Trump froze $2.2 billion in Harvard’s funding because they wouldn’t bow to his threats. That’s funding for cancer research, Alzheimer's disease, ALS, and more that the President is holding hostage. This is textbook extortion – period. Harvard isn’t caving, and neither will we. washingtonpost.com/education…

No solid science. No moral reason.

They want you to think that protecting nature will make us all poorer, sicker and sadder.
It's a lie - as Costa Rica proves.
The Central American country’s extraordinary push to protect its rainforests and nature made its people happier, healthier and wealthier. Here’s how. 🧵

2/ @CarbonBubble assessed 30 of the world’s largest upstream oil & gas companies against 6 critical metrics.
The verdict:
- No company is Paris-aligned
- Many are backsliding
- Some are locking in long-term fossil growth

1/ 10 years since the Paris Agreement, oil & gas producers are not just misaligned — they’re betting on failure.
Carbon Tracker’s Paris Maligned III is a brutal scorecard for the fossil fuel sector.

This new study found a flaw in most econometric analyses of future damages from climate change. They used a different modelling approach that incorporates global economic interconnectedness, and found when you do this, projected damages are much greater than originally estimated.
“I need to keep on hoping, so I can keep going for as long as I have the power to do so... So, I can look into my son’s beautiful brown eyes as the realisation of what’s at stake continues to dawn on him, and tell him honestly: ‘I did my best. I tried'”

We stand with @BritishQuakers in condemning yesterday’s meeting house police raid.
Quakers have always held space for discussing moral issues. This raid is a violation of civil liberties and a desecration of a place of worship.
A full apology is needed.

Do we trust fast food moguls with the nation's health ? Or industrial pig farmers ?

Dr Diana Warner who halted a train bound for the UK's biggest power station said "A small amount of disruption in order to save lives was a choice I made. It was more effective than the 30 years of campaigning I'd done before."
