“most efforts to protect the environment were actually only meant to preserve it for a select few. And that often meant deliberately placing pollutants in the neighborhoods of marginalized Americans.” #EnvironmentalJustice https://t.co/DI7fk6RIAW

[Robert D. Bullard @DrBobBullard]

We can’t truly protect the environment unless we tackle social justice issues, too https://t.co/8pU0zQHCIz via @PopSci #environmentaljustice

@seaweedreport Will message you now!

[Carina 🐠, PhD @Carina_Fish]

If you or a colleague of yours is an STS scholar can you get in touch with me?

Need someone with the chops to outline rebuttals to three energy related projects (each continue the tradition of weaponizing western science for profit at the expense of people).

Ronald Reagan deserves all the hate he gets

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

Adding on to that … he’s also responsible for college becoming unaffordable and the creation of massive college loan debt. Public higher education was basically free, but Reagan thought colleges were full of too many liberals, critical thinkers and anti-war advocates. He cut funding for California’s public colleges and said taxpayers shouldn’t be funding “intellectual curiosity.” He also knew that making college widely accessible would create more upward mobility among people he didn’t particularly care for (take a guess who that is!). So universities were forced to charge students to counter the loss in state funding — and that became the nationwide model.

I’m sure this will alllll be covered in this film.

[Remi Kanazi @Remroum]

The people who love illegal settlements sure do hate student encampments. It’s wild to hear Zionists talks about “students forcibly taking over spaces.” No awareness whatsoever

[Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez @repdeliaramirez]

I support exhausting all avenues to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza. But there is dissonance in providing Gazans food while supplying Israel bombs. In order to truly provide humanitarian relief to Gaza we need a permanent ceasefire; a “temporary ceasefire” is not enough. #CeasefireNow

[Simon Maghakyan @simonforco]

Reminder that Azerbaijan invaded and ethnically cleansed Nagorno-Karabakh less than a week after a top State Department said such a move would not be tolerated.

"having mastered the inside game, schemers have a stake in its preservation, and this unspoken fidelity to the existing system tends to throttle their ambitions. History suggests it takes dreamers—firebrands, visionaries, assholes—to expand the horizons of the possible." -TNR

"Both natural gas and domestic crude oil production recently hit all-time highs, and despite talk of energy independence, much of that output will be exported. As usual, profits will flow to oil companies, while costs, financial and otherwise, will be borne by everyone else." TNR

#TodayInEnergy - Europe was the main destination for U.S. #LNG exports in 2022 https://t.co/MpIep9aD3D

I'm amused that Turkey is considered Europe for EIA. + link for the quote in previous tweet: https://t.co/pslz9l18qH

In the run-up to a presidential election with dire climate implications, can activists afford to demonize Democrats? Can they afford not to? @aarongell writes:

“It’s not fair to continue to ask Indigenous people, Black, brown and poor people who live on the front lines to do this work for free simply because they have been doing it in their ‘spare time,’” Ms. Redford said." (https://t.co/J0W8syU9wV)

[Equation Campaign @equation_cmpgn]

Our @KatieRedford86 spoke with @RockefellerFdn on the tools that have the power to disrupt & dismantle the fossil fuel industry, but are under-the-radar in mainstream climate funding strategies.

[The Descendants Project (Louisiana) @project_descend]

A must read. @CapitalBNews reports on how "A new data set outlines the threats in 70,000 U.S. census tracts.
Black neighborhoods make up some of the most at risk."

[IMF @IMFNews]

Fossil-fuel subsidies surged to a record $7 trillion last year. Amid world temperatures also rising to unprecedented levels, subsidies should be scaled back to help slow climate change.

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Remembering all the lives Henry Kissinger destroyed with the terrible violence he unleashed in countries like Chile, Vietnam, Argentina, East Timor, Cambodia, and Bangladesh. I never understood why people revered him. I will never forgive or forget.

[Shy G @highlyvibey]

@karlitaliliana An expanded appetite for uncertainty. Demanding finite plans forecloses on the creativity necessary to reimagine our society in liberated ways. Demanding plans as a form of security capitulates to the same existing systems & structures we profess to wanna transform.

[beth miller @beth_avedon]

SHAMEFUL. Cops are assaulting peaceful anti-war protesters in front of @TheDemocrats HQ.

This mutifaith and multiracial group from @JvpAction @IfNotNowOrg @DemSocialists and more there to represent the 80% of Democrats who are demanding a #ceasefirenow in Gaza.

Everyone who visits the occupied territories comes away changed. This from TNC is must watch.

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

I care deeply about the media conflating criticism of far-right Israeli policies and antisemitism for many reasons, including 1) It cheapens the concept; 2) It is weaponized to distract people from horrific injustices. https://t.co/Vknw0xP6gy

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

My grandparents dealt with antisemitism for their entire lives. Weaponizing "antisemitism" to insulate a monstrous anti-democratic government and fascist vigilante settler violence from measured criticism and application of basic international law cheapens the concept.
