Literally none of my NY friends have their Twitter locked down, while nearly all my closest #Ableg friends do.
Especially women.😔

Sending strength & love to all of you fighting the real fight in Alberta. The place is not normal. Stay strong. Stay safe. Take time if you need it.

The UCP needs to stop lying about what is driving up power prices. It isn’t renewables or coal phase out.

Economists and the market surveillance administrator have both concluded it is economic withholding- companies bidding power in way over cost + reasonable profit

🚔 @metpoliceuk is carol singing illegal now?

Alberta - “Boy, we sure have a lot of wells to clean up…”

UCP - “What if we tried just cleaning up the easy parts and then take a victory lap?”

Alberta - “But… that doesn’t really address the probl…”

UCP - “Done!”

FYI @GretaThunberg
When you were in Vancouver BC in October 2019, you stood with the youth who are suing the federal government for not doing enough on climate.
The case is now moving forward.

Indigenous people comprise 6.2% of the world population, but they are negatively affected in 34% of documented environmental conflicts due to industrial-extractive expansion.

Despite the agreement at COP28, Wet’suwet’en people have known all along that a historic (and pervasive) driving force of climate change, decimation of land & human health is the colonization of lands for oil & gas.

“We need to scale down civilisation, before it collapses under its own weight. Degrowth is a principle, not a technology. It involves no investors, job creation, green new deals or fancy EVs. It is a sacrifice, which cannot be and should not be sugar-coated” #ClimateCrisis

“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” https://t.co/EH3reri9lz

Do radical protests turn the public away from a cause? No, despite what people say on social media.

Do radical protests bring attention to that cause? Absolutely.
