Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

I’m telling you, the rise of authoritarianism is directly connected to efforts to keep the fossil-fuel system going. It’s right there for everyone with eyes to see.
The Indian government contends that foreign funds were intended to promote the Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty, which it claims "could could expose India to legal challenges... and severely compromise the nation’s energy security and economic development".
