#ClimateChange is fueling disasters, increasing concerns
"Experts say the #TexasWildfires highlighted the dangers natural disasters could pose to America's widespread #NuclearWeapons and energy networks. Eleven states are home to nuclear weapons, 28 to #NuclearPowerPlants and spent #NuclearFuel storage.
"In Texas, the fire's flames were spread by strong winds, dry conditions and unseasonably high temperatures, which broke records across the country — just the kind of conditions that experts have long warned are more likely as Earth warms.
"'We need more attention on the nexus of climate and nuclear,' said Kwong.
"Climate change effects have already caused nuclear concerns around the world: 'Places like #NorthKorea and #Pakistan are already facing these threats,' said Kwong.
"North Korea has experienced increases in #typhoons, #droughts and #flooding, according to the Royal United Services Institute, a United Kingdom-based defense think tank.
"In 2022, massive flooding covered more than one-third of the nation of Pakistan, affecting more than 33 million people."

"As political pressure mounts in the US to meet #NetZero carbon goals, the #NuclearPower industry makes its case for a nuclear 'renaissance.' This documentary by NECESSITY director Jan Haaken follows activists as they expose the true costs of the new small nuclear reactor designs."
"Gruppi sionisti come Canary Mission e Antisemitism.org , individuano coloro che nei campus hanno opinioni filo-palestinesi.
Le università si trovano quindi ad affrontare pressioni politiche e da parte dei donatori per censurare i professori presi di mira."
"Sembra che il nostro tentativo di fare tutto il possibile per informare il mondo sulla nostra sofferenza non sia sufficiente.
Da più di 200 giorni scopriamo fosse comuni sparse per tutta Gaza.
Da più di 200 giorni sfuggiamo ad attacchi implacabili
Da più di 200 giorni, i bambini nascono sotto il ronzio minaccioso degli aerei, e donne e bambini patiscono sofferenze indescrivibili per mano dell’esercito israeliano."

"Ci hanno detto che avevamo dieci giorni per demolire la casa, mi chiamano e mi dicono di demolirla.
Devo affrontare tutto questo mentre mio figlia è in condizioni critiche. Nessuno ci aiuta. Non abbiamo nessuna protezione, nessun diritto.
Vogliono demolire l'unica casa che abbiamo."
Caro Presidente #Biden, le sta bene che i coloni israeliani usino armi americane?🧵1
"Queste armi sono utilizzate da un regime di intimidazione, terrore ed espropriazione parallelo a quello dell'esercito, un regime stabilito in Cisgiordania da cittadini dello Stato e dai suoi agenti."

The "Turtle Island" marathon tour of this worldwide unique film festival on all #nuclear topics and #radioactive dangers includes more than 10 cities in 9 states.
#KleeBenally, #Diné artist, activist and filmmaker, died suddenly on December 30, 2023, just days after completing his designs for the 2024 IUFF tour of North America and the Window Rock festival. We are so sad about Klee's death! Our hearts are with him.
OMG! Dit is dus ironie 101! Dus de politie gebruikt een wapen als waarschuwing tegen demonstranten die demonstreren tegen een wapenbeurs. Omdat ze denken dat een 15-jarige mede-demonstrant (tegen wapens) een wapen heeft. Dit is zo fucked up! Ik kan hier echt niet bij. 😵💫
Rijnmond: Aanhoudingen en waarschuwingsschot bij 'grimmig' protest tegen wapenbeurs in Ahoy
"… De politie heeft in de lucht geschoten op het plein voor Ahoy. De politie kreeg de melding dat bij iemand in een groepje omstanders mogelijk een vuurwapen was gezien. Een 15-jarige jongen rende weg en volgde aanwijzingen niet op. Daarna werd een waarschuwingsschot gelost om hem aan te houden. Bij het fouilleren van de 15-jarige jongen trof de politie een aansteker aan dat erg op een vuurwapen lijkt. De jongen is meegenomen voor een goed gesprek en de aansteker is in beslag genomen. …"
P.S. Ik had trouwens hier graag bij willen zijn, maar zoals ik al eerder zei mijn nekhernia-achtige klachten houden mij aan huis gekluisterd. Daar baal ik van, ook voor de anti-PVV en pro-Palestina demo's, maar het is zoals het is. I will be back on the streets!

"A fast-moving wildfire burning through the Texas Panhandle grew into the second-largest blaze in state history Wednesday, forcing evacuations and triggering power outages as firefighters struggled to contain the widening flames.
"The sprawling blaze was part of a cluster of fires that burned out of control and threatened rural towns, where local officials spent the night shutting down roads and urging residents to leave their homes. The largest of the fires — which grew to nearly 800 square miles — jumped into parts of neighboring Oklahoma and remained completely uncontained as dawn broke, according to the Texas A&M Forest Service.
"Authorities have not said what ignited the fires, but strong winds, dry grass and unseasonably warm temperatures have fed the blazes. Near Borger, a community of about 13,000 people, emergency officials at one point late Tuesday answered questions from panicked residents during a Facebook livestream and told them to get ready to leave if they had not already."
We #Anonymous hate all acts of war, genocide, racism, and fascism. Acts of war and genocide all over the world must stop now.
We are pacifists. #NoWar #ceasefireNowPermanently Please act now.
Acts of aggression cannot be resolved by force.
"Le forze israeliane prendono sistematicamente di mira le case palestinesi durante le incursioni militari nella Cisgiordania occupata."
Case, ma anche scuole e asili, demolite, bruciate, vandalizzate…
"Oltre alla perdita immediata del loro rifugio e dei loro beni, i bambini sperimentano una vasta gamma di traumi psicologici ed emotivi. Assistere alla distruzione delle loro case ed essere sfollati con la forza contribuisce a creare un profondo senso di insicurezza, ansia e paura."
