An estimated 130,000 children in Al Fasher, Sudan, are at a high risk of grave rights violations, with reports of abduction, killing and maiming, and sexual violence.

UNICEF calls for an immediate ceasefire, safe, unimpeded humanitarian access, and the protection of civilians, especially children.

The hurricane itself is hundreds of miles wide but the area with the strongest winds is a gargantuan 60 miles. The fact its moving so slow means the potential destruction is off the charts.

And the Trump administration is to busy avoiding the Epstein scandal to even bother.

We can do better.

Climate change is all to real.

Hurricane Melissa is now packing 175 mph winds over a 60 mile wide path and moving at just 2 mph, which means parts of Jamaica and Cuba could see 30 hrs of total destruction.

In a rational world the USA would be prepared to lend aid, instead, crickets.

People across the country are fighting for their lives and also to protect their neighbors. They are doing so in the 100s of thousands every single day. You can choose to join the fight or you can pretend that "no one is doing anything."

“Premajority unionism” is a new term for corporate campaigns, in which workers try to win concessions from employers using channels outside the workplace, like investor pressure and appeals to the public.

Such efforts are not likely to achieve much.

Solar radiation management is gaining traction as a climate intervention but real-world constraints make it riskier and more uncertain than most models suggest, warns new research by Columbia's Miranda Hack, V. Faye McNeill, @steingart.bsky.social, and @gwagner.com: https://bit.ly/47dTvRS

An illustration of climate geoengineering techniques, including stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), cirrus cloud thinning (CCT), and marine cloud brightening (MCB), and their proposed delivery systems and potential impacts. Natural stratospheric aerosol release from a volcanic eruption is also shown for context. Surface albedo geoengineering (SAG), which is based on increasing the albedo of various surfaces, is also represented with two examples: installing white roofs on urban buildings and modifying plants and shrubs surface.

There is a lot to be critical of - some cities, Palestinian speakers silenced; in others Democratic Party leaders given center stage. Yet the mood in Chicago was summed up in a phrase “fuck ICE” - Mexican & Palestinian flags, red banners everywhere. That is a mvt to be mobilized. Get out & mingle

The affectsphere of disaffection & resentment we often can see & correctly diagnose on right - incels, white nationalists, the “manosphere” - on the left I think it looks like rage against any kind of mass democratic mobilization, a resentment it seems against the perceived middle class leading it
