As we await the new US commitment on emissions reductions, we should keep two simple facts in mind: First, the US is responsible for 40% of global emissions in excess of the planetary boundary - more than any other nation or region by far.

A girls' school in Iran brought a member of the IRGC-run Basij paramilitary to speak to students. The girls welcomed the speaker by taking off their headscarves & chanting "get lost, Basiji". Teenage girls have been at the forefront of protests for days. xitter.cf/1500tasvir/status/1577…

In today’s session at the #BiodiversityBootcamp2021, guest expert @anoophilip shares tips on how to structure stories better while @LandConflicts’ @nihargokhale tells us how to perfect our pitches

How do you investigate stories that uncover the political economy of biodiversity conservation in India? @Kum_Sambhav @mukta_jo @nit_set tell us in today’s session of the #BiodiversityBootcamp2021

We are happy to announce the 20 journalists who will be participating in our month-long Bootcamp: Reporting On The Biodiversity Crisis In India.

There were few crucial weeks in Feb and March when cases were just starting to rise. Let’s zoom in on these four weeks and see how the early signals were missed, valuable time was lost and Indians were led to believe that they were immune to COVID. Thread 1/n

Indian Justice system..., an important commentary:

Benti to Sangat worldwide. Yes, Rihanna did well. Yes, Bollywood celebs are spineless. We do not need to spend another day discussing them, instead let’s help a Bhen ji Nodeep Kaur, activist who has spent 22 day’s inside Tihar Jail. Make Nodeep Kaur famous. #releasenodeepkaur

I’m going to do a slightly substantial thread in Sadanand Dhume’s piece for @WSJ because I am quite disturbed at the flex the debate is taking. The problems in the piece go far beyond a debate on how “gentle” the govt has been on the farmers. Thread. 👇🏽

#Thread The FIR against @GretaThunberg isn't a joke. @DelhiPolice claims the toolkit is proof of a "conspiracy". In the protests against the Islamophobic citizenship law CAA, the same police used a WhatsApp group as pretext to arrest scores of activists for "conspiracy" to riot!

We know the hashtag that got Sanghis knickers in a twist. Fact remains that what's being done by this fascist-corporate regime in name of farm laws will lead to structural genocide. What else happens when you wipe out food security in one of the poorest countries in the world?

Greta Thunberg FIR would be a joke anywhere in the world but not under Sanghi fascists. This will be Bhima Koregaon 2. They will implicate farm leaders, political dissidents, media, activists in Diaspora, and build some massive conspiracy case to legitimise a hunt under UAPA. 🤬

(Thread) @BloomsburyIndia is releasing a book on the Delhi Riots 2020 --- and guess who the Guest of Honours are: KAPIL MISHRA, the hate-monger and brain-child of goli maaron saalon ko (shoot the bastards) slogan, who explicitly called for violence against Muslims and Dalits.

The Indian State is killing #VaravaraRao. Where terrorists Babu Bajrangi & Pragya Thakur could get bail on medical grounds, then imprisoning this acclaimed poet on insubstantial grounds is akin to murder. #FreeVaravaraRao, let him get medical attention.

Many moons ago, in happier times, #VV with partner Hemalata & daughters Sahaja, Anala, Pavana. Who would have imagined that in his #80th, he would be behind bars & all women in the family pining for him to come home! Let these smiles return. Ensure #MedicalCare & #FreeVaravaraRao

"This is a platform of the marginalised, people from rural India and those who don't come from rich families. I hope there can be some settlement between the company and our government." #tiktokban thewire.in/culture/chinese-a…

Many cops suspended, transferred, kept on waiting list etc. Dear HC, please initiate a probe against Sathankulam magistrate and suspend him too.
