The warming planet could create millions more climate refugees in the coming years. Most will come from countries in the Global South, which are "suffering disproportionately the impacts of climate change but have not contributed to it."

Obama's 'library' reminds me a bit of the federal prison a few miles north in downtown Chicago. Unfortunately, it will have to be expanded if it's going to house all the war criminals that worked in the drone-bomb-the-fuck-out-of-the-Brown-world Obama administration.

Globalisation of hate. Having exhausted the supply of internal enemies Trump now creating external ones.
The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.

Some will say this is not the moment to criticize liberals—that when fascism is ascendant, unity against Trump must come before introspection. We are on the edge of the breakdown of democracy, they say. 1/

All of this has to be torn down and we must build a new system in its place. A system built on true universalism. The Western ruling classes will never deliver such a world. On the contrary, they fight against it.

This is the task of our generation and we cannot rest until it is achieved.

We cannot accept a racialised two-tier system where human rights are only enforced for some peoples and not for others. We cannot accept apartheid in the international system.

What we must all remember from the Gaza genocide is that the international system is rotten to its core and needs to be completely replaced.

We cannot accept a system where Western governments and leaders can commit genocide and war crimes with total impunity.

Today is a good day to remind everyone that the US narrative claiming the President of Venezuela is a drug trafficker is 100% lies. The Trump administration knows this, the Nobel committee knows this... it is a campaign to manufacture consent for invasion. Don't fall for it.

Spain has implemented an arms embargo against Israel, showing how it’s done. Every other state that does not follow suit, and which continues to supply arms to the Zionists, must be understood as not only complicit but a partner in the genocide.
