Winter sports need snow, not fossil fuels. Letting Eni sponsor the Winter Olympics is absurd.
Oil and gas companies are melting the very conditions athletes depend on, then using the Games to greenwash their image.
The International Olympic Committee should drop fossil fuel sponsors.

If you have ever talked to a sixteen year old you will know that it only takes about a second to realise that they are indeed still children.

Too often women must choose between busy roads with little protection or quieter routes with poor lighting. Both are unsafe.

Manchester capitalism rebranded as a lifestyle choice. It's what happens when the left withdraws from shaping identities around work, life, and politics. Individualism, conservatism ("marry early"), puritanism. They all shape how he will act politically. "Care for the sick? No, it's their own fault"

There you have it, the Board of Peace is nothing more than a corrupt real estate deal dressed up as diplomacy with the sole purpose of enriching Trump and his favoured cronies.
Trump makes concluding remarks. He says Gaza ceasefire push began because he is “a real estate person at heart, and it’s all about location, and I said, ‘look at this location, on the sea, look at this beautiful piece of property’”.
