Free fares to continue until conditions change.
Given the threat that the fires and severe winds continue to pose to our region, I’ve authorized @metrolosangeles to continue free fares systemwide while these conditions exist.

#Turkey allows ‘go and see’ visits for #Syrian refugees, meaning refugees won’t lose their documentation if they visit #Syria to see if they can rebuild their life first. Nice move. #Europe take note.

The rapid buildout of Indonesia's nickel industry, including by Chinese companies, has a significant cost.

As I told @choiceaustralia, it is the responsibility of EV co's to ensure that they are using their leverage to demand higher standards, and to demand that the co's they're buying minerals from are not contributing to human rights abuses.

Yesterday was an historic day: the breaking open of Saydnaya Prison marks the end of an era of extreme violence, torture, starvation, and mass execution. Deeply moving images of survivors set free remind us of the conversations we had with a group of survivors eight years ago as part of our investigation into the notorious prison: forensic-architecture.org/in…. We discussed this very day, and imagined together what could be done with this dark heritage.
