Nearly a million acres of land next to the Grand Canyon are now off-limits from uranium mining and other industrial threats. Designations like this are key to protecting our most beloved, biodiverse, & culturally important places. https://t.co/CXbR9Basic

Over one-third of Lahaina’s population was Filipino, and a huge portion of the missing & displaced are Mexican.

Many are the workers who serve you on your Maui vacation.

Out of fear, they won’t apply for federal relief even if eligible. Donate bc private aid is their only hope.

The death toll in Maui rose to 67 on Friday as officials confirmed another 12 fatalities from a massive blaze that turned large swaths of a centuries-old town into a hellscape of ashen rubble. https://t.co/nvWupOvi6x

Hawaii governor: All fatalities so far from the Lahaina fire were people "out on the streets or out in the open as people tried to escape the fire." Several hundred homes that burned will be checked for fatalities starting tomorrow. (He said this on CNN, when death toll was 59.)

@KanielaIng Big Sugar destroyed so many paradises in the world - all ruined for the profit of a very few

[Kaniela Ing @KanielaIng]

Lāhainā was once wetland.

Boats circled around Waikoloa Church.

It’s only became dry and fire-prone because of illegal water diversions and land theft by sugar barons in the 1800’s.

Today, the same families reap insane profits off continued control of our irrigation, land regulators, and politicians.

As we rebuild, we must restore the Green New Deal promise of public land and water use.

Hawaii emergency management records show no indication that its extensive system of warning sirens sounded before people ran for their lives from wildfires on Maui. https://t.co/nvWupOuKgZ

I'm starting to feel like a lot of white Christian acculturated atheists think not believing in Jesus absolves them of their benefits of oppressive white colonialism & they dont need to do the hard work of respect for other cultures and communities.

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

On March 23, 1966, in an accident that is now known as the Palomares incident, a B-52 bomber carrying four hydrogen bombs collided with a refueling tanker in Spain, and one of its nuclear weapons dropped into the sea.

As a U.S. Navy salvage team worked to recover the bomb, the towing line broke, sending a heavy steel pipe shooting toward the team — and in an incredible act of heroism, diver Carl Brashear threw himself in front of his men, taking the pipe in the leg.⁠

Brashear not only survived, but he overcame extraordinary obstacles to get himself recertified as a master diver even though his leg had been removed, making him the first amputee diver in Navy history. Brashear was motivated by his beliefs that "It's not a sin to get knocked down; it's a sin to stay down" and "I ain't going to let nobody steal my dream."

For his service in helping to retrieve the bomb, Brashear was later awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal, the highest navy award for non-combat heroism.

I had all the childhood vaccines, more recently I’ve had flu vaccines, as well as 5 Covid booster vaccinations. I played 7 games of racquetball against guys half my age today and beat all of them. So you can take your
