- The USA federal government starts to exhibits textbook fascist elements. Descents into hell can go fast. That is extremely worrying, and depressing, for the whole planet. The extraordinary courage and dedication of the local governments that are resisting need to be praised.

- Tala Guilef, Kabylie 🇩🇿 Back after 35+ years. Happy to see the cedar forest still seemingly thriving. Sadly, many cedar forests across North Africa are under human pressure and accelerating climate change. Hard not to mourn what may be lost. 🌲 #Kabylie #Algeria #AtlasCedar #Forests #ClimateChange
- The Djudjura Mountains in Kabylie, Algeria, last week. Little snow on the summits for the season — but heavy snowfall arrived this week. ❄️🏔️ #Djudjura #Kabylie #Algeria #AtlasMountains #Snow #Winter #Mountains #NaturePhotography #Landscape

- Merci @linguisticae.com Beaucoup (la plupart?) qui regardent Quotidien ne se rendent probablement pas compte de ce qui cloche. Et c'est ainsi que les discriminations s'entretiennent dans la société, aussi par les médias, dans ce cas justement au lieu d'informer. www.youtube.com/shorts/882Dl...
- Reposted by Farid Ait ChaalalIt’s simply not possible to overstate how important NCAR is to US and world science. We need to fight this with everything we’ve got.
- Reposted by Farid Ait ChaalalNCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.

- As a French and British citizen, I am ashamed of both the French and British governments for the way they have responded the horrors in Gaza. Sanctions against Israel should have been imposed many months ago. And yet, nothing. Just blah-blah.

- Ludicrous. This new law is disgraceful. If Palestine Action has done unlawful acts, there were existing laws to prosecute them. Labelling them as terrorists is a dystopian attack on basic free speech and is political censorship.

- Words only words. Quite laughable. EU should have taken action over 18 months ago when horrendous war crimes were already committed and when it was already clear where this was going. They are nothing short of complicit of the destruction of Gaza, of its culture, of its people (and as is the UK).

While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.
