 after it was revealed he attended a white supremacist conference, has just been appointed acting president of the U.S. Institute of Peace, according to the State Department.

Not sure many people believe AI to be a significant contributor to climate change but what I do know is that many articles - which are far from clickbait - do point to a future of GenAI, in particular, being energy and water intensive. The IEA - whose numbers you cite - also states this outright

Happy 4th fellow Americans, some reminders today:
-Not all came to America voluntarily (see slavery, forced servitude)
-Not all want/ed to be part of America (see Indigenous Nations, Treat of Guadalupe)
-Not all want/ed America to be the Land of the Free (see white supremacy, the current President)

Inquiry finds British committed genocide on Indigenous Australians It is the country's first formal "truth-telling" inquiry that ran for four years from 2021.

I can already hear the meltdowns that the world is becoming too sensitive or too woke. Sorry but an island that imports everything shouldn’t be one of the largest economies in the world. A long overdue reckoning with the past was bound to happen.

In light of FM Swinney’s apology (and those of other parties) for the Tinker Experiments, just a reminder that we put in 21 recommendations in our report that all stakeholders should put into action. Apologies point out what’s wrong, actions make things right (with survivors/victims at the helm)

Honoured and grateful to have been part of this work of truth-telling around the ‘Tinker Experiments’. Credit must go to Gypsy/Traveller advocates and those survivors/victims who had to endure these injustices in the dark for far too long. An apology is only the start. www.abdn.ac.uk/news/24494/a
