Tragically, it’s not an exaggeration to say that we need all hands on deck if we want to preserve this planet and everyone on it.
Have you seen who the ones in power are? How much would you bet that they care about humanity?
As Iran and Lebanon are being destroyed, in addition to the daily murders in Gaza and the daily terrorism in the West Bank, you should have zero doubts that your antiwar voice matters.
Because what we’re up against is a well-oiled (no pun intended) war propaganda machine that not everyone is still immune to. We have to see how blatant it is, how uniform, how predictable (and then, how destructive).
In this short episode, I invite you to amplify the voices that deconstruct it, and see how important it is to BE that voice yourself.
Also, in case you’ve missed it, it was World Water Day this weekend. My message on it was and is very simple:
You’ve got to love this world.
You’ve got to love its rivers.
You’ve got to love its oceans.
You’ve got to love its lakes.
You’ve got to love its people.
You’ve got to love its children — and to want them protected 💔
This can’t be more urgent: we have to stop the war machine and invest in life-affirming policies, including those needed to mitigate and adapt to what the UN is already calling ‘water bankruptcy’.
Here’s my own short video to celebrate it and to remind our government of what they should invest in.
The love for this planet is exactly what Abby Martin, one of my favourite journalists, talks about in an interview I can’t recommend highly enough.
Watch a short clip from it here. Remember why to raise our antiwar voices is as important as ever before ❤️

Good News: We Are on a Boat Ride Together; Bad News: It’s Being Steered by Psychopaths
We’re on a boat steered by psychopaths — and they’re not taking us anywhere nice. As the U.S. and Israel are destroying Lebanon and Iran, one thing can’t be clearer: it is the whole world that has to make them stop.
There Are Those Who Celebrate Women’s Day and Cheer for the Bombing of Schools
Using the “liberation of women” is not new when it comes to justifying the unjustifiable. Notice how it is used again in Iran, including by those who are known to intentionally harm women and children.
