NY's arts institutions art-wash for the capitalist purveyor of fossil fueled planetary destruction, David Koch: @metmuseum & @nycballet denigrate their arts. How is Koch more acceptable than Sacklers?
Private equity firms spend billions to drill, frack, and burn fuels that wreck our climate. Since 2010, the industry has invested over $1 trillion in energy — mostly in polluting fossil fuels. Read this new report to learn more.
For context - on where the over-consumption of energy issue resides - The amount of electricity the US uses for air conditioning is the equivalent of the total electricity consumption for the entire continent of Africa.
When you read the headline "American soldier abducts baby from Afghan family", you can't actually imagine how much worse the whole story gets. Joshua Mast is actively refusing to return an Afghan baby to her loving family who desperately want her back. https://t.co/g0yC79AsxG
This is huge. Canada is home to most of the world's mining companies. Today, a group of Tanzanians has filed in Canadian court against Canadian mining giant Barrick Gold for grave human rights violations at the company’s North Mara gold mine in Tanzania.

Before a college or uni takes money from the super-wealthy, it should ask to whom reparations are owed for the accumulated riches. And the reparations should be paid before the donation taken. Let's start with @CMCnews & George Roberts. @UnKochCampus@KKRkills@InsidePhilanthr
BREAKING. We just disrupted war profiteer and Raytheon executive @OSullivanMeghan as she taught a class about climate change at Harvard University's Kennedy School.
Will Canada listen to human rights global giant Amnesty International re: Wet’suewet’en & CGL pipeline?

Princeton has now divested & yet, here in Claremont, @pomonacollege & @scrippscollege, stubbornly insist on staying invested in fossil fueled climate catastrophe. The adminis & trustees responsible are anti-science, a threat to a live-able planet: unfit to serve! #DivestNow
This Thursday 5pm we are meeting at the hive! We’ll be talking about mobilizing students to demonstrate against the drilling of Witsuwit’en territory and to plan a mutual aid campaign for land defender Fidencio Aldama. #Stopthedrill#FidencioAldama#KKRkills
Civil Suit Update:

While CGL plows through Wet’suewet’en unceded land it’s received more than 50 warnings for environmental violations. It’s violating the human rights of the Indigenous People who did not give consent to the pipeline while it simultaneously violates the land https://t.co/jsL7o7XOmr
Wet’suewet’en Hereditary Chief Namoks & Jocey Alec of Gidimt’en Clan accessed the CGL drill pad site w CGL security watching every move on their own sovereign land. The drill is in place ready to hammer under Wet’suewet’en sacred Wedzin Kwa. Drone footage courtesy @Gidimten
URGENT UPDATE:
The drill they will use to destroy Wedzin Kwa is now in place.
We will never stop defending our yintah the way our ancestors have done for thousands of years. We need all your support now to ensure it will never be functional.

Seriously, @KKR_Co ? „In the case of Axel Springer, senior executives at KKR and CPPIB enmeshed in the company’s governance — including KKR co-founder Henry Kravis — were persuaded that Reichelt’s behaviour did not constitute sackable misconduct.“
