I wonder why Bregman thinks that modern liberal elites are showing cowardice in the ace of rising authoritarianism.

The irony is delicious if unheathy.

For any unfamiliar with the quality of journalism at Teen Vogue, it's well known for hard-hitting stories on "politically sensitive" topics including climate.

Then there's CBS: the only major network to increase climate coverage in the last few years. They just axed nearly their whole climate team.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Great piece by Gordon Brown

I wish all politicians were this well informed

Nonetheless, whatever action we take now will simply limit how catastrophic climate breakdown ends up being - which makes the fight to slash emissions even more vital

Honestly it's more than a little frustrating that a prominent Israeli politician just told one of the most hawkish Israeli media publications that the United States dictates Isrseli strikes in an ongoing genocide and it is getting absolutely zero attention.
Avigdor Liberman is a member of the Knesset, by the way.

This has always been OUR genocide. Israel doesn't control us and never has. We control Israel.

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

They hid Banksy’s mural, reportedly pursuing the artist for criminal damage, and the public are taking it upon themselves to uncover the truth.

The UK judiciary has been corrupted by corporate interests who will go to great lengths to silence opposition.
