A producer and editor for WGN-TV was violently forced to the ground this morning by two Border Patrol agents, before having her hands cuffed behind her back, during an ICE action in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood.

Debbie Brockman has worked for the local television station since 2011.

With deep sadness, we remember Catarina de Albuquerque, a pioneering human rights advocate who advanced water and sanitation as fundamental rights. Her legacy shapes global policy and lives worldwide. May her memory guide us in the pursuit of justice, dignity, and equality for all

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

All political tribes can be hypocritical but the right's current level of hypocrisy on free speech is deliberate. It's an assertion of power not a blindspot.

In a new blog post at @voelkerrechtsblog.org, I discuss the implications of the ICJ's Advisory Opinion for corporate climate accountability.

Though the Court doesn't say much explicitly, the key is to read between the lines.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the Geneva Conventions. Journalists are protected unless they take a direct part in the hostilities. If a party to an armed conflict does not like the reporting, this does not make the reporting direct participation in hostilities.

"Microsoft eventually released 'energy principles' for work with oil companies, but only required a public commitment to reach net zero by 2050. They didn't require oil companies to meet net zero goals. Notably, 4 years later, MS’s Responsible AI principles still don’t include environmental impact."
He helped Microsoft build AI to help the climate. Then Microsoft sold it to Big Oil.
