  8. The US election is on a knife edge.

    My trip to Georgia showed how easily it could end in tragedy

    To my right: a cluster of #election #conspiracy #theorists who still believe Donald Trump won in 2020.

    To my left, a group of #voting #rights #campaigners, singing an old spiritual popularised during the civil rights era.

    They were here to observe
    🔥last-minute efforts by hard-right officials to alter the way in which votes will be counted next month.

    The measures, many say, will sow doubt in this crucial swing state, 🆘creating chaos that is likely to favour Trump.

    A man wearing a Trump T-shirt had weaved his way into the voting rights group
    – most of whom were Black 
    – and was grinning with satisfied amusement.

    Others started hanging pro-Trump flags behind them as police officers intervened.
    The conspiracy theorists 
    – mostly white
    – pointed and laughed

  9. " #Environmental #campaigners filmed, #threatened and #harassed at #Cop28

    #Indigenous campaigners, #HumanRights defenders and #climate #activists say they are being silenced by fear of reprisals - “In the last few years, we’ve seen #Indigenous representatives being filmed by people related to government institutions while giving statements about human rights at #UN events, or photographed just for being present at a UN event,” said Lola García-Alix, the global governance senior adviser for the International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs.

    “We’ve witnessed people working closely with governments physically corner and encircle Indigenous representatives in UN meetings. Such acts of intimidation have drastic effects back home, where Indigenous people sometimes face reprisals, including being questioned, harassed or detained.

    “While many of these incidents happened in UN human rights events, such as the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, this worrying trend is expanding,’ García-Alix said. “We recently saw intimidation tactics at Cop in #Dubai where several Indigenous people from one country were intimidated by people working closely with that country’s government."

  10. “Land reform #campaigners have challenged claims that #Scotland has to rely on multimillionaires spending up to £2bn on new forests and peatlands to rescue the country from the #climatecrisis.
    An analysis by Community Land Scotland accuses NatureScot, the conservation agency, of using crude and unsubstantiated figures to call for a big increase in private funding to reforest the Highlands and uplands.” #reforestation #landreform #conservation
