No more statements of condemnation. No more “keeping dialogue open” to allow trickles of aid deliveries. No more complicity in ethnic cleansing and genocide. We call on every government in the world to urgently suspend trade and sanction Israel NOW.

Here’s the tea: Carney’s fast-track legislation NEEDS to go back to the drawing board.
While these "national interest" projects could include renewable energy projects, they could (and will VERY LIKELY) include projects such as pipelines. Ugh.

“Everything Old is New Again”: Andor’s Mon Mothma and the Dangers of Tradition
Warning: This blog post contains spoilers for Season 1 and Season 2 of Andor (Disney+). I’m not much of a Star Wars fan, but I have absolutely devoured the Star Wars show Andor, which recently released its second (and final) season on Disney+. The show features impeccable acting, strong storytelling, an abundance of strong female leads, and speeches that are so prescient to the present political moment that it feels like they were written yesterday.

I like paying taxes. Genuinely. Not grudgingly. I can’t pave a road, I can’t build and staff a hospital. $200 in my pocket won’t pay for my kid’s daycare but if we all pool our money it might. I really wish someone on the left would be brave enough to be like, “Taxes are good, actually.”

Historian @emilypawley.bsky.social shows how social movements have already transformed our world—often more than we realize. That's the good news! The not-so-good news is that progress is often messy, imperfect, and fragile.
