Representative Adelita Grijalva went to lunch and came across an ICE raid. Even after telling them she was a member of congress, the thugs pepper sprayed her.
Her question: if they treat a member of congress this way, how are they treating the defenseless people they kidnap?
The Cerrado, a vast tropical savannah roughly the size of Western Europe, is home to 5% of the world’s plant and animal species
Our new report shows how financial corporations linked to agribusiness are fueling a crisis that is destroying the Cerrado in Brazil

“We cannot have climate adaptation, climate mitigation or climate justice without recognition and demarcation of Indigenous Peoples territories.”
Brazil is the world’s sixth-largest greenhouse gas emitter, with agriculture responsible for roughly 74% of domestic emissions
Yet Brazil’s agribusiness groups are working aggressively to cast its farming sector as climate-friendly at #COP30
It's not.

We took to the waters, where rivers meet in Belém, Brazil for the #PeoplesSummit
By the thousands, we're gathering alongside members of feminist, peasant, Indigenous and environmental movements from across Brazil, Latin America and the world to demand an end to environmental racism and inequality
This week hundreds of people have joined an Indigenous-led protest at #COP30 in Brazil
"We can't eat money. We want our lands free from agribusiness, oil exploration, illegal miners and illegal loggers.”

Indigenous people at #COP30 want change and power, not just visibility.

At the FFD4 summit, a term you hear tossed around with abandon is “the finance gap” – that is, the shortage of money needed to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
So here is a modest Proposal to Prevent Tropical Deforestation: Tax the Billionaires

The Senate GOP passed the largest wealth transfer in US history yesterday.
It includes a $975 billion income tax break for the 1%, the largest cut to food stamps in history, and a 60% increase in the number of uninsured Americans.
This is a dramatic escalation in class warfare.
Mining, oil & gas and industrial agribusiness drive 90% of forest & biodiversity destruction.
If the incentives don’t change, the outcomes won’t change either. We're at the UN Conference on Financing for Development this week fighting for our forests.

New blog by Jeff Conant of @foeus.bsky.social, part of the Forests & Finance Coalition:
At the UN’s FF4D summit in Seville, he lays bare how the global financial system fuels climate collapse, deforestation, and inequality—wrapped in empty promises.

(next to an image of Trump wearing a crown that has been crossed out) NO KINGS MASS PROTEST JUNE 14, 2025
June 14 is Trump’s birthday and his military parade in DC — but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. Join our nationwide day of defiance to show that organized people power is stronger than Trump’s authoritarian aspirations: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
Turns out Elon Musk’s villainous efforts working for Donald Trump have cost him 25% of his total wealth.
That's one thing to celebrate from the first 100 days.
A tweet by Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25 ) reads: "He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. Don’t you see what’s happening here?"
I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.
Nature & biodiversity decrease at a slower rate on Indigenous lands — yet these areas are facing threats from harmful development.

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.
Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."
Trump posted: ‘All federal funding will STOP for any college, school, or university that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS!’
This is authoritarianism in real time.
The protests keep coming across the U.S. and in DC.
💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest
