Today, the EPA has been forced to lift federal protections for most of the country's wetlands. This action is a response to a radical Supreme Court ruling that curbs the agency's capacity to safeguard our wetlands from the influence of conservative corporate donors.
@dimeinurear@PushBidenLeft Human-emitted CO2 is literally the largest contributor to climate change. "Ecological damage from pollution" includes pollution of CO2 my guy

Something I love about Oslo: This city is incredibly quiet.
Lots of people are walking/biking/scooting. And most vehicles are electric, while speed limits are typically 30 km/hr (19 mph), so engine/tire noise is negligible.
A reminder that cities aren't loud; *cars* are loud.
Starbucks could give every one of its 402,000 employees a $4700 bonus check and still keep $1,892,000,000 in net income this year. Instead they raised prices for no reason and are actively engaging in union busting. Get your coffee somewhere else.
A staggering study has revealed that 3 million Texas workers are paid less than minimum wage.
Employers have been fined $99 million for paying workers less than $7.25, but bosses are just ignoring the fine.

This is Lancaster, California.
A Los Angeles county sheriffs deputy throws a Black woman to the ground and brutalized her for filming them arresting her husband.
Filming the police is not illegal.
This is brutality.
Arrest this pig.
So, let me get this straight: yesterday the Supreme Court ruled colleges CAN’T discriminate on the basis of race but today they ruled that a web designer CAN discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community? Sorry, but this Court is so freaking messed up.
Canada is on fire.
Meanwhile, Norway is going ahead with 19 new oil drilling projects, Biden approved Willow, and Trudeau ramps up fracking. Global leaders are approving fossil fuel expansions that will add gas to the fire.
“The problem is not simply fossil fuel emissions. It’s fossil fuels — period”
“We are hurtling towards disaster, eyes wide open, with far too many willing to bet it all on wishful thinking, unproven technologies & silver bullet solutions”
