Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
I drew this piece in Kyiv, and am selling prints to raise money for the humanitarian work of Solidarity Collectives in Ukraine

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet
Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."
The US is sanctioning judges among whose assignments is the legal reckoning with genocide.

“She found that people ingest an average of 39,000 to 52,000 microplastic particles per year from food and drinking water, and those who use bottled water on a daily basis ingest nearly 90,000 more microplastic particles into their bodies.”

Pale purple background. Headline in very dark blue reads: ‘I Was Destined to Do This Nonsense’: Siddhartha Lokanandi on Hopscotch Reading Room. Underneath is an illustration of Siddhartha. He is a Black man with gold-rimmed glasses, pictured in a black jumper.
As part of our Writing the Self, Writing Berlin series, @divyaghelani.bsky.social spoke with Siddhartha Lokanandi, founder of Hopscotch Reading Room, a Berlin-based English-language bookshop since 2017 and a haven for the intellectual – and political – bibliophile.

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.
We're launching our first ever fundraiser!
We have many amazing projects planned, and your support, no matter the amount, would ensure we can fully realize our vision of providing Kurdish literature with the platform it deserves.

Pangolins are one of the most trafficked animals in the world — and in decline.
The USFWS proposed to protect #pangolins under the ESA, a move that would firmly and finally close any U.S. market in these gravely imperiled animals.

When I get depressed about the magnitude of the climate crisis I visit the Cal ISO website to take a peek at what we were told in no uncertain terms by Very Important People was impossible just a decade ago.

At least eight gray whales have been killed by probable ship strikes so far in 2025 — and that's just in the Bay Area. It doesn't have to be like this.
We're launching a new lawsuit to help protect them from ship strikes in California. Learn more: biodiv.us/46uGlBf
Ukrainian society sounded a code red for the country's democracy on July 22, as the final votes were tallied on a bill in Ukraine's parliament that strips independence from anti-corruption bodies.
Win-win for the fossil fuel industry. AI drives both higher supply and higher demand (through vast energy needs of new hyper-scale data centres).
But Altman says it will 'fix the climate', somehow, so don't worry about it.
North Atlantic right whales are among the world's most endangered whale species. Only around 370 individuals remain.
Yet President Trump is considering slashing federal rules that protect North Atlantic right whales from the leading causes of their decline.

At school, we were repeatedly instructed to "sit still", and this became embedded in our lives as a cardinal virtue. We now know that sitting still is highly damaging to our health. Perhaps it's time we told children to do the opposite.

Copies of The Queen of Swords and Fox displayed on a scarf adorned with foxes. The Queen of Swords from Two Lines is one of my favorite books of 2025. Out in November. Fox from Open Letter is one if my all time favorite/I'd take it to a desert island books.
A screenshot of the letter sent to a small press terminating their NEA funding.
Last night a number of small presses including @twolinespress.bsky.social and @openletterbooks.bsky.social received this insane letter.
Please read small press books, recommend them, buy them, request from your library. The continuation of these publishers is vital!
A black wolf pup lying over a fallen log, looking upwards howling, with text overlay from the Center for Biological Diversity discussing habitat protection policies.
The Trump administration issued a proposed rule that would rescind nearly all habitat protections for endangered species nationwide.
You can't protect animals and plants from extinction without protecting the places they live.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.
I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe."
But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment.

I drew this picture of Golden Domed St Michael’s when I was in Kyiv in 2022. Ukrainians had turned the square in front into a graveyard for Russian tanks.
I’m selling prints to benefit Solidarity Collectives, Ukrainian anarchists doing humanitarian convoys

Fossil fuel companies should be forced to pay the public trillions in damages for the costs of their planetary arson. Instead they are trying to shut down one of the most important and storied environmental groups in the world. It's shameless - and it's not over. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
The single most important laboratory in climate science, the tool that is telling us the story of our time, is now in the MAGA crosshairs. Not surprising. But sad, stupid, and tragic in the saddest and stupidest and most tragic way.
Here's a major source of microplastics in soils.
Other sources, astonishingly, include the *deliberate application* of microplastics, to make soils more friable, and the plastic pellets in which many fertilisers are encased.
It is simply crazy and must stop now.

Three days ago, Donald Trump openly threatened to kill all of ‘the people of Gaza’ and it wasn’t even a story. No consequences. The media, the world, just moved on.
