As many of us are learning in real time, it's very difficult to challenge & overturn a legal system of repression *legally*.
ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

@fionaharvey.bsky.social I liked your article, “Nations’ plans to ramp up coal, gas and oil extraction ‘will put climate goals beyond reach’”.
Wondering how you might see nations prepping to use the July23, ICJ climate advisory to sue?

I am deeply thankful for this advisory opinion, and the ruling from the Inter-American International Court of Human Rights as well. For local activists, working grass-roots, this is the unexpected game changer from the outfield, that Canadian activists have desperately needed. 🌲🙏🌳

"AC is essential here as much as bread and water," he said.
"When the air conditioners are running, the electricity bills are very high," he said, demanding authorities offer discounts for businesses.
