On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, the world celebrates our cultures. But what they don’t see is the ongoing fight to protect and revitalize our cultures, languages, and traditional lifeways.

We fight for regenerative systems that reflect our worldviews and an #IndigenousJustTransition!

[Democracy Now! @democracynow]

The death toll from the Maui wildfires has reached 96 and is expected to continue to climb in what is now the deadliest U.S. wildfire in a century. @ihikapalaumaewa, professor of Hawaiian Studies at @UHMaui, describes the destruction. “It was as if the wind was a fire.”

[Pennie Opal Plant @PennieOpal]

Over 400 wildfires across Canada destroying homes with thousands evacuated, the largest and worst fire season ever due to climate change. The solution is to transition off fossil fuels immediately. It is immoral that this isn't done.

The reason WHY @GavinNewsom signed the salmon-killing executive order and promotes the #DeltaTunnel, Sites Reservoir and #voluntary agreements is because his administration has been completely captured by the #Resnicks and #BigAg. #cawater #nodeltatunnel

The investigation found that "more than 90% of their rainforest offset credits are likely to be 'phantom credits' and do not represent genuine carbon reductions."

[Michael Thomas @curious_founder]

For the last 9 months, The Guardian analyzed projects from the biggest carbon offset provider in the world.

They found "94% of the credits had no benefit to the climate."

Some of the biggest corporations in the world are using these offsets to claim they are "carbon neutral."
