Western leaders have issued words of condemnation, but words are not enough. They have the power to stop this genocide now.

Tony Blair argues the climate debate is ‘irrational’ and that instead of ending fossil fuels we should focus on carbon capture and nuclear, arguing that ‘the world will choose the cheapest option’

The purported bedrock commitment to free speech in the new administration increasingly appears to apply to “me and not thee”…
For speech to be free it must equally apply to those you disagree with.
