I love it in here. There's currently a hashtag named #thicktrunktuesday that is basically pics of massive, beautiful trees.
I humbly submit El Tule, an incredible ahuehuete from the state I was born, Oaxaca. It's over 2000 years old. "Tule" means "Tree of Enlightment" #Oaxaca #Mexico #ElTule It has the thickest trunk in the world.

I wrote an article diving into the statistics on far-right extremist violence compared to far-left extremist violence, and to say the least, it’s not a “both sides” problem. An estimated 75% of extremist killings in the US over the past decade are attributed to far-right extremists, compared to 4% attributed to far-left extremists — and that’s on the high end of the estimates for far-left extremist violence.

Violent extremism in America is a far-right phenomenon

The stats are irrefutable. Trying to make it a "both sides" issue just distracts from the real deadly threat — which comes from the far-right.

Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Global South Perspectives on International Tax Reform. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.

Although initially hopeful at the prospect of real progress in international tax reform, the international tax justice movement has drawn attention to severe problems in the OECD-led reform process, including a bias towards Global North institutions and states. Crucially, a number of very concerning criticisms were raised about the content and mechanisms of the deal that is now being implemented. Now, as the OECD plan stalls in implementation and the calls for a UN-based alternative pick up momentum, a key priority is to firmly establish a unified assessment and critique of the OECD-led push that can help ground the discussions on alternatives from a Global South perspective; to move to a pragmatic discussion on the path forward. To this end, we have compiled an extensive research report titled Global South Perspectives on International Tax Reform. This report serves as an overview of the international tax reform process from the perspective of Global South countries with large extractive sectors, drawing on the recent explosion of original research conducted by Global South experts and activists on this topic. This webinar will begin with a brief presentation outlining the key findings of the report, followed by a panel discussion on the major themes discussed - including the recent UN resolution for intergovernmental tax cooperation put forward by the Africa Group.

“Just a day after Tim Pool blamed the victims of the Club Q shooting by having a "grooming event," Elon Musk is palling around with Tim Pool. ELON is implicitly endorsing the calls for violence against LGBTQ people.”
