March was the 529th straight month hotter than the 20th century average. If you're younger than 44, you've never seen a cooler-than-normal month

In 2021 @najournalists found:

“Out of 300 (New York Times) articles, 804 total (Native) stereotypes were used. ‘Violence’ was the most frequently used bingo card word, found in 40 percent of coverage analyzed.”

Here’s @nytimes’ response to NAJA:

Whales belong in the sea – not in captivity. I’m proud to cosponsor the #SWIMSAct which was introduced today & would prevent future capture & breeding of whales for public display. We must end the exploitation & mistreatment of these animals. 1/2

The podcast about Indian residential schools I've been working on launches next week. It’s more than just work to me. I believe if Canada had its way I wouldn’t be here. The point of the schools was to get rid of people like me. This story needs to be told https://t.co/xUTSfqemot

BREAKING: Republican January 6 Committee Chair Liz Cheney drops bombshell, asserts that the committee has “enough evidence to make a criminal” referral against Trump for “conspiracy” charges due to his “massive” and “well-planned” attempt to overturn Biden’s win. RT TO THANK LIZ!

A wonderful conversation about Tokitae's past and future happening tonight between @Bonzairambo, former Chairman of the Lummi Nation Jay Julius, fisher and Lummi tribal member Ellie Kinley, and orca rehabilitator Jeff Foster.

[Bonnie Swift @Bonzairambo]

@bybencassidy @THSEA Thank you @bybencassidy!

[Benjamin Cassidy @bybencassidy]

Tonight Ellie, Jeff, and former Lummi Nation chair Jay Julius will join @Bonzairambo to talk all things Tokitae @THSEA. Bonnie has a riveting audio story out on Audible about this whole saga. https://t.co/lWKKONlkUQ

Yes, wood products store some carbon.

But much, much more is lost when a forest is cut down. We need to be wary of the logging industry greenwashing wood products as climate solutions.

Thank you @SierraClub!

Have you heard the story of Tokitae (AKA Sk'aliCh'elh-tenaut AKA Lolita)? Listen to @@bonzairambo's podcast on Audible. https://t.co/4Pf0TaBPz8

This is a story about killer whales, indigenous rights, grief, and the promise of repair.

[Bonnie Swift @Bonzairambo]

@elenasb_ Would it be terribly uncouth to suggest the story of Tokitae, that I created along with many others?
