#Climate week NYC 2024

[elennemigo]

Benedict Cumberbatch´s year in review ✧ 2024.

"This isn’t a very natural thing, you know what I’m doing right now, talking to all of you, but the person in here, that’s carrying this through to try and communicate to you, is someone who’s tied to people that they’ve known for a long time in their life, tied to family, tied to children, tied to things that keep me grounded. I’m not afraid to tackle darkness or difficulty or the less attractive sides of the human condition as long as I know there is space to take that off and put that on, and if I feel safe doing that, then I’m good.” x

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are bleeding cash and facing a $2 million deficit, and Representative Ritchie Torres is celebrating.

Torres, a New York Democrat who has been staunchly pro-Israel amid its war with Hamas, expressed his content with recent reports that suggest the DSA's debts have reached the seven-figure mark.

"The DSA is collapsing in real time under the weight of its own antisemitism and extremism," he told The Sun on Monday. "It is fair to say that I will not be mourning its death or attending its funeral."

Newsweek reached out to the DSA via email for comment.

Over the weekend, a report emerged that the DSA—which has led pro-Palestinian protests against the U.S. response to the war—is facing financial headwinds that could result in layoffs. The Bread and Roses caucus in the DSA published a blog post on Thursday confirming those reports and saying while no one wanted to consider such drastic measures, staff costs would have to be reduced given the "great crisis for capital."

The January 18 post said that the DSA is projecting $5 million in income for 2024, but $7 million in expenses.

"That means we eventually need to come up with $2 million to break even," said Alex Pellitteri, Kristin Schall and Laura Wadlin—members of the 2023-2025 DSA National Political Committee from the Bread and Roses caucus.

The DSA leaders said that while the current sociopolitical climate should be a "really favorable time for DSA"—citing the growing support for Palestinians and for labor groups across the nation—the group has "still been treading water, and things are going to get more challenging before they get better."

A November poll from Quinnipiac University found that the number of U.S. voters who sympathize with Palestinians more than Israelis has grown in the wake of the war, although the majority still have more sympathy for Israelis.

"Biden's disastrous policy of fueling Israel's genocide in Gaza has created the kind of space for an independent alternative from the Democratic Party that has not existed since [independent Vermont Senator] Bernie [Sanders]," they said, but Pellitteri, Schall and Wadlin admitted: "We have not had strong figures at the top of the organization to lead with a political vision that inspires people to become committed socialists."

"Working people are inspired to transform the world, but they are doing it elsewhere," the post said.

Torres, whose office has been vandalized by pro-Palestinian protesters, has previously tussled with the DSA over the Middle East. The congressman, who represents the South Bronx, has accused DSA members of promoting antisemitism by supporting a Manhattan rally that was held in the wake of the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel. "The NYC-DSA is revealing itself for what it truly is—a deep rot of antisemitism," Torres said in an October 8 statement. "The DSA should be universally condemned for its genocidal celebration of Israel's destruction in the wake of Israel's deadliest terrorist attack." In response, the DSA has held several protests outside his office.

Torres is not the only Democrat at odds with the organization since the fighting broke out in the Gaza Strip.

Representative Shri Thanedar, a Michigan Democrat, renounced his membership in the DSA after the October rally, saying: "I can no longer associate with an organization unwilling to call out terrorism in its form." The DSA has emphasized that it did not organize the rally but acknowledged that the New York City chapter promoted the event "in anticipation of escalatory violence to come" after October 7.

In the Hamas attack that triggered the war, some 1,200 people were killed and Hamas and other militants abducted about 250 people, according to the Associated Press. Israel subsequently launched its heaviest-ever air strikes on Gaza. As of Monday, at least 25,295 people have been killed in Gaza and more than 60,000 wounded, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, the AP said.

While Torres blamed the gap in funding on the DSA's outspoken position on the Israel-Hamas war, the Bread and Roses members pointed to mismanagement from top directors in the organization.

In Thursday's blog post, the DSA leaders said that senior staffers had withheld essential information from elected leaders and imposed their own political objectives that hindered the DSA from achieving its ultimate goal of "a rupture with capitalism."

