Armed men have invaded the Apiwtxa Indigenous village on the Brazil–Peru border, targeting indigenous leaders who protect their land from narco-traffickers and illegal loggers. Indigenous Peoples defend the world's most biodiverse forests — they shouldn't have to do it at gunpoint. @LulaOficial,
protect the Ashaninka and all border communities now.
It of utmost importance that we protect our front line indigenous protectors. This is a global issue. All eyes on Ashaninka.
I’m tired of people mocking those who care about the planet. Clean air matters. Healthy forests matter. Thriving oceans matter. Wildlife matters. Biodiversity matters. Wanting a livable planet for future generations shouldn’t be controversial.

Flesh-eating screwworms in the meat.
Diarrhea lettuce.
Smoke in the air.
Forever chemicals in the soil.
Data center pollution in our water.
Handing Saudi Arabia nuclear technology.
A war over a strait that was already open.
$5 gas.
Expensive groceries.
Skyrocketing healthcare costs.
Crushing utility bills.
Are we great yet?
UPDATE—Father protests after ICE raid elementary bus stop.
"I've never protested before in my entire life," he says emotional.
"But then I watched 4th and 5th grade kids run away from their own government."
"I never want to see a child run away from our own government again."
“To everyone who puts the grocery cart back, smiles at strangers, waves people ahead even when it’s their turn, practices empathy for others, actively listens with the intention to understand, is kind to animals, notices the small things, offers to help, isn’t afraid to ask people if they are okay, sends the ‘Did you make it home?’ text, feels compassion when someone else is hurting: thank you. The world needs more of you.” ~Unknown

ICE detain mother—separate & leave her 1 year old child behind.
"That baby isn’t to blame for anything," says witness.
"And now he's in the arms of a masked stranger—while mom is handcuffed going who knows where."
"What are they going to do with this child?... think about it."

ICE smashed the window of a disabled Iraq War veteran, on his way to work, pepper-sprayed him, dragged him out at gunpoint, and locked him up for three days without charges.
This is fascism.
https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY confirms that George Retes is a citizen, a disabled U.S. Army veteran who served his country in Iraq.
Federal agents smashed his truck window, sprayed him with chemical agents, detained him for three days, denied him contact with his family, and released him without charges. He missed his daughter’s third birthday while sitting in a cell.
No person on American soil should fear being treated this way, least of all a citizen and veteran at the hands of his own government. A nation that can do this to a U.S. citizen and veteran can do it to anyone.

I can’t vouch for the veracity of Linuscatt’s statement on Reddit, but if true, that monthlong SMITHSONIAN CELEBRATION to celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday would have been really fun.

I worked at Smithsonian, specifically raising money for 250th. What I want people to know is we secured millions of private philanthropy to host a month long Folklife Festival on the mall, "The Festival of Festivals". Was going to feature well known festivals, think Burning Man, Farm Aid, Grand Ole Oprey etc. as well as smaller local and regional festivals from across the U.S. and territories. Goal was to feature truly the best and most beautiful creative expression in music, dance, arts and craft traditions, food, community etc. Can't name names but plan was to have headliners every night for free concerts.... Think the types of names who might be affiliated with the aforementioned large festivals. Stars were willing to perform because was under banner of Smithsonian. It had to all be scrapped bc the administration would not release permits to host on the mall. The money went elsewhere, but our nation was robbed of what would have been a once in a generation cultural moment.”
Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis.
Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention.
So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption.

"We spend so much of life chasing more: more money, more recognition, more things to prove we've made it. Yet life begins and ends in the same way: empty-handed. The houses, cars, bags, and clothes all stay behind. What travels with you is intangible: the love you gave, the peace you cultivated, and the way you touched the lives of others.” @VexKing
I don't know about you folks, but I don't want ONE PENNY of my hard-earned tax funds going towards paying off January 6th scumbags who beat cops.
Not one penny.
