Tolérer le campement Notre-Dame aurait dû être une mesure provisoire, le temps de reloger les gens (correctement!). Ça deviendra plutôt un bidonville alors qu'il y a plus de 25 000 logements libres sur l'île.

In the #WestBank city of Hebron, partners are supporting more than 3,000 Palestinians evacuated from their homes by Israeli forces. Most are staying temporarily with relatives. Shelter, food and cash assistance are among their most urgent needs. Read: https://bit.ly/4zXKB7S

In case anyone thought Israel's preference for far-right authoritarian leaders like Orban, Bolsonaro, Modi and Milei would end if Netanyahu gets voted out, think again. It's baked in now for a variety of reasons. The only illiberal authoritarian they don't like is Erdogan.

Canadian-operated gold mines in the Dominican Republic and Haiti are facing growing opposition from local communities who say their water, health, and livelihoods have been harmed by years of extractive operations. This week, community leaders will bring their concerns directly to Ottawa.

huh, maybe unconstrained drug-fueled egomania isn't actually good for the economy... hard to say tho, let's see how this plays out

no amnesty

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

did this for the first time last fall—I moved some of my perennial containers where I raked the leaves under a tree (not too close to the trunk), insulating them. not only did we get some forgotten bulbs popping up under in early spring, we had no aphids this year and lots more moths and fireflies.

The next 10 days will be monumental, with elections in Serbia, Brazil, Israel and the US. This one was a victory for democracy.

Big news: Aleksandar Vučić has conceded defeat in Serbia’s snap parliamentary election, saying the student-backed Student List had won.

🧵Yesterday, British Columbia elected a Conservative majority government that ran on a platform of tax cuts and accelerating the pillaging of nature, or what the party calls “natural resources exploitation.” They also ran on attacking Indigenous sovereignty and trans rights.

Despite orders for polls to remain open for an extra two hours, results are already coming in, including from states with the strongest evidence of voter suppression, like Bahia. This will be a long night. What is happening is an unprecedented crime against democracy in Brazil.

The loon isn't alone!

How far back do we have to go to find a U.S. president as *openly* racist as this?

Excuse me? Eby’s campaign fail is cos he’s too smart and we’re too thick to understand legislative dysfunction? That’s some very “my biggest flaw is that I’m a perfectionist” energy, I hate it.

APTN’s Savanna Craig looks at systemic racism within the Montreal police force after two were suspended for inappropriate behavior and one of them for allegedly urinating on a homeless person.

"Permanent" is meaningless wordplay here. Temporary workers pay taxes that support social services, why shouldn't they receive them? It's not just an Alberta issue. There's a class action against Canada's federal govt for denying temporary farm workers EI. kmlaw.ca/cases/migran...

You can't clean up plastic once it's in the ocean You can't suck up fossil carbon once it's in the atmosphere You can't (quickly) regrow a forest once you've destroyed it Destruction needs to be addressed at source. It makes no sense to just damage everything and try to fix it afterwards

Incredible if predictable betrayal of public trust: you have industry lobbyists become appointees, exploit unitary executive theory to undermine environmental laws and ride roughshod over staff.

South Korea is betting big on clean energy with an ambitious plan to cut fossil fuel dependence. The plan would add 100 GW of renewables by 2030, accelerate EV adoption and cut emissions from heavy industry, all while improving energy security.

🇨🇦🇺🇸 Trump may lift some 50% tariffs on Canadian goods after pressure from Maine Republican Susan Collins. CBC reports that tariffs are hurting U.S. businesses and becoming a midterm election issue. Will electoral pressure bring lasting trade relief, or just selective exemptions?
