The radical roots of the first #EarthDay in 1970 are often forgotten.

Inspired by the anti-vietnam war student sit-ins 20 million Americans took part!

It led to the:
- Clean Air Act
- Clean Water Act
- Endangered species Act
- & the EPA

People power works ✊️🌍

A letter to Israelis, and to the people who care about Israelis, who believe they have no place in their hearts for Palestinians in Gaza — to those who are afraid or angry, to those who think revenge is the solution

מדיווחי רוב האתרים בארץ נעדר איכשהו ההסבר על מי זה גדוד ״נצח יהודה״ ומה ההיסטוריה שלו שהובילה להחלטה האמריקאית. טוב שיש את John Brown ואת שיחה מקומית כדי להשלים פערים

שיעור הרופאים הערבים (נכון ל2021) הוא 24%, לא גבוה בהרבה משיעור הערבים באוכלוסיה.

הסיבה שזה נראה לנו כ'כ הרבה היא שבגלל ההפרדה הקיצונית בין ערבים ליהודים בישראל, שאנחנו לא רגילים למצב שבו אחד מכל חמישה הוא ערבי

Tbh am quite pleased that Dr. Alex Powell sort of includes me in the Young Greens 🌱 category.

Had a super fun day doorknocking in St. Clements. Great support for Alex on loads of things and clear to me that Greens can win here again (was Green for more than a decade).

Tripwire 🇺🇸 Talia Ringer 🟣 🎗️ The answer to 'Our ancestors lived here, therefore we can kick out everyone currently living here' isn't 'Your ancestors didn't live here,' it's 'Nobody has the right to kick out the people currently living in a place, no matter who their ancestors were.'

Something that shocks me is realizing that people are extremely ignorant about the atrocities that have been committed since the Shoah.

Cambodia, Rwanda, The Balkans, Colombia, Guatemala, Korea, Vietnam, Mariupol, Mosul, Darfur, Nigeria...

בכל העולם כולם מזועזעים מתמונות גרפיות קשות של ילדים שנהרגו שלשום במחנה אל-מע׳אזי ובמה התקשורת הישראלית בוחרת להתמקד? בעזתים על חוף הים. דוגמה קלאסית לתקשורת מגויסת שוויתרה על התפקיד העיתונאי שלה ורק הופכת את הציבור לטיפש ומנותק במקום לחשוף לו את מה שמתרחש

Nothing is more arrogant than people living in the West using our fear and suffering as props in their deluded fantasies. Disgusting and evil people.

The Iranian and Israeli people didn't tend to see each other as enemies (see 2012 grassroots campaign of 'Israel loves Iran / Iran loves Israel' also mentioned in this piece).

That is still the case 🧡

We may not know for a while the full details of the Arab cooperation tonight in the interception of the Iranian drone and missile attack on Israel, but it was significant without a doubt, including the use of Jordan’s airspace. It certainly helped to save many Israeli lives. >
