Must read on how deaths from extreme heat/climate crisis are being hidden from public view in the US. It’s killing you, but you’re not allowed to know about it. Excellent work by my colleague @ninalakhani.bsky.social
Read it here: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Americans are dying from extreme heat. Autopsy reports don’t show the full story

Official reports are likely to overlook heat’s role in a death. As US temperatures rise, experts say the true toll needs to be counted

@ninalakhani.bsky.social : " have covered violent, traumatic deaths for nearly 20 years, but heat fatalities felt different – not sensational, just painfully ordinary and entirely preventable. That ordinariness made them seem cruel."

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others.

Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla:

“People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.”
