How Bill Gates is playing both sides of the climate crisis – video
Think Bill Gates is fixing the climate crisis? Not if you follow the money. While he funds green innovation and talks about cutting emissions, Gates also invests in dirty industries such as coal, oil and private jets. In this episode, Neelam Tailor exposes how one of the world’s most powerful climate voices is betting on both sides of the crisis – and making a lot of money in the process
like this
Both? Both sides? Both sides of the climate crisis? My dudes, nobody gets to go live on the Sun under its protection, not even with all the money. There's one side to the climate crisis, and we're all on it.
Oh, I see. He's making money pretending to invest in green technologies, and he's making money polluting the environment. That's the "both sides" they meant. Except those two industries are still both on the same side of the equation. It's like we're all on the Titanic, and Gates is spreading towels over deck chairs AND sitting at a table by the bar, like "Oh no! A guy with all the money is being greedy and dishonest. What should we do?"

Federal vs Local Control: What does Trumps Crackdown on D.C. Law Enforcement look like?
What do clashes like this tell us about the balance between public safety, local autonomy, and executive power in the U.S.?
"In August of 2025, President Trump invoked Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act, declaring a ‘public safety emergency’ in Washington, D.C after citing rampant crime. Under this order, he could place the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) under federal control for 30 days. Between August 11 and September 10, over 2,000 National Guard troops were deployed alongside local forces to patrol the streets. During this time, over 40% of the arrests made in D.C. were immigration-related."

Exclusive: Mother of Hind Rajab Evacuated From Gaza

Wissam Hamada, the mother of Hind Rajab, and several members of her family safely evacuated from Gaza to a third country on Thursday after protracted negotiations with the state of Israel for her release, a source involved in the exfiltration told Drop Site.Five-year-old Hind was killed by Israeli soldiers in January 2024, along with six other members of her family in Gaza City. Her killing made global headlines after a recording of her call with Palestinian emergency dispatchers pleading to be rescued was posted online.
On January 29, 2024, the car Hind was in was shot at by the Israeli military, killing her uncle, aunt, and three cousins. Relatives called the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) in Ramallah seeking help. When a team member called the number provided, Hind’s 15-year-old cousin, Layan Hamada, the only other survivor in the car, picked up. Layan told them there was an Israeli tank nearby shooting at them. Layan can be heard screaming amid the sound of intense machine gun fire, after which, the call went dead. The rescue team called the phone back, and Hind answered, telling them that Layan had been shot and killed, she had been injured, and everyone in the car was dead. She said she could see the tank and that it was getting closer.

Italy sends second warship to protect flotilla – but asks it to surrender its aid to Israel
cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/6251000
cross-posted from: ibbit.at/post/64652
Italy has despatched a second warship to support the humanitarian Global Sumud Flotilla en route to deliver aid to Gaza and break Israel’s criminal starvation blockade, following continued – now nightly – Israeli attacks on the fleet of volunteer-crewed boats.But at the same time, the Italian government has tried to pressure the flotilla to capitulate to Israeli demands to surrender its aid supplies – in this case to the local Catholic Church, which Israel will supposedly allow to distribute the aid in Gaza unmolested, despite the occupation’s diversion of aid to the criminal gangs it funds and its near-daily slaughter of desperate Palestinian aid-seekers.
Italy sending more support to the Global Sumud Flotilla – but with demands
The Global Sumud Flotilla consists of around fifty civilian vessels crewed by lawyers, politicians, medics and activists and has been repeatedly bombed by drones and buzzed by fighter aircraft, now with the added psychological warfare of drones playing loud music all night to try to deprive crews of sleep. Despite this one-sided aggression, the Israeli government is claiming that it is the unarmed humanitarian volunteers who are ‘pursuing violence’.Italy sent a first naval ship earlier this week to ‘assist’ the flotilla after it was bombed by at least fifteen drones in international waters near Greece. Spain followed suit shortly afterward. So far, no crew member has been reported killed or seriously hurt.
Italian PM Giorgia Meloni said the government’s proposal was to hand the aid over in Cyprus to the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem for distribution in Gaza, and tried to blame the flotilla organisers for not accepting the ‘offer’.
Israel continues to maintain its vice-like grip on food and other essentials in Gaza while shooting and shelling starving aid-seekers at the ‘GHF’ so-called ‘aid’ stations it controls and funding an ISIS-linked criminal gang to steal aid and kill Palestinian refugees.
The flotilla crews have said they will continue on their mission to deliver the aid directly.

You are technically correct, in the literal sense that managers and executives have work to do.
It should be noted, however, that it is the workers (not the company owners/investors) that create all the products that are up for sale and the infrastructure necessary to begin production (e.g., roads, bridges, electricity, education, etc.). Hence, when a CEO say that they "built" the company, they are obfuscating the exploitation of the labor of workers who transform raw materials into all the useful commodities we enjoy.
But in the end the worst are the owners and investors who litteraly just steal.
