A company was planning to inject chicken shit deep into a Virginia aquifer. Why? Because that way the carbon emissions stay underground, and the company can sell the carbon credits to Microsoft who can claim it toward their net-zero goals.
Carbon credits are a scam.

Eastern Shore residents help defeat proposal to inject chicken waste deep underground
Del. Rob Bloxom is pursuing state legislation to ban similar proposals in areas that rely on groundwater.

Ann Lovett’s story was in many ways the story of a generation of young women. We all knew girls like Ann, who had concealed their pregnancies or been sent away mysteriously. And many brave girls who were single mothers against all the odds.

The unforgettable story of Ann Lovett. Never forget the cold country Ireland once was for women. A lesson for other countries - including in the US where women’s rights and dignity are undermined like never before 💔💔💔
Ann Rose Lovett, a 15-year-old schoolgirl from Granard, County Longford died giving birth beside a grotto on 31 January 1984. Her baby son died at the same time and the story of her death played a huge part in a seminal national debate on women giving birth outside marriage. 1/3

But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes.
What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

I don't want to paint a rosy picture, because it's a city under siege. People are being abducted all the time. One person told me about watching 1-2 abductions a day, just in her own work following ICE.

It's genuinely a leaderless (or leaderful) movement, decentralized in a way that the state is absolutely unequipped to handle. There are a few basic skills involved, and so people teach each other those skills, and people are collectively refining them.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

In 2023 the UK government legislated that veterans who, like US ICE officers, shot their fellow citizens dead, on camera - for protesting, would never answer in any court - Civil, Criminal or even Coroners. With no pushback from the left or electorate.

Amazing moment on French TV. A French judge explains how Trump sent people from the US Embassy basically trying to intimidate her during Le Pen's trial for embezzlement - something they've done to other judges around the world.

Paschal Donohoe has warned about the expansion of data centres, pointing to their intensive water usage.
But he's been blasted by environmental campaigners who say he should have demonstrated this position when he sat at Cabinet.

Now out of government, Paschal Donohoe warns about water usage from 'thirsty' data centres
Donohoe’s warning has been criticised by Friends of the Earth, who said he should have shown this ‘level of clarity’ on the issue when he sat at Cabinet.
