Hi, I want to break down one of the biggest lies about #line3 that enbridge and its supporters keep spreading: the claim that without the new pipeline to transport 760,000 barrels of oil per day, all that oil would be transported by rail instead (with a much higher risk of spill)
some of u apparently could not identify an obvious nazi couple as nazis even if u read a whole article about them in the guardian
I have never an a reporting experience quite as unsettling as my day with the Collins family in Pennsylvania theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

Because I am losing my mind, I try to say these things to myself:
- this depravity is designed to break international solidarity, telling us there is nothing we can do so give up;
- the Palestinian people have not been defeated;
- every Empire falls;
Do everything you can.
once again thank you to @GovTimWalz @MnPCA and PUC for allowing the #line3 expansion across our state & vulnerable waterways so that the toxic and deadly tar sands industry could continue to gut the boreal forests, poison folks in canada, and cook our planet 👍
Toxic emissions from the oil sands up to 6000% higher than reported, wow, who would ever have guessed that corporations would lie about this theguardian.com/environment/…

It has been said, but cannot be said enough right now. Opposing Zionism is not an attack on the Jewish people. Opposing Israel's genocide in Gaza is not an attack on the Jewish people. Calling for a ceasefire is not an attack on the Jewish people. Do not let anyone silence you.
hey that's my desk! too bad they took these pics before i added some souvenirs from berlin

Things began to look very unusual two months ago.
Today the charts need no commentary, they speak for themselves.
This is the Atlantic.

.@GovTimWalz has been happy to take credit for all the hard work of actual progressive organizers & legislators this session but drew the line at protecting underpaid & exploited workers. Pathetic

The CDC has finally published guidance for cleaning indoor air and is recommending wearing masks in schools.
Why wait until after the end of the public health emergency? The government always knew about the science needed to save lives. But they didn't want to pay for it.
ALT Improving ventilation, filtration, and air treatment systems in buildings can help lower the concentration of viral particles in the air. 1. Aim for 5 2. Upgrade filters 3. Turn your HVAC system "ON" 4. Add fresh air 5. Use air cleaners 6. Install UV air treatment systems 7. Use portable carbon dioxide (CO2) monitors
ALT Consider having your child wear a mask to school A group of teenagers walk down a school hallway, and one student is being pushed down the hall in his wheelchair. Everyone is wearing facemasks. Children ages 2 years and older can also wear masks to school. If your child has a disability or chronic health condition, wearing a mask can give extra protection to help them stay healthy. Masks also help to prevent children from spreading COVID-19 to other people around them. Make sure the mask covers your child’s nose and mouth.

Witnessing the public suffering of the homeless is indeed uncomfortable. It is uncomfortable because it forces you to see the depths of state and communal failure, and to acknowledge your own complicity.

State Sen. Megan Hunt (D), speaking directly to Republicans, reaffirms vow to filibuster all legislation if #NEleg anti-trans bill passes:
"No one in the world holds a grudge like me. And no one in the world cares less about being petty than me. I don't care. I don't like you."

Today’s @IPCC_CH synthesis report makes it clear that under current policies and commitments, the world is headed toward catastrophic climate overshoot. We can not keep tinkering at the edges of a deadly system; we need transformative change NOW. ipcc.ch/report/sixth-assessm…
"Today’s climate pragmatism offers a frustratingly narrow vision of reform. Rather than challenging the instrumental view of nature that led us to this pre-apocalyptic moment, it asks us to imagine a world much the same as our current one, minus the climate change." really good
As I see yet another major account in the climate space use vegans - and specifically a small number of online vegans on Twitter - as a punching bag and an empty signifier onto which to project, I worry that the climate-animal space remains at an impasse. newrepublic.com/article/1591…

Approving the Willow Project, Biden has failed to meet his climate promises, and in the process has violated Indigenous Peoples’ rights and committed the US to more climate pollution.
