In a landmark global victory, the International Court of Justice has ruled that governments must step up and protect our right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment.

The ICJ emphasised that in addition to fulfilling the promises made in the Paris Agreement in 2015, governments must use all means at their disposal to reduce their emissions and meet the 1.5C goal, including regulation of polluting corporations...

Well well well... whaddya know... pork-barrel #politics works. Putting #battery factories in #GOP constituencies indeed protected them from cuts. If only instead of the IRA they had passed the BBB where they could have spent far more on #solar #wind #EV

Climate chaos is already fuelling hunger.

Extreme heat and floods are wrecking crops, driving food prices up, and hitting the poorest hardest.

This isn’t just a climate crisis. It’s a justice crisis.

πŸ€” Why is a climate group at Pride?
‼️ Because the fight for climate justice is the fight for queer liberation.

🌱 Climate breakdown hits hardest where systems are already unjust. That means BIPoC, queer, trans and disabled people often face the most harm: From rising rents and heatwaves to forced migration and lost livelihoods. A safe future must be one where everyone is safe.

Flash floods and super typhoons are the new normal of our times.⁣

Hong Kong witnessed its strongest typhoon of the year, with winds blowing at 135km/h, and 180 lives were lost in Pakistan due to torrential rains.⁣
A series of flash floods occurred in India, South Korea, New York, and Texas, USA.⁣

#DisasterDon has been in office 6 months as of noon EST. 😞

And in that six months, we've seen masked thugs with no identification snatching anyone with brown skin & an accent off the streets (many WHILE following the law, doing their jobs or attending their #immigration hearing) and #deport-ing them to be tortured in a South American gulag in #ElSalvador.

#Inflation is up. #Gas prices are up. The #Debt & #Deficit are up. #Unemployment is going back up. And #ComboverCaligula declares success.

I'm quite enjoying watching #MAGA tear itself apart over The #Epstein Files (or claimed lack-thereof.)

On #FnS, they started with a discussion over a recent report on "the fallout over the Butler assassination attempt [on T****]", but it quickly shifted to the "Nothing to see here" announcement from #BlondieBondi regarding The Epstein Files.

DESPITE the conversation quickly veering into the wall, for the next several minutes, they continued to show images from the Butler rally.

#PuppyKillerNoem is on #MtP defending her response to the #Kerrville Flood [72 hours later], saying over & over again that resources "were deployed AS SOON AS THEY WERE REQUESTED within hours."

#FEMA shouldn't be waiting for a *request* for help before it's sent. #HeckOfAJobKristi 🀬

I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE!

I had to switch off #MeetTheRepublicans as host #KristenWelker let #PuppyKillerNoem simply spew lie after lie after lie without any push back.

#Noem claimed #ICE is only going after "the worst of the worst" (while they are arresting Cleaning Ladies, Farm Workers and people showing up for their #Immigration Hearings), and lying about the conditions at #AlligatorAuschwitz (tents in #Florida in mid-hurricane season.)

TV OFF (I'll resume with #ThisWeek in an hour.)

#SundayShowdown

#ChrisCristie on #ThisWeek regarding #BlondieBondi's denying the existence of any #Epstein Files #ClientList:

"Donald T**** started this fire." He "promised transparency" and the release of everything from The #JFK Investigation to #TheEpsteinFiles, and now his own supporters are accusing him of being part of a #DeepState #Coverup.

"Donald T**** was one of the most successful... if not THE most successful businessman of the 20th Century." - #DonTheCon's Trade Advisor Kevin Hasset. πŸ™„ #Gaslighting

(He went on to defend a steep 50% #tariff on #Brazil despite a Trade SURPLUS, citing #MafiaDon being upset over their treatment of their former #dictator #Bolsonaro.)

@MugsysRapSheet The guy who *might* have had a billion dollars at the time of his first election is more successful than the handful multibillionaires whose financial backing he begged for?

What's the definition of success exactly? And maybe a definition of "businessman" would help too?

@gooba42
I mean, just how insane is it for #Hasset... who is well aware of megabillionaires like Musk, Bezos & Zuckerberg... trying to claim #MafiaDon might actually have been "THE most successful businessman of the 20th century"? #GMAFB #Gaslighting #TooStupidForPolitics
@MugsysRapSheet Remember it's spelled $Trumpstein
