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.

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.

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

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…

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.

Abundance dies twice - in the field, and in memory. One of the greatest struggles facing all restoration-initiatives in conservation is the tyranny of low expectations. People begin complaining about beavers or wolves being overpopulated once their numbers reach over 1/80 km^2
This is what an elephant herd is supposed to look like. Tsavo, Kenya in 1976
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This photograph is not of a healthy herd. It was taken in the 1970s during a period of horrific drought, leading these animals in desperate search of water. More than 6,000 elephants died during this drought. markdeeble.wordpress.com/2014/05/18/hau…

Sometimes I have to remind myself that a lot of people's bad behavior is because they have no outlets, no community, and the world is falling apart around them. They are addicted to outrage and harassment because it is the only thing that makes them feel like they have any power.

Neoclassical economists cannot deal with the reality of the ecological crisis because nature, despite being the basis and context of all production, is literally *external* to their model of the economy.
It’s like trying to sail a ship with no knowledge of the sea.

In case you didn’t know, Norfolk Southern, the company whose train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio and released toxic chemicals because of their refusal to invest in safer trains, are also funding the “Cop City” in Atlanta where a protestor was recently murdered by Atlanta PD.

Reading interviews with people in East Palestine, Ohio where the train derailed is so heartbreaking and insane. People are like "all my pets died" but then they're being told to move back into their houses.

On February 3, a horrifying railroad accident took place. A Norfolk Southern freight train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. You might've seen images of the flames, but you probably haven't heard that unions were trying to prevent this exact accident. 🧵

2/2- Oil sands corporations and the Alberta government are knowingly killing Indigenous people with industrial carcinogens. Nothing is being done because of the money and the jobs. It is more profitable to look the other way or deny. Anecdotally you hear of workers and cancer too
