President Droupadi Murmu: protect the people and the forest!
A dense forest teeming with life, and essential to India’s Indigenous Adivasi people, could soon become a military training range.
Tell President Murmu: Don’t let the army shoot up the Abujhmad forest.

Make private jets and luxury flights pay for climate justice
Billionaires fly tax-free while the planet burns — but a global summit in Spain could change that by taxing luxury air travel to fund climate justice.
Add your name to demand a climate solidarity tax on private jets and first-class flights — and make the ultra-rich pay their fair share.

Neue Studie untersucht „Realexperimente“
IMK: Kein empirischer Beleg dafür, dass weniger Feiertage das Wachstum stärken
In der Empirie gibt es keine Belege dafür, dass die Abschaffung von Feiertagen die Wirtschaftsleistung erhöht. Das zeigt die Analyse von konkreten Fällen, in denen in Deutschland beziehungsweise in einzelnen Bundesländern in den vergangenen 30 Jahren arbeitsfreie Feiertage gestrichen oder neu eingeführt wurden. In gut der Hälfte der Fälle entwickelte sich die Wirtschaft sogar danach in jenen Bundesländern besser, in denen arbeitsfreie Feiertage beibehalten wurden oder neu hinzukamen. Das ergibt eine neue Kurzstudie des Instituts für Makroökonomie und Konjunkturforschung (IMK) der Hans-Böckler-Stiftung.

Project 2025 June 18th Update - Global Project Against Hate and Extremism
This week, we look at how a Michigan librarian is standing her ground amidst threats and harassment from a member of Moms For Liberty, the Trump administration’s quashing of opposition to his deportation machine, and how Project 2025’s EPA policies are being enacted at the environment’s expense. We’ll also hear from Project 2025’s Kevin Roberts and Project 2025 supporter Charlie Kirk as they brazenly rail against immigration and multiculturalism, at times employing white supremacist terms as they shift the argument about immigration further to the right.

Wenn die Union damit durchkommt, ist das ein epochaler Skandal.
Man kann mitten in einer eskalierenden Katastrophe nicht Gelder,die zur Bekämpfung der Katastrophe eingeplant sind, stattdessen zur Beschleunigung der Katastrophe einsetzen.

World Whistleblower Day:
The cost of exposing facts in the age of misinformation - Transparency.org 16 June 2025
Whistleblowers are a powerful force for integrity and transparency. They bring to light hidden wrongdoing, expose abuse of power, and help hold institutions and individuals to account. But in today’s world, where misinformation and disinformation campaigns flourish, whistleblowers find themselves doubly vulnerable. They become targets of coordinated attacks designed to undermine their credibility, intimidate them into silence, and manipulate the narrative in the court of public opinion.

How the world’s rivers are releasing billions of tonnes of ‘ancient’ carbon - Carbon Brief 19 June 2025
The perception of how the land surface releases carbon dioxide (CO2) typically conjures up images of large-scale deforestation or farmers churning up the soil.
However, there is an intriguing – and underappreciated – role played by the world’s rivers.
