I have to leave here. And it is only here that I hear some critical voices. This deeply troubles me. That I will lose connection to activists, movements & insights. I only know here. I am really sad about this. I also can’t dally tho because what’s happening is so terribly rotten

Extreme wealth is accelerating at breakneck speed, putting incredible amounts of power into the hands of a tiny few. It’s time to #TaxTheSuperRich.
The phrase I hear most often from my US colleagues is ‘five alarm fire’. Never have I heard so many use the same phrase so consistently. I take from this that this is indeed a five alarm fire.

Dear Senators and Representatives,
Oxfam along w/130+ orgs are united in strongly urging you to oppose efforts to shut down US foreign assistance. Shutting down USAID undermines lifesaving support & directly harms our security & standing in the world.

FACT: USAID funded projects in 120 countries - fighting epidemics, educating children, providing clean water, supporting life saving work.
Now nurses laid off, clinics closed in 25 countries where 2/3 of all child deaths occur.
All because of Trump’s inflated ego.

USAID helps build a better world, stands up for the people who need it most, defends the rights of women and girls, and saves lives. Don’t just take our word for it!
Call 1-888-471-2780 to urge your members of Congress to protect USAID and it’s lifesaving work.

As Grada Kilimanjaro points out: “White is not a colour. White is a political definition, which represents historical, political and social privileges of a certain group that has access to dominant structures and institutions of society”. Many commenters don’t understand this.

Oxfam demands that the pause on humanitarian aid be reversed immediately and permanently, and that lifesaving USAID programs around the world be allowed to go forward with proper resourcing.

Higher taxes on the super-rich isn’t just an idea - it’s already happening!
🌍 Some governments are already leading the way.
📜 The G20 has made a historic commitment.
🇺🇳 And most countries support new global tax rules at the UN.
This is our chance to build a fairer global system. Let’s seize the moment.
💪 Spread the word. Together we are unstoppable: taxthesuperrich.world

The reinstatement of the Global Gag Rule by the Trump admin is devastating. By forcing healthcare providers to choose between funding & care, including abortion care, this rule effectively cuts off critical services to millions particularly women & girls in low-income countries.
This is a truly worrying time. So many concerns flowing from #Inauguration2025 but my heart especially hurts for the trans community. Which along with immigrants,
have been so overtly targeted. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

If the aim of a national holiday is to bring people together, then don’t hold it on a day that marks the arrival of the First Fleet - a date that causes hurt and pain to many people in our community! change.org/p/australia-day-j…

As a Registered Nurse, I join this call with other healthcare workers for all governments including the Australian government to demand the immediate release of all healthcare workers that the IDF has abducted. #EndTheGenocide #WhereisDrHussamAbuSafiya #FreeDrHussamAbuSafiya
My name is Sarah Warren. I am a nurse in the US.
I join healthcare workers around the globe calling for our governments to demand the immediate release of all healthcare workers that have been abducted by the IOF.

🚨BREAKING: Of the meagre 34 trucks of food and water given permission to enter the North Gaza Governorate over the last 2.5 months, deliberate delays and systematic obstructions by the Israeli military meant that just twelve managed to distribute aid to starving Palestinian civilians.
