This from @NaomiAKlein is so spot on. And the edifice feels more and more like a facade with every passing week.

Journalists expose how UAE planned to use #COP28 climate talks to make oil deals. Yet more evidence that fossil fuel companies cannot be trusted & can have no place in climate negotiations. We have to #KickPollutersOut! bbc.co.uk/news/science-envirโ€ฆ

This is the calculated, intentional use of water as a weapon of war - to eliminate the most basic conditions of survival, to make life in Gaza impossible, and to further the goal of ethnic cleansing in Palestine
97% of Gaza's water was unsafe to drink even before the most recent Israeli military assault, which has devastated water infrastructure. Now, a dire situation has become catastrophic. Water is life. The denial & destruction of it is genocide. Visual in partnership with @10Tooba

The goal has nothing to do with Hamas, it is to eradicate the entirety of Palestinian civic life. It is ethnic cleansing. Genocide.

Rising antisemitism since 10/7 is very real and alarming. We want to be clear: holding Jews around the world responsible for Israelโ€™s actions is antisemitic and should be condemned outright. All people deserve to feel safe wherever they live. 1/7

Last night, over 400 UK Jews and allies gathered in Parliament Square to say: our government must not use our communityโ€™s pain to justify further bloodshed. We demanded: Stop the genocide. Ceasefire now. Release the hostages. End the siege on Gaza.

We organised. We camped. We stretched in so many directions, including (one can hope) into Jim Ratcliffe's nightmares. And we will do it again and again.

Working class folk in Torry have long paid price for Aberdeenโ€™s prosperity - encircled by heavy industry, sewage works & incinerator. Now @Scotgovโ€™s decided not to block development of last green space as Energy Transition Zone. Is that just? @fittick thenational.scot/politics/23โ€ฆ

10 years ago today, Rana Plaza collapsed, killing more than 1,000 garment workers. The tragedy exposed the dire conditions in much of the world's fashion industry โ€“ and the corporate elite which profit from them. tribunemag.co.uk/2023/04/remโ€ฆ
