#Education for the sake of education, is a recipe for boredom. #Teaching biology that leads to restoration projects. Learning equations to design parts for the automotive students, who made an EV with battery's made by the chemistry class. #Passion breeds progress. #Cascadia
"STEM fields can be diverse in the State of Oregon, but we've got work to do," says Alex de Verteuil on promoting inclusion in the sciences, and her SCORE program.
@kswild Maybe an initiative to switch the funding source from forests' to Cannabis, should be put on the ballot? Cannabis sales are expected to hit 1$ billion annually, while logging generated $103million in 2017.

As progressive as #Oregon seems, it has severe #corruption and corporate influence guiding it's public policy. From fracked oil pipelines, fresh water, and forests. They've all been sold off through campaign contributions...AKA "legalized" bribes. Both parties are corrupt.
Unfettered capitalism always finds a way to profit off human misery. @VW found there niche in concentration camp slave labor, over 70 years ago. Today they continue that tradition in #xiangxiang#Uyghurs
#Environmentalism doesn't kill jobs? Oregon's tourism industry is reliant on healthy ecosystems. It employed 115,000 direct jobs, created $13billion in GDP. The Forestry Industry requires destruction, Employed 5,700 private sector direct jobs, and $546million to the GDP #Cascadia
“A bioregional economy would seek first to maintain rather than use up the natural world, to adapt to the environment rather than try to exploit or manipulate it, to conserve not only the resources but also the relationships and systems of…” — @DrDCWahl https://t.co/uabHxR2898
When you completely ignore your rural populations, it's not surprising they want to go it alone. Rural areas of the #PNW often have extreme poverty, few jobs, and no local law enforcement. In rural Douglas County, the OathKeepers have already filled the role...#Cascadia
This a what a real hero looks like,this is what real courage looks like.While we idolize the shallow celebrity of athletes and actors, @joshuawongcf has organized a generation to save #HongKong's democracy. The future will require small democracies to coalesce on a global scale.
The commodification of sports has no pace in higher education. If high school graduates want to become professional athletes, the for profit league's should fund and provide development. France has sports specific universities for it's athletes. #Cascadia#BooksNotBalls
Nike says it's investigating claims of physical and mental abuse at its now-defunct Nike Oregon Project in response to Mary Cain's harrowing account of her time there. https://t.co/7mXUVuucoe
There's no one to come and save us, but ourselves. We have let the worst representations of humanity, lead us into a regressed & dying civilization. Earth and it's inhabitants are not consumers,statistics, or investment opportunities. Stand tall #Cascadia our time is coming.
ICYMI: Timber companies in northern BC are destroying a rare inland rainforest and local groups are fighting to protect thousand-year-old cedars: https://t.co/RBylXnyqa1 #bcpoli
All of #Cascadia is under threat from oil pipelines. They are backed by the largest instruments of capital, such as the $7 trillion asset manager @blackrock. We, the people of Cascadia, must stand tall! Only together, will we defeat these megalomaniacs. #NoLng
On Monday, September 2nd, we will be gathering at Kelley Point Park in North Portland to demonstrate resistance to the Trans Mountain Expansion.

Thousands of experienced West Coast #firefighters and National Guard could be sent to help with the #AmazonFire We know the Feds are useless, but where are the governors and state politicians? Forest fires are what we know and do in #Cascadia This crisis demands leadership!
After two years of devastating wildfires that burned more than 1.8-million acres in 2018 and 1.2-million acres in 2017, as of Sunday only 51,079 acres have burned this year across state and federal lands in California. https://t.co/f3RCi7jL9Y
Hello Sheriff and your traitorous cohort! Unsurprising, corporations colluding with police has occurred since the founding. Local organizers fighting for a clean environment, are seen as more dangerous than ISIS. #CoosCouty has been bought off by Pembina Oil #jordanCove#nolng

If you live in #Cascadia , you know this beard dying moron and his cohorts, are a laughing stock. But what happens when the U.S. media's relentless manufacturing of emotions, sets off a violence that can't be undone? #4profitviolence
When you have private corporations making enormous sums of money, detaining children and separating them from their families. Will Van Spronsen had enough. #RIP We need to organize in large numbers, and win the battle of ideas to avoid violence. #Cascadia#Solidarity
Rest in Power Will Van Spronsen. He died attempting to sabotage GEO group's bus fleet which they use to ship people to airports for deportation. #AbolishICE
Areas in #Cascadia get almost 70% of their energy from hydro-power. Upgrading to utility battery storage, will allow the Northwest to remove gas fired plants, for peak energy use. Immense offshore wind energy, will also allow us to replace harmful dams.

@MrMikeObserves@sljpdx@OregonGovBrown @RenewOregon So we should accept a project that will destroy our local environment, take away our private land through eminent domain, and hurt our fishing, hunting,rafting, and tourism industry to support China? Sounds like a great plan. We prefer solutions, not some politicians rhetoric.
