•The U.S. Senate may hold a floor vote TODAY which would overturn a 20-year moratorium on sulfide-ore copper mining on 225,000 acres of Superior National Forest land in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Wilderness in northern Minnesota. The Boundary Waters is the most visited Wilderness in the United States.
🛶 Enjoying the Minnesotan/Canadian wilderness by canoe or other lesser watercraft is one of our nations greatest available pastimes, and one I have personally enjoyed my entire life. We must protect these public lands from the rapacious capitalists threatening to turn them into a poisoned wasteland.
•This vote in Congress would open the door to copper mining at the headwaters of this entire ecosystem. This kind of mining produces toxic pollution, including acid runoff and heavy metals, that can contaminate nearby waters.
•The Boundary Waters supports a major outdoor economy that sustains thousands of jobs and generates over a billion dollars a year - built on clean water and intact public lands. But this vote would clear the way for toxic mining that puts all of that at risk. It would also set a dangerous precedent, making it easier to roll back protections for public lands across the country, including wilderness areas, national monuments, and national parks.
•This is a defining moment. If you care about clean water, public lands, and protecting places we can’t replace, now is the time to speak up.
•Protect the Boundary Waters, and vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140. Let’s save this treasured place for all of us—forever. https://t.co/JhNAR6Za2O
Wow. Devastated for these people and the real fans. Imagine the excitement and beautiful shared experience of everyone watching this together as it was supposed to release after years of anticipation. Leak culture sucks.
We worked on the aang movie for years with the expectation that’d we’d get to celebrate all of our hard work in theaters.. just to see
people unceremoniously leak the film and pass our shots around on twitter like candy.. (1/3)
Ooh, now you're letting go 🌕
As our Artemis II astronauts prepare to leave the lunar sphere of influence and return to Earth's gravitational pull, they listened to "Tokyo Drifting," by Denzel Curry and Glass Animals, as their wakeup song.
BREAKING: The Trump administration voted to let Big Oil ignore every endangered species protection in the Gulf of Mexico.
In a single meeting, Trump's corrupt cabinet gave oil companies a free pass to kill endangered whales & sea turtles so they can drill without limits.
🧵
The sound alone made a space geek out of me! 🚀
Here’s one unedited minute of the Artemis II launch from our setup on the press mound.
My first time covering a launch from Kennedy Space Center… and I’m not sure I could’ve picked a better one. Thanks to everyone who watched!
Not a bad weekend 🤯 22 packs of ascended and a 3 pack pris giveaway for the english bangers. Im still shook. You never know when your luck will take a turn for the better!
@gra_cin Hes clearly not fully fit from his injury and everyone is calling him bad after leading the team last year. I'd be annoyed too. Same thing happened with orellano last year when he was riddled with injuries.
Every day I'm reminded we could've had Hillary Clinton. We could've had Kamala Harris. We could've had a strong, competent female but too many of ya'll couldn't bring yourself to vote for a lady. So now we all live with this embarassment.
