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.

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Palestinian Sumud in The Courts of The Occupier
As Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya appeared via video in the Israeli Supreme Court, I invite you to name what we’re actually seeing: resistance against a fascist apartheid regime, enabled by our governments.
How The World Cup in a Fascist Country Looks, and How Nothing Can Be Expected of FIFA
How the U.S. is treating athletes coming to compete in the World Cup would only be surprising to those who either don’t know too much about rise of fascism in the U.S., or the history of FIFA itself.
An Interview on Iran and Israel You Have to See
This is an absolute must-watch: Jeremy Scahill, one of the few journalists who interviews and is trusted by various actors, including the Iranian government, talks to Samir Mohyeddin about the U.S.-Iranian negotiations and Israel’s “fragile ceasefires” in Gaza and Lebanon. It’s a conversation good for our brains and conscience.
When Words Become Both The Representation And The Represented
The simplest propaganda technique – blatant lies – might be all that Israel and its supporters have left in their toolbox. Yet words with no meaning is what our leaders, too, have been resorting to for years now, following Israel itself.
Israel: The Only Country Whose Actions Never Represent Itself
If it is not its ministers, navy, police, prison guards, people marching on the streets, nor settlers protected by the army, who, then, actually represents Israel?
Updates On The Global Sumud Flotilla: Saif and Thiago Are Free
After their kidnapping and illegal detention in Israel, Saif Abu Keshek and Thiago Avila have been released. Our global pressure worked. But our work is far from over.
On The Global Sumud Flotilla, What The World with Israel in It Looks Like, And What It Does to Our Nervous Systems
To exist in the world where Israel, too, exists – to physically be and function in such a world – is hard on our nervous systems. The new horrors of the kidnapping of Thiago Avila and Saif Abu Keshek are yet another reminder of how that heaviness won’t go away, as long as Israel -…
How Did Jon Stewart Miss The Greatest Piece of Satire on His Show?
Here’s a reminder that choosing to interview someone who history – and, hopefully, the ICJ – will remember as a war criminal and a genocide enabler, like Annalena Baerbock, is very much not cool. Especially when you have a massive platform.
What, According to My Government, Other Countries Can Learn from Israel
This is the most straightforward way I can put it: just like there are countries in history known for their collaboration with the Nazi regime, my country, Lithuania, has inscribed itself as one of the staunchest supporters of Israel, no matter the scale, depravity, or geography of its crimes. See if my rage resonates with…
