(2023-04-11). The Ron DeSantis counter-revolution is about stopping Florida's progressives. therealnews.com 
In 2018, Floridians counted the restoration of voting rights to people with prior felony convictions among a host of statewide wins for progressives.

Across the country, "Florida" has now become synonymous with attacks on LGBTQ rights, public schools, and unions. Yet this offensive isn't only driven by hatred and ideology. It's also about curbing the power of Florida's progressives—power that was building steadily bef…

As the most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report tells us, there is still a chance to keep warming at no more than the 1.5 ∞C target, but tipping points to climate catastrophes much worse than we are witnessing now will kick in if this target is breached. It is now crystal clear that ongoing wars, in particular the Ukraine war, create huge obstacles to the global cooperation necessary for any chance of meeting the 1.5 ∞C warming target. Following the lead of China's peace plan, we should support the call for an immediate ceasefire in the Ukraine war, and for all parties invol…
