As Bill Gates recommends a “strategic pivot” away from climate change, the Gates Foundation made record investments in fossil fuel companies in 2024, despite its 2019 pledge to divest.
No one should ever listen to Gates about climate change again.

Jag antar att de protester mot USAs handelstullar och valutamanipulering som orsakat problemet
Irans protester handlar inte om bara ideologi eller geopolitik – utan om tomma kylskåp. När upp till 70 procent av inkomsten går till mat är protesterna också en kamp för överlevnad, skriver Clara Knäpper Bohman.
Protesterna i Iran är en kamp för överlevnad
Landet befinner sig i sin värsta livsmedelskris sedan andra världskriget.

A vote for the Tories, Reform, or Labour is effectively a vote for Trumpism
Trump started it.
Reform and Tories are at it too.
And Labour already heading in that direction.
All cruel, potentially deadly and does nothing to fix the cost of living crisis.

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.