"As a result, we are now left holding the bag and tasked with cutting expenses just to keep the organization afloat," they said. "It's our responsibility now to learn from our mistakes: not reckoning soon enough with a downturn in enthusiasm, and failing to understand that as a sign that we were not serving our role to champion independent politics as a socialist organization in a time of great crisis for capital."

Climate Week is here! Cue music!

Today I have my first event for Climate Week! I've been getting psyched up for representing my company, Unified Ground, at Climate Week for weeks. This year feels different than other years - a lot different. I feel much more connected to my environmental justice community and community of people of color in energy and justice than I have before. Conferences and climate week in particular can feel so overwhelming. Honestly a lot of coporate things that don't feel like they have anything to do with change. This year, I'm connected to so people and projects so all the events feel natural for me to be a part of. Here's what I wrote on LinkedIn today:

NYC Climate Week is Here! 🎉 It’s going to be a full exciting week of events starting with opening night of the Climate Film Festival tonight!! I’m feeling really connected to my environmental justice community and I’m looking forward to seeing so many people in person.  If you want to know all the places I’ll be, send me a message and I can send you the full schedule. Here are the key events you can find me at:

Harry's busy NYC week. Halo Trust Diana Award African Parks Travalyst Archewell. I hope he takes a private jet to NYC to discuss sustainable travel and conservation. by u/HydeParkUK

Harry's busy NYC week. Halo Trust, Diana Award, African Parks, Travalyst, Archewell. I hope he takes a private jet to NYC to discuss sustainable travel and conservation. https://ift.tt/QFn3BH6 Harry is set to follow in his mother's footsteps by attending a charity event to raise money for clearing landmines in Africa. The Duke of Sussex is expected to take to the stage on Monday during an event hosted by the Halo Trust, the charity which gained international prominence in 1997 after Princess Diana walked through an active minefield in Angola. It will be one of two events, taking place in New York during UN General Assembly High-Level Week and Climate Week, championing issues close to his mother's heart. Harry is also set to make an appearance on behalf of the Diana Award, which was set up to reflect the Princess of Wales' belief that young people have the power to change the world.The Duke is also expected at three other events over the next two days raising awareness for conservation and sustainable travel initiatives. post link: https://ift.tt/YSQ7gTy author: HydeParkUK submitted: September 22, 2024 at 03:01AM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.

Shortwave Radiogram, 14-20 March 2024 (program 345): Digital modes that withstand interference from window heat pumps

Thank you for enduring the latest of our "double play" programs. There will be more this year, as there are family activities on the agenda. Most of North America shifted to "Daylight Savings Time" on  March 10. This affects the Shortwave Radiogram schedule, especially on WINB's 9265 kHz and WRMI's 9955 kHz, which stay on Eastern Time. This means the UTC times are one hour earlier. The other frequencies stay with UTC, so local times in most of North America will be one hour later. See the schedule below. Europe will shift to Summer Time on March 31, providing another opportunity for confusion. A video of Shortwave Radiogram on March 6 (program 344) is provided by Scott in Ontario (Wednesday 1330 UTC). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis is provided by Roger in Germany. Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 345, 14-20 March 2024, in MFSK modes as noted:  1:45  MFSK32: Program preview  2:55  MFSK32: The future less skiable thanks to climate change  7:27  MFSK64: In NYC, window heat pumps promise emissions cuts* 12:44  MFSK64: This week's images* 28:23  MFSK32: Closing announcements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please send reception reports to radiogram@verizon.net And visit http://swradiogram.net Twitter: @SWRadiogram or https://twitter.com/swradiogram (visit during the weekend to see listeners’ results) Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/567099476753304 Shortwave Radiogram Gateway Wiki: https://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Shortwave_Radiogram_Gateway

Other Shortwave broadcast programs that include digital text and images include The Mighty KBC, Pop Shop Radio and Radio North Europe International (RNEI). Links to these fine broadcasts, with schedules, are posted here.

Merkouris in Greece received these images 8 March 2024, 0030-0100 UTC, 9265 kHz from WINB Pennsylvania ...
