The Dominican Republic wastes clean solar power, then buys costly fossil energy instead. Regulators allow fossil plants to break rules, while the public pays the bill. This is mismanagement serving old interests, not people or climate.

Wasting renewable energy comes at a high cost for the Dominican Republic
By operating thermal plants above their limits and maintaining a grid with insufficient storage capacity, the DR wastes part of its clean energy and generates multimillion-dollar losses.

“How many times, then, will Western journalists allow themselves to be fooled by Israeli propaganda – by military denials that later collapse under the weight of evidence?”
Israel’s Military Now Accepts 70,000 Killed in Gaza – But Why Did Our Media Let Them Get Away With Denying It for So Long?
I have spent the past two years debating the credibility of the Gaza Health Ministry’s numbers with supporters of Israel. It turns out the Israeli military agrees with me, not them.

Aafia Siddiqui’s case shows how power hides truth. The US avoids the missing years. Pakistan hides its own role. Corruption and silence protect elites, not justice. Human rights mean nothing without accountability. #AafiaSiddiqui #Justice #EndImpunity
Pakistan’s Aafia Siddiqui and the elusive truth in a landscape of politicized narratives
The Islamabad High Court repeatedly rebuked Pakistani officials for using the case of Aafia Siddiqui as a symbolic political tool rather than pursuing a sustained legal strategy.

A man disappears in the night, his family kept blind, his health treated like a state secret. This is not law, this is Asim Munir’s deep state at work. When truth is hidden, guilt is loud. History is watching.

Pakistan’s so-called civil and military partnership is dead. A court gave Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir and her husband harsh jail terms over posts on X that criticised power holders. It shows the state punishes dissent and shields elites while ripping at rights. #HumanRights #NoToAuthoritarianism
Pakistan’s civil-military partnership is a myth now. Imaan Mazari-Hazir case proves it
Imaan Mazari getting 17 years in jail for X posts shows the fear behind Pakistan’s hard state. It’s now a criminalised authoritarian regime.

Inviting Israeli President Herzog to Australia amid Gaza’s ongoing crisis is a moral failure. His record of apartheid, collective punishment, and war crimes makes him no guest of honour. #FreePalestine #HerzogOut #HumanRights

JD Vance is a nazi and this proves it.
Also he doesn't condemn nazis in his Holocaust memorial post.

FACTS, he is a lying man; evil nazi without respect for his country nor for its own people.

Armed ICE raids look like occupation, not law enforcement. Corruption shields abuse, lies excuse killings, and power crushes rights. Snatching kids and citizens is anti human violence, not security. Democracy cannot survive this. #HumanRights #AbuseOfPower #ICE #Justice
Noem's lies justifying murderous ICE tactics are melting in the heat of truth
Heavily armed ICE and Border patrol agents acting like packs of wolves are terrorizing neighborhoods in Minnesota and all across the country.

An FBI agent quits after pressure to drop a probe into an ICE killing, as Trump’s DOJ flips the case onto the victim and her widow. Investigators blocked, evidence seized, truth buried. This is Trump-era justice: protect power, punish the dead. #JusticeForRenee #Trump #ICE #DOJ #FBI #Minneapolis
Report: FBI agent who tried to investigate ICE officer who shot Renee Good resigns after pressure
The Justice Department has reportedly pushed make Good and her widow, Becca Good, the subject of an investigation instead of ICE officer Jonathan Ross.
