As we debate building a new generation of fossil fuel infrastructure for data centers and LNG exports, it's helpful to understand how the last generation's infrastructure is faring. Answer: the fossil fuel industry (and now the fed gov't) has left it behind to poison our communities.
Forrest Smith, the only National Park Service engineer cleaning up abandoned oil and gas wells, lost his contract, leaving 93 orphaned wells on park lands unmanaged. These leaking wells release methane and toxins, threatening human health and the environment.

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform....

Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally.

It's time for Proportional Representation.

NEW: An Oxford report warns that misleading media coverage is shaping public debate on immigration and human rights.

80 years ago, they were offered showers and gassed. Today, they are offered food and shot.

Forty years ago today.

Yes, absolutely, a lot of things about Band Aid/Live Aid are/were deeply problematic, although the sincerity of everybody involved is unquestionable, but this is an extraordinary performance. It's still, forty years later, an incredibly moving piece of television:

I just watched the IDF shell an unarmed elderly Palestinian man in the back as he walked back from collecting bread for his staving family

When will we hold this demented regime accountable?

You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.
We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.
