They’re deporting Khalil because of his views. Anyone who disagrees with them — absolutely anyone — is now at risk.

If they can’t afford well closures and site cleanup, or to put up deposits to guarantee same, these companies should not be operating.
Why do contractors extend credit to them??

G20 leaders all agree that the super-rich should pay their fair share. This is a major historic shift.
The people have spoken. The leaders have listened.
For the first time in history, G20 leaders agree that the super-rich need to be taxed.

🔴 Eni has pressed charges against @atricarico72 of ReCommon for defamation in relation to statements he made during the RAI programme @reportrai3 on air last 5th of May.
The accusation against Tricarico appears to be yet another attempt to silence an uncomfortable voice, which also follows the recent lawsuit that Eni has filed against ReCommon and @Greenpeace_ITA.
During the tv programme, Tricarico had highlighted the overlap in the timing of Eni's awarding of the licence to develop the Zohr gas field in 🇪🇬 and the dramatic Regeni affair.
A fact-based assertion, which was widely supported again in RAI programme Report on 17th of November, in which confidential Eni documents reiterated Tricarico's assertion.

Ben Wikler should be the next head of the DNC. That's a fighting choice. Someone who has demonstrated the kind of persistent and effective party building and infrastructure building that generates results. Dems didn't win Wisconsin this year. But it was the closest ...

Imagine if Suncor Energy used all that excess cash to invest in clean energy rather than return it to shareholders & then demand that Canadian taxpayers pay to clean up its pollution. We are in a fossil fuel climate crisis after all. #COP29 theglobeandmail.com/business…

Today, 29 years ago, Ken Saro Wiwa & his associates were murdered.
Shell had a key role in their murder. They sat in court and observed the kangaroo trial that sentenced them to hang.
Ken’s crime was demanding that Shell cleans their pollution and leave.
We refuse to forget.

I've long rejected the accelerationist idea the change requires a crushing defeat for the lib establishment. You don't start winning more by losing bigger. Too many real people suffer in the fallout. But here we are. This is a white hot clarifying fire. Waking up ready to rebuild
