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.
No. Sorry. They are not “collateral damage” they are human beings who happen to have been born there and live there and most of those human beings are stuck there. Have some compassion, they are Palestinians not buildings or roads or things, they are human beings and so are the hostages whose lives you may also be destroying. They aren’t “collateral damage” either.

INSPIRATION: Indigenous hero Uncle Rio was just arrested protecting the last old growth forest on Vancouver Island in Canada. Cedar trees 2,000 years old are being cut overnight so one company can make a paltry $20m profit.

It’s time to celebrate!!!!
People Power beat back Big Oil! #Ecuador has just become the 1st country in the world to halt oil drilling through direct climate democracy!
Celebrate this historic moment by telling your friends & family! #YestoYasuní! #SiAlYasuní

🧵Yasuní is a biodiverse & cultural treasure in the Ecuadorian Amazon that we must protect for the future of our planet. August 20 will mark a historic moment for #ClimateJustice & the end of fossil fuels. Ecuadorians will vote to keep the oil in the soil!
