Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Extinction Rebellion Protesters Block Norwegian Oil Terminal

HeadlineAug 26, 2024

In Norway, climate activists with the group Extinction Rebellion blocked an oil terminal at a major gas processing plant on Saturday.

Fredrik: “Now we are outside Kårstø oil terminal. We have just begun a blockade of one of Norway’s largest processing plants for gas in the North Sea. … So we demand a plan for a phasing out of oil and gas production in Norway, because oil and gas are killing the planet, and several billion people are in danger of losing their lives if we cannot manage to remain under the 1.5 degrees Celsius warming.”
