Facing "a code red for humanity," world leaders gather next week at COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland to try to save a planet we've been fouling and stripping and plundering for decades. In a special update reflecting the "now or never" moment, the Oxford English Dictionary said it now lists "climate crisis" for the first time - also "eco-anxiety," referenced 565% more this year - and a climate non-profit released a series of visualizations showing how far underwater your city could be to emphasize the pivotal issue: "Do you choose Door A or do you choose Door B?

Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
