The Israeli government has cut off food, water, and fuel to 2 million people inside Gaza. Collective punishment is not only contrary to international law, it is inhumane and illogical. How will this deescalate the violence rather than radicalize many more? It is madness.
.@SecMayorkas made a huge blunder by granting waivers for environmental review to fast-track a border wall.

Japan has begun releasing their toxic life-killing water into the Pacific Ocean from fukushima. Now we know why Rahm Emmanuel is the ambassador to japan. What a screwed up horrific nightmare. Thanks Joe. Why are you in favor of this horrific Earth killing program ?
Fire officials are prepositioning initial attack resources throughout the NW in preparation for extreme heat and fire weather watches and warnings across most of the geographic area. Please know and follow local fire restrictions to stop any new human caused fires.
Big Oil got $196 billion in profits last year and we got a summer of wildfires, smoke, floods, and extreme heat.
We must hold the fossil fuel industry accountable & pass a windfall profits tax.
While Maui is burning, all people care about are their vacations. When Puerto Rico had no electricity after being decimated by a Hurricane, all people cared about were their vacations. This is how tourism & the framing of occupied land as “paradise” dehumanizes native populations
Thanks to Automatic Voter Registration and Vote By Mail, Oregon had one of the highest turnout rates for youth voters in the nation in the 2022 midterms.
Oregon keeps proving that when we make voting accessible, people will vote!
The Pacific NW will move to Preparedness Level Four at 1200 today, August 12. With projected thunderstorms coming to the Region, please let us all work together and prevent human caused fires. Every new preentable fire start will take critical resources away from existing fires.
