Our world is on fire and under water at the same time.
We’re living with hard-to-perceive floods, intensifying hurricanes, expanding droughts, and deadlier heat waves.
I’m not here to convince you that climate change – or, rather, our climate emergency – is real. I’m leaving that to the droughts, wildfires, floods, hurricanes, and rising sea levels to do that.
Instead, I give you three questions to keep in mind when we deconstruct the debates around what we’re doing to our planet. These questions both shape the narrative and, in a way, they become the narrative itself:
- Production vs Consumption
- Non-military vs Military pollution
- The Global South vs The Global North
These are not conspiracy theories. Yet they are not often discussed by the mainstream media (also known as businesses).
Please enjoy it, share it if you find it valuable, and find more information on all of it in my article here.

There is no ‘fragile ceasefire’ when children’s bodies continue to be laid on dirty, destroyed hospital floors.
How Football Reminded Us about Two Parallel Worlds Recently — And Invited Us to Choose One
People like to talk about teams: “What team are you on?” In my video about two football matches that happened recently in Spain and Lithuania, quite literally, there are two teams. You can either be with those who organise a charity game for the people currently undergoing genocide, or you can be with those who…
How Talking About Ecocide in Palestine Helps Us Better Describe What Is Being Done — And By Whom Exactly
To describe Israel’s complete annihilation of Gaza better, I invite you to add one more word to your vocabulary: ecocide. Not to by any means diminish the horrors of the intentional massacres committed, but to expand the definition of this total destruction.
Israel Is Bombing Gaza Again (The Coloniser Continues to Colonise)
Israel won’t stop until it’s stopped. It will colonise, occupy, dominate, and murder until it cannot do so. This exactly what its new airstrikes on Gaza show, and it is exactly why our solidarity work remains important.
To What “Peacetime” We Might Be Seeing Palestine Return
It is clear that Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan promises anything but peace if justice, equality, and accountability are not there. Interestingly, it is exactly the hollow “peace” Palestine knew before October 2023. In my episode, I talk about the gruesome events of the past weeks and how they echo what “peacetime” in Palestine was before.…
An Absolute Must-Watch Interview with Jeremy Scahill on The Gaza Ceasefire Deal
When it comes to Gaza ceasefire negotiations, I can’t think of a better person than Jeremy Scahill whose analysis we should all listen to and amplify. Please join me in doing that.
One Simple Thing That Palestine Has Shown Us — And From Where There Is No Way Back

The Global Sumud Flotilla Is Not Only Being Intercepted — It’s Showing How The Whole World Is Held Hostage by One Fascist Regime
