The role of climate change in making major hurricanes, like Melissa, increasingly dangerous is “undeniable.”

Jamaica cowers as Category 5 Melissa bears down, supercharged by warming seas

That climate change is making this and other major hurricanes far more dangerous is "undeniable."

The world has failed #Sudan 🇸🇩, and many are not even aware of what is happening.
The RSF is carrying out genocide, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity, and the UAE is enabling it by supplying weapons used to massacre civilians.
Enough: Sanctions, arms embargoes and humanitarian aid NOW!

There is no conceivable justification for Trump's saber-rattling toward Venezuela:
1. No U.N. Security Council mandate.
2. No conceivable "self-defense."
3. No mass slaughter to allow humanitarian intervention.
It is plainly illegal, as I explain: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

⚡️It’s time to uproot the UN, to make it ours: democratic, transparent, and capable of stopping the worst crimes in the world.

While 193 countries are told they have a say, only five actually choose who the next United Nations Secretary-General will be: 🇨🇳 China, 🇷🇺 Russia, 🇺🇸 the US, 🇬🇧 the UK & 🇫🇷 France. 5 countries deciding for everyone else, creating a system of first- and second-class nations

193 countries. 5 decide. That’s how the UN 🇺🇳 picks its leader.

On the UN’s 80th birthday, we filed a communication to the UN Special Procedures, asking them to take a look at the UN Chief selection process!

HB 🎂UN, may you fix yourself.

The United Nations should be leading this effort. Instead, weak leaders bow to superpowers. So take to the streets, protest, agitate, until Palestine is free.

The genocide will not stop until world leaders do their job. For the millionth time, that means sanctions, embargoes, divestments, and an international protection force sent to Gaza.

Israel’s war crimes are so extreme that yesterday, the International Court of Justice had to remind it: you cannot starve people & humans deserve medicine.

Don’t look away from Palestine. Israel is threatening more colonial annexation, violating the ceasefire, and continuing to murder Palestinians.

Buying a house is a dream for most, while achieving the economic stability to build a family feels impossible. Our governments keep ending up on the wrong side of history - supporting genocides and destroying the environment. I’ve had enough. And you?

Time to shake up the United Nations: it fails to stop superpowers from committing the gravest of crimes, from Ukraine to Palestine. We must either reform it to answer to the people of the world and do its job, or build an alternative.

#ClimateChange is threatening our very existence, harming communities worldwide and destroying our planet. Yet, instead of taking action, Trump wants the EU to dismantle already watered-down EU green regulations... This is a threat to all of us: NO! www.ft.com/content/678f...
