For the past 50 years, forces committed to the exploitation of the earth have dominated the world.
For the next 50 years generations need to be committed to its repair.
“The rainforest is neither a void that needs occupying nor a treasure trove to be looted. It is a flowerbed of possibilities…”
Lula commits to reversing damage done to the Amazon by Bolsonaro & reaching zero deforestation in the region by 2030.

Cop City is the template for a police state, pure and simple. Separating police from the rest of our domestic population create an us – versus-them dynamic at the worst possible moment. And being set off by itself, it would be almost impossible to truly monitor what goes on there.
Kudos to the Stop Cop City activists who have refused to let the story die. Because of your perseverance, the larger world is catching on.
The King Center has released a relatively scathing statement against @andreforatlanta and the City of Atlanta, calling on them to put Cop City on the ballot and stop ignoring those who oppose Cop City. #StopCopCity

Disgusting, immoral and illegal. @GregAbbott_TX
Everyone needs to see what I saw in Eagle Pass today.
Clothing stuck on razor wire where families got trapped. Chainsaw devices in the middle of buoys. Land seized from US citizens.
Operation Lone Star is barbaric — and @GovAbbott is making border communities collateral damage.

We’re living in a very unstable moment; things are going to break one way or the other.
They’re either going to break in the direction of greater justice of democracy, or they will break in the direction of authoritarianism and dystopia.
Voting for a normalcy that no longer exists, trying to keep the lid on it in the face of all the rumbling underneath the surface, pretending things are basically okay & we just need to keep tweaking things - all of that will only serve to tip us further in the wrong direction.
We will either try to make things radically better, or they are going to get radically worse.

Marianne Williamson
DNC style normie Dems argue we all have to line up behind Biden cuz since he beat Trump in 2020 he’s the one who can beat him in 2024.
But 2024 will not be like 2020; it will be more like 2016.
And the candidate who said “Let’s just continue with all the success we’re already having” is the one who lost.

I am not one of the authors whose work you stole this way, but in solidarity with every other author I say take your site down immediately. You are not sorry or it would be down already. What you are doing is deeply unethical and should be illegal.

We could’ve had a world-class environmentalist as president in 2000.
This will turn out to be - in fact it already is turning out to be - one of the great tragedies in American history.
The fossil fuel industry's hold over our political and financial systems blocks ambitious action on the climate crisis at every turn. We can't afford to put their false solutions ahead of a just transition to clean energy. Learn why in my latest @TEDTalks. ted.com/talks/al_gore_what_t…
