[ad_1] Vijay Prashad, BreakThrough News. The young people in the streets are not asking merely to survive inside the cracks of a decaying system. They want to live, to work, to use what they have learned, and to contribute to society with dignity. On July 20, thousands of young people attempted to march from Jantar Mantar to Parliament. They carried placards, shouted slogans, and demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over repeated examination irregularities, paper leaks, cancelled tests, and the government’s refusal to accept responsibility for the devastation inflicted upon students. The Delhi Police answered them with…

[ad_1] There is probably a camera on a pole at the entrance to your neighborhood. You’ve probably stopped noticing it. It is small, solar-powered, unremarkable, and it photographs every car that passes: yours, your neighbor’s, your teenager’s. And it reads the license plate, logs the time, and files the record in a national database. The company that owns it is called Flock Safety.

[ad_1] Dania Akkad Declassified UK Late last July, as a famine unfolded in Gaza and Israeli settler attacks intensified in the West Bank, Wes Streeting texted a friend shortly before midnight. “Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes,” the then health secretary told Peter Mandelson over WhatsApp. “Their government talks the languages of ethnic cleansing and I have met with our own medics out there who describe the most chilling and distressing scenes of calculated brutality against women and children.” In messages that Streeting released earlier this year, he went on to tell Peter Mandelson, then U.K. ambassador to the U.S.,…

The global climate system is full of teetering tipping points that collectively threaten the climate system with radical change. But it’s the change itself, the transition to a tipping point, that is most chaotic. This is climate free fall in America today, dangerously exposing the country to risks overlooked by policy decision-makers. Climate free fall has been identified by Anders Kevernann, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Germany, Professor of the Dynamics of the Climate System at Institute for Physics and…

[ad_1] A chilling form of authoritarianism has taken deep root across America. Its purveyors claim their high positions make them uniquely qualified to guide the nation. Rejecting the give-and-take of traditional politics, they cast their work as an unassailable sacred trust, delegitimizing those who challenge their views through fearmongering and naked dishonesty. That’s how legions of President Trump’s critics would describe the administration’s widespread efforts aimed at rooting out DEI in the telling of America’s history in agencies ranging from the Pentagon to the Smithsonian. It is, however, an even better description of what Trump is pushing back against; namely,…

[ad_1] News Desk, The Cradle. New satellite images show that the barrier has allowed occupation forces to now control 65 percent of the strip. According to satellite imagery released on 21 July, the Israeli army is constructing a ground barrier extending hundreds of meters beyond the so-called “Yellow Line” in the occupied and besieged Gaza Strip, effectively partitioning the enclave and deepening its military presence there. Satellite imagery shows Israeli occupation forces building 23km-long barrier to permanently partition Gaza——Israeli occupation forces are rapidly constructing a massive earthen barrier inside Gaza, further entrenching their division of the besieged enclave, according to……
