STOP ALL PIPELINES 10/7 STOP CULTURAL GENOCIDE/Ecosystem Attack/StandWithUkraine/Jan 6 Hearings/climate

What a wonderful slap in Putin's face and anyone else who enables him to continue this illegal invasion of Ukraine! - Nobel Peace Prize goes to activists from Belarus, Russia, Ukraine via @azds

This is what the GOP wants to do. Never give in to their wishes. - Hand-counting ballots may sound nice. It's actually less accurate and more expensive

Finally some common sense in spite of what that MAGA-controlled Court wants happening with their overturn of Roe. Still there's a wait., a year from now. - Barnard College will offer abortion pills for students

Yes, the GOP exposed their true colors. All they care about is power. Don't give it to them. I don't know about you, but I'm sure as hell tired of all of MAGA lies. Use your vote to stop them in their tracks. Vote to save democracy. - Opinion | Herschel Walker was caught in another lie — why the GOP reaction this time is eyeopening via @msnbc

If you didn't see this last night, it's worth watching. It's about the use of a tactical weapon. Putin has no offramp. Listen to Rhodes speak of how Putin has been failing. - Biden compares nuclear risk from Russia in Ukraine to Cuban missile crisis via @msnbc

If you're not cognizant of this already, you should be. She thinks we need to be focused on Nov. 2022 for Dems to increase their numbers in the House and Senate. Listen to how she thinks we're running out of time, and what she has to say about Liz Cheney. I can't help but agree with Mary Trump. - Mary Trump: Everything Donald has done is a 'prelude to worse things to come' via @msnbc

This is what the MAGA Rs are doing to women, thinking that they have the right to tell us what we can do with our bodies. Obviously they didn't think this all the way though. They need to think again. - State abortion bans are preventing cancer patients from getting chemotherapy via @19thnews

This is what love of country looks like. - Zelensky: Ukrainian forces recaptured 200 square miles in a week 

This has me smiling. Remember that territory Putin tried to annex? "Russian forces no longer have full control of any of those regions." 🌻 - Zelensky pledges fair treatment for Ukrainians in reclaimed territory

This is what addressing the drought looks like. It's a beginning, but is it enough? CA is doing this voluntarily now. We shall see what's ahead. We're already promised a fourth year of drought. - State water agencies will reduce share of Colorado

IMO the byline says it all. Think about all who are negatively affected. This isn't going away any time soon. We're not the only ones who have water restrictions. It's happening in Europe as well. Just as the flooding in Pakistan is described as an ecological disaster, so is this. - Climate change's drought effect

First time I've read about this happening in the US. Sullivan asking for a plan to be put in place in case more arrive in this manner makes sense. The question, though, is will they be allowed to jump over all those others seeking asylum at our southern borders? - 2 Russians seek asylum in Alaska

He has found a way to work across the aisle on some issues which with this Congress is rare. - Send Levin back to Congress

This we know. How do we make sure OPEC members feel the hurt? - OPEC's raising prices to help Russia. It chose the wrong side

We know this, or at least should. However, what's left of our democracy depends on whether Dems come out to vote in droves. Think of the election deniers who continue to deny the 2020 election. Think of the legacy you want to leave your kids, to leave for future generations. They said it recently, what they were after. All they care about is gaining power. Believe them! Yes, it IS that important. Are you listening? - Win or lose, the GOP's not changing

The stats of conviction are staggering. Some changes in some places already prevent this, to an extent, or are supposed to anyway. - How to prevent racism from causing wrongful convictions

And he does so for the next Los Angeles mayor, Karen Bass! Perfect description: “'Rick Caruso shows no signs of stopping the infusion of tens of millions of his own dollars into his vanity campaign for mayor.'” Again, does this sound familiar? - Hollywood exec donates $1 million in mayor race

Do I believe this? Nope tho I'd love to see this pipeline disappear permanently. Notice the effect if this happens. They tell you, inside. - No Enbridge Line 5, No Enbridge tunnel

A different take. Notice who supports and who doesn't. It shouldn't be a surprise. - Line 5 foes want ‘broad, thorough review’ of tunnel project as Army Corps wraps public comment via @michiganadvance

Relieved to see this, but not taking any chances. Please make sure to get out to vote. The chaos promised by the MAGA candidates is just not acceptable. - Trump's Arizona slate risks turning off independent-minded voters in key Senate and governor's races

Sorry, but I don't trust these guys. What exactly are they trying to buy? It's mentioned here in the article. I'll leave it at that. - Rio Tinto agrees to loan $100 million to Energy Resources Australia for NT Ranger Mine rehabilitation via @ABCaustralia

Katie stands with voters. She doesn't come up with convoluted lies like her opponent. SoundClouds included with candidates' views on abortion. - Here’s what Democratic candidate Katie Hobbs says about Arizona abortion laws

As the song goes, "you don't always get what you want." - On his 70th birthday, Putin hoped to be leading a resurgent Russian empire. Instead his army is in retreat and his enemies are united against him like never before. via @businessinsider

Best thing I've seen yet, that image below. - The Army Corps of Engineers is receiving hundreds of comments daily opposing the Line 5 tunnel

‘They Are in a Panic’: Ukraine’s Troops Size Up the Enemy

Makes perfect sense especially in terms of climate. - Yellen says development banks need overhauling to deal with global challenges

Detailed account, not just about governor but also the senate race. Still it's troubling to see a middle aged voter feeling she has no fit in either party. - Trump's Arizona slate risks turning off independent-minded voters in key Senate and governor's races

Not sure how I missed this earlier other than having an inbox overflowing daily. In case you forgot about all those separated by that con man who was impeached twice. This is a hell of an accomplishment when no records were kept by the orange clown who still attempts to spread lies about the election. Dems care about families unlike the MAGAs. This is more evidence of this, and Biden keeping his promise to reunite these families as fast as possible. His administration is still actively working to reunite these families. - Biden administration has reunited 500 families separated under Trump

Posted about this already but doing it again because it's so important that these families be reunited with no info left behind by the previous administration that egregiously separated families, not giving a damn about what they did. President Biden did say this is one of his priorities, bringing together these families. - 500 children reunited with families by Biden-Harris task force, nearly 200 still in process

First time I saw this map was in a book I have that I used to share with my students at times. On another note, I have issues with that picture of Jimmy Carter used. Reading the caption under it may tell you why. - Land acknowledgments meant to honor Indigenous people too often do the opposite – erasing American Indians and sanitizing history instead via @ConversationUS

A history lesson not taught in schools but should be. Something else too that the MAGAs want to keep out of the schools. - Effort to recover Indigenous language also revitalizes culture, history and identity via @ConversationUS
