ALL PIPELINES 2/3 STOP CULTURAL GENOCIDE/Ecosystem Attack/StandWithUkraine/climate

I don't believe the CB. Why? Read to look at what they removed from the African American Studies curriculum, & you'll see why I say this. - The Meaning of African American Studies via @NewYorker

Gym just wants to be in the spotlight, wasting tax dollars over something most of the country supports. He needs to STFU. We're tired of his antics. In fact, he's one of the worst to be put in charge of any committee whatsoever  in any government be it local, state or federal. - Jordan subpoenas Garland, Wray over school board memo

What states will follow suit though it's doubtful any red states will, considering? Do I need to explain this? Too bad this oppression and racism mentioned seems to ignore that inflicted on indigenous populations for things like protecting sacred sites. Too bad Walz wasn't spot on re: Line 3. - Gov. Walz signs historic bills making Juneteenth a state holiday and banning hair discrimination

I have a question. When have they ever been credible re: balanced budgets. Think about the mess Dem presidents have had to clean up after a GOP president had been in office. This has been the case as far back as I can remember. The last one was the absolute worst, which is now continuing in the GOP controlled House, basically controlled by the MAGA crazies who now head committees. - Why Republicans are no longer credible on balanced budgets via @msnbc

While it appears you need a subscription to access, another way is through your FB account. This is a beginning tho I would like to see another option for those who know no one in the U.S. The other requirement makes sense, passing a vetting process. I also have no issue with not allowing those who enter illegally, but would like to add a possibility, a second chance. - Migrant flows plummet across Texas-Mexico border. Is success for Biden’s policy in sight?

I stand with Chairperson Alkire, and know I'm not alone in this support. Think of the thousands who went to Standing Rock in an attempt to stop DAPL from being built. You think they've forgotten? Don't forget how crooked Kelcy Warren, owner of Energy Transfers, is. The companies that have committed these crimes are under the Energy Transfer umbrella. - Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Chairperson Janet Alkire Decries DAPL Criminal Convictions and Government Secrecy - Red Lake Nation News

Take the time to read, to see what others are doing to protect sacred places, to protect the air we breathe that the GOP cares nothing about. As said within, this must be a collaborative effort including people of all backgrounds, who see no skin color. - Meet the SLC Air Protectors, a Native American-Led Environmental Nonprofit

Again Russia is committing war crimes. Hold the Putin regime accountable in a way we can see. Of course, the Kremlin lies, claiming no civilian structures were hit. We're not fooled by their lies. More sanctions are coming for them, this time from the EU. The Russians will keep on embarrassing themselves and will lose this war. - EU leaders in Ukraine as Russia hits residential areas

IMHO the oil companies continue to rip us off. Legislators need to come together to stop this madness tho I expect little, if anything, from the GOP. They appear to support the rich getting richer. Why hasn't Skinner's bill been granted a hearing? Doing nothing supports Big Oil's interests, not ours. - Big profits for Big Oil while the planet burns

According to this article, California is going for it alone. - State banks on historic water rights in river talks

A problem with this article is it sounds like Rep. Schiff jumped on the bandwagon to run, when indeed that is not the case. We knew about both Porter and Lee at least a week before he announced. - Pelosi backs Schiff's bid for Senate seat

I doubt he had to think twice about doing this. He listens to what's important to his constituents. P22 has been a topic of conversation since he was put down. Also, other mountain lions have been at risk in LA County, another being hit and killed recently. Their numbers are dwindling. Maybe we also need more wildlife crossings in greater LA County in areas where these mountain lions inhabit. We are encroaching on their habitats. - Schiff presses effort to honor P-22 on stamp

This is for a planned store in Baldwin Village. The apartments would be above the store for low income households & seniors. The area is a food desert as described. - Costco plan includes housing

Something we all should watch, especially if we want to take the House back, keep the Senate, the White House, support for Ukraine. It's worth a listen. We can't wait. We have to start working now. Btw, some of us already ARE information warriors. - Simon's Pop-Up Political Briefing (2/03/23) via @YouTube

The big question is will it though? I have no confidence in the current SCOTUS because of those on the bench who should have never been confirmed. Do I need to mention who? It goes back to 1991. Google him. He had one year experience at that time. He has refused to recuse himself when he should have. Then there's hi wife. If I need to explain that, you haven't been paying attention. He's not the only one who doesn't belong there. I will spell it out: Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett. They all lied under oath. Granted I've gone off topic, but I've also begun my argument why the current SCOTUS isn't credible. - How the Supreme Court could finally force Big Oil to face trial

More direct damage from the Republicans. What's interesting is either they think no one will notice, or that the rest of us will forget. Think again. As previously somewhat alluded to, the GOP is changing things basically to fit their narrative, which does not support the general American public, in particular the real needs of low income communities. Another thing to use in upcoming campaigns. Start making a list of how they're screwing up. And don't forget the lies. They abound here. - Republicans erase ‘environmental justice’ from documents

This is important, and must be shared. In fact IMHO it's huge. First, please note too that this title is a misnomer. The last guy didn't reunite anyone. His people didn't acquire the necessary info to be able to do so. If I'm wrong show me the evidence that I am. The MAGAs want to impeach Mayorkus who has been working hard to reunify kids separated from their families by that twice impeached con man, the loser for POTUS in 2020. This stands out: nearly 1k are left who haven't been; but "148 are in the reunification process." Impeach the MAGAs instead. That makes more sense. - U.S. reunites nearly 700 kids who were taken from parents under Trump

I'm pretty sure most of us know this fact. I keep seeing it again and again and again. The question is what are we going to do about it? How are we going to bring about change? Some suggestions are included within this article. Another thing to keep in mind: price gouging isn't just happening at the gas pump. It makes no sense that the electric co. is the bulk of my electric bill tho I use 100% wind energy. Something's very wrong with this picture. Let's just say I have issues with over $90 of my electric bill last month. Wind cost me $5. See the conundrum? - Dark Money Is Fueling Climate Denial and Delaying Action, Watchdogs Warn

Just read. It is detailed. Still nform yourself. You know what to do next. - AFN BULLETIN – February 3, 2023 – AFN calls for urgent and transformative climate action led by Indigenous Peoples following COP27: UN Climate Change Conference 2022

Whitmer has been trying to do what she can abt this pipeline. She realizes it should go. We also know Enbridge will continue to fight to keep it. We want Enbridge to lose this fight. I'd still like to see this pipeline decommissioned. - Whitmer taps engineering executive and Snyder adviser-turned-attorney for Line 5 panel via @michiganadvance

Sorry but no way is copper a critical enough mineral to desecrate Oak Flat or any other lands sacred to indigenous peoples across this country. Nevada has also been on the chopping block, ignoring the beliefs of the indigenous peoples who live in the area. They claim this is important for infrastructure, but what about the water that will be wasted mining this copper in a state that is basically desert? Their actions are irresponsible. Live in AZ? Contact Sen. Kelly. I know there's no point to contact Sinema other than to register your disapproval of her actions. - Sinema and Kelly urge designation of copper as critical mineral

This guy needs not only a muzzle and his hands tied behind his back, but forced to shut up with his asinine policies that he attempts to force his convoluted beliefs on others. - Ron DeSantis and the New Campus Free Speech Crisis via @thedailybeast
