Repeated floods and storms across the United States are making recovery a continuous struggle rather than a temporary phase. As extreme weather becomes more frequent, many communities face repeated rebuilding, mounting financial losses, strained public resources, and growing emotional exhaustion. Researchers describe this pattern as disaster fatigue, where repeated crises weaken social networks, overburden local institutions, and make long-term recovery increasingly difficult. This article examines how overlapping disasters expose weaknesses in existing recovery systems and argues that sustained investment in resilient infrastructure, coordinated support, and community institutions is essential to help people recover from increasingly frequent climate-related disasters.

The Permian mass extinction offers a stark lens through which to view today’s climate crisis. Phil Wilson argues that humanity struggles to grasp the urgency of accelerating environmental breakdown because its consequences unfold beyond the limits of everyday perception. Drawing on geology, climate science, and the fossil record, the article contends that rapid greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity loss, and ecological disruption demand far greater climate literacy and collective action. It challenges readers to understand the present not as an isolated crisis, but as part of a pattern with profound implications for the future of life on Earth.

Here at Stand.earth, we are working toward a climate-safe, fossil-free future in which governments affirm the dignity of all — because we’ve held them accountable. Corporations sell products made exclusively from responsible sources, and with renewable energy — because the collective pressure we’ve exerted makes it impossible not to. Energy grids around the world provide […]

Mayor Zohran Mamdani charged Benjamin Nentayahu with genocide, said he is unwelcome in New York City, and called for his arrest. Two years ago, that would have been unimaginable. Going forward, it should be a litmus test.

I know I’m in the minority here. I really did try to like it. But Christopher Nolan has taken the wiliest, most delightful hero in Western literature and turned him into one more Nolan sad sack, trudging guilt-stricken through a gray and godless world.

After weeks of ignored demonstrations, thousands of students, alongside parents, teachers, and supporters from across India marched on Parliament to press their demands. They were met with tear gas, police violence, and detentions.

Abderrahim Fakir died of suspected lung compression after several minutes pressed to the ground by Italian police. The killing has shone a light over police impunity, just months after a new law helped shield officers from prosecution.

Unceded Coast Salish Territories (Vancouver, B.C.) –  The B.C. government’s announcement Friday morning of plans to proceed with the controversial Tilbury LNG expansion project is in direct opposition to the best interests of coastal communities and vulnerable species of wildlife, as well as a violation of the will of the public — even as a […]

As Marx said, capitalism simultaneously undermines the sources of all wealth—the soil and the worker

This is a reply to “Spain’s Social Revolution Against Fascism” which appeared in Jacobin. Historians do not agree in their take or interpretation of the Spanish revolution and this is clear from the inaccuracies in the piece you published by Andy Durgan. Let me start with a blatant falsehood by Durgan. He says Joan Garcia […]

This report should be understood as part of the Trump Administration’s attempt to smear its domestic political opposition as malign foreign agents. It must be rejected as such.

Ontario’s latest workers’ compensation bill restores some long-overdue benefits with one hand while quietly dismantling core protections with the other. In doing so, it’s undermining the century-old bargain at the heart of the workers’ compensation system.

Recent US intelligence documents hype up the threat of “anti-tech violent extremist activity” against data centers. Casting protests as ideologically extreme is a shortcut to silencing critics of AI and removing democratic constraints on Big Tech.

As I’ve written before, resistance to an authoritarian regime is measured by greater unity, greater nonviolent discipline in the face of violence, greater numbers and greater ability to provoke defections. So how are we doing? Allow me to skip around with a few thoughts.

The Soviet collapse in 1991 was so sudden and comprehensive that it came to seem inevitable. New work by historians of the USSR asks whether the system’s crisis could have ended in reform of its structures rather than disintegration.
