So much for Gaza awakening critical thought. So many continuing to lap up Western by celebrating a US-backed puppet allied with Netanyahu. A perfect example of how dissent is neutralized. #NobelPrize #Gaza #NoamChomsky

The Nobel Peace Prize became meaningless the day they gave it to the Drone King. Today they gave it to Venezuela's US-backed opposition leader. History shows what comes next: regime change, corporate plunder, and environmental devastation!

They loved Greta's moral clarity when it was a good look for them. That same clarity would be a good look today! But their commitment to human rights has a very specific & profitable border. Their silence as she faced arrest and reports of abuse reveal everything

In reality, companies arming the Israeli military, supplying bulldozers for home demolitions, or providing AI surveillance systems for a digital apartheid regime are being rewarded with billions in so-called "ethical" capital #ESG #ESGFunds #Gaza #FrancescaAlbanese

The House just voted to let a mining company build a road through pristine Alaskan wilderness. An Alaska Rep called regulators the "unelected cubicle army." My latest on the ideology behind the destruction. #AmblerRoad #Alaska #Extractivism

We spoke to @bloomberg.com for this great investigation on conflict pollution in #Gaza: "so much environmental damage has been caused that it is undermining the basic life support systems that people rely on." www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

The War in Gaza Leaves Toxic Legacy of Garbage, Disease and Pollution

The bombardment of Gaza has left a toxic legacy of contaminated soil, blackened water and disease-spreading garbage that will last generations.

Why do conservation groups respond to some wars and stay silent on others? This piece asks what their silence is really protecting. 👇 #Conservation #Conflict

Thanks! I did mention FFI in South Sudan and CI’s conflict-sensitive programs. That matters. I just think it’s fair to ask why more public advocacy hasn’t followed. On Greenpeace, I get that advocacy’s their focus but when others speak on some conflicts & stay silent in others, it invites criticism.
