Interesting idea that frames rich countries as having a "climate debt" to poor coutries:
"The economist Fadhel Kaboub suggests a way out: the World Bank and IMF could lend money to historical polluters to help them pay for their #ClimateDebt to poor nations. "
(But when Keynes proposed it in a different context, the US vetoed it).

Surprise!!
Report
US says military battalions with the IDF committed "gross human rights violations" against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank.
However, the battalions "will remain eligible for U.S. military aid because of steps Israel says it's taking to address the problem."
The administration assessment was outlined in an undated letter by Blinken to Mike Johnson obtained by ABC News.

I know not everyone has the freedom to do this, but there have been two times in my life when I didn’t get paid on time, and both times I told them wow I’m really sorry but I don’t actually have enough gas money to come to work tomorrow. I’ll be in as soon as payroll hits though.
The first time it happened they were really mad about it and they figured out a way to fire me later on that month. I got a new job on my way home from work so it was no big deal.
The second time it happened the owner of the company wrote me a personal check for $100 and I just had to pay him back when payroll hit. I was kind of mad about that, I was looking forward to taking the day off.

"Constitution in the Crosshairs"
Far-right groups plan to radically rewrite the Constitution.
Bankrolled by Big Oil, Koch Industries & mega-donors — they want to take America back to when it was largely devoid of federal oversight.
At stake are all of our rights & a century of progress in making America a more just society via workers’ rights, social security & affordable health insurance.

I remember in 2020 in my city, police were extremely pissed off about covid-aware protestors who chose to protest in their neighbourhoods rather than travel into central.
Central city districts are hostile to us. The roads are easily blocked, there aren't as many alleys and buildings to escape through, cameras are everywhere and there aren't as many witnesses. By contrast, residential districts are full of routes and hiding places and the cops will be seen if they decide to split someone's skull open.
A thousand little protests in residential neighbourhoods was their nightmare.

Quite the mind fuck being an American Jew and descendant of Holocaust survivors right now, as nazis and republicans call Jewish protesters “antisemitic.” I don’t blame anyone for being confused by it all. Just know that your Jewish friends have been angry about it for a long time. And remember that anyone claiming to speak for all Jews probably isn’t.
We have long watched as the worst people use us as an excuse to enact their power fantasies. Please don’t believe them when they do.

instead of making memes all day Occupy Democrats should be screaming at Jack Smith to do his job.
Us sharing this just pisses people off when they are reminded 3 years after an insurrection where PEOPLE DIED the organizers and instigators have never even been charged.
This half hour report (with transcript) is a pretty good condensation of where things are in North Gaza with the discovery of mass graves - 3 sites with a total of about 700 bodies found at the time of the report.
The call for a no-fly zone is such a "no shit" moment but it's way past overdue.

OK now I think I understand what you mean much better. It sounds like a job for a young whippersnapper (like myself 30+ years ago).
In my opinion, a much easier project would be a directory of basically "places to go", listing at least the major search engines, forum sites, social/short media, video, picture sites, etc. The biggest few of each category might get a few sentences of text. Personally, I wouldn't use a public-editable wiki--just some (shared?) email to suggest new sites.
