It’s not just Summers and Chomsky. There are undoubtedly other academics who have Epstein connections squirming right now, and friends of those academics sitting silently with their hands in their pockets. And: there are other Epsteins, and colleagues who know who they are

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I actually thought I had shared this on here and I hadn't. But if you want to look at why Tehran has to move it's climate change, yes, but it's genuinely fascinating as a failure of long term planning/ not understanding water supplies.
you'd think the forced displacement of 10 million people from one of the oldest centres of civilisation in human history would get a little more news attention than beltway journalists writing essays on how Olivia Nuzzi is a genius because they want to bone her and you'd be wrong
'Iran’s capital must be moved because the country “no longer has a choice,” President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Thursday in remarks carried by state media, warning that severe ecological strain has made Tehran impossible to sustain'

Climate diplomacy is failing us, no matter which country hosts the COPs.
As long as this system keeps granting so much access to the fossil fuel and agribusiness climate arsonists (aka lobbyists), we'll keep being told to celebrate minor progressive language and new meetings to set meetings.

The defenses of Olivia Nuzzi are confusing until I realized how many people just plainly admit they admire, support and continue to champion someone who got caught and experienced consequences for being unethical (twice?!) and further hurt the reputation of women journalists as a result.
