Just 57 companies linked to 80% of greenhouse gas emissions since 2016
This powerful cohort of state-controlled corporations and shareholder-owned multinationals are the leading drivers of the climate crisis, according to the Carbon Majors Database, which is compiled by world-renowned researchers. Although governments pledged in Paris to cut greenhouse gases, the analysis reveals that most mega-producers increased their output of fossil fuels and related emissions in the seven years after that climate agreement, compared with the seven years before.

Colombia’s congress sinks Petro’s flagship healthcare reform
The sunk healthcare reform sought to dramatically change the role of the EPS’s in an attempt to secure people’s timely access to healthcare and payments to actual health providers. The proposal was opposed by the far-right opposition, and liberal and conservative parties that are neither part of the opposition nor the progressive coalition. Many of these parties received donations from the EPS’s or their parent companies in the 2022 congressional elections, according to local media.

FAA Bill Includes 'Test Flight' for Banning Student Loan Forgiveness
Buried 1,000 pages in, the language flagged by the Debt Collective comes under the heading, "Prohibition on mass cancellation of eligible undergraduate flight education and training programs loans." "The secretary, the secretary of the treasury, or the attorney general may not take any action to cancel or forgive the outstanding balances, or portion of balances, on any federal direct unsubsidized Stafford loan, or otherwise modify the terms or conditions of a federal direct unsubsidized Stafford loan, made to an eligible student, except as authorized by an act of Congress," the text reads.

Black Man Charged With DUI After Police Open Sealed Bottle, Then Cite Container In Arrest
A search of the car yielded no marijuana, before Oliver discovers a small sealed bottle of liquor that she then opens with an audible noise of the seal cracking on camera. A sound of pouring can be heard on her body camera, and another body camera worn by a second officer shows her dumping the liquid out. Oliver then threw the bottle back into the car. Body camera footage appears to show Oliver implying to the second officer that the bottle was open and the contents were in a thermos inside Riley’s vehicle.

Kentucky governor vetoes nuclear energy legislation due to the method of selecting board members
The governor’s criticism focused on the method to select voting members on the Kentucky Nuclear Energy Development Authority, which would nurture the development of nuclear power. Many of the members would be designated by private sector groups, bypassing the appointment authority of the governor or other state constitutional officers, Beshear said.

Colbert’s message to Netanyahu after World Central Kitchen deaths: ‘Consider ending the war’
“This happens in war,” Netanyahu said in a statement, vowing to conduct a “thorough inquiry” into the “tragic event.” “Nothing just ‘happens,'” Colbert said in response to Netanyahu’s remarks. “You are responsible. If your answer is, ‘This happens in war,’ then maybe consider ending the war, because this is not an isolated incident,” Colbert said to applause from the audience.

The People of Van Are Not Alone! Kurdistan’s People Will Win! – HBDH
AKP-MHP fascism suffered a heavy blow in the March 31 local elections. Fascism was defeated against the will of the people, despite using all kinds of state means. Especially in Kurdistan, the people’s choice of the Dem Party and the recapture of the municipalities usurped by trustees created a great shock for the fascist power. In the post-election speech of the fascist Erdogan, the threats of invasion against Bashur Kurdistan and Rojava are strongly felt. In this respect, the practice of seizing the elected municipalities of the people is not independent from this dirty war mentality. A total war policy is being implemented by fascism against the Kurdish people and the municipalities are threatened with seizure, which is within the scope of the war concept.

Water industry in crisis – Make the bosses pay!
Thames Water – the UK’s biggest water distributor, serving 15 million households – is facing imminent collapse. The company is in the throes of a scandalous debt crisis, after its biggest shareholders, the Macquarie investment group, left it laden with £14 billion in debt, all while pocketing juicy dividends. After sucking the company dry, shareholders are now pulling the plug on further funding, complaining that investment is no longer profitable. Thames Water has until next year to find new investors. After that, the company is sailing into uncharted waters. Outrageously, Thames bosses have said that bills must be hiked up by 40%, in order to keep the company afloat and pay for much-needed improvements. Another firm, Southern Water, has forecast for bills to go up by 70%! In other words, the working class will be made to foot the bill for the shareholders’ reckless mismanagement and pillaging, squeezing ordinary households’ living standards even further.

Rosa Luxemburg Peace Utopias [Abstract]
WHAT is our task in the question of peace? It does not consist merely in vigorously demonstrating at all times the love of peace of the Social Democrats; but first and foremost our task is to make clear to the masses of people the nature of militarism and sharply and clearly to bring out the differences in principle between the standpoint of the Social Democrats and that of the bourgeois peace enthusiasts. Wherein does this difference lie? Certainly not merely in the fact that the bourgeois apostles of peace are relying on the influence of fine words, while we do not depend on words alone. Our very points of departure are diametrically opposed: the friends of peace in bourgeois circles believe that world peace and disarmament can be realised within the frame-work of the present social order, whereas we, who base ourselves on the materialistic conception of history and on scientific socialism, are convinced that militarism can only be abolished from the world with the destruction of the capitalist class state. From this follows the mutual opposition of our tactics in propagating the idea of peace.
