It's been uncovered that Black inmates in the Alabama prison system are having their organs illegally harvested and their families are not being notified.
That's cool where the fuck are the people who'd been caged there, they're still missing. Everything this admin does is a waste of money, I'm more concerned about the immigrants they're disappearing from these places
Samuel Alito quoting FAKE DATA in his ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act should be GROUNDS FOR DISMISSING THE DECISION AND FOR HIS IMMEDIATE REMOVAL.
Al Jazeera’s Heidi Pett says journalist Amal Khalil received threats from an Israeli WhatsApp number during the last war, warning her to stop reporting or leave Lebanon “if she wanted her head to remain on her shoulders,” before being killed today in an Israeli attack.
In 1979, John Beal had three heart attacks and was told he had 4 months to live.
He decided to spend those 4 months cleaning up the creek behind his house.
Hamm Creek ran through South Seattle into the Duwamish River. The water was yellow, dead fish washed up on the banks, and sections of it had been buried in concrete culverts that ran too hot for salmon to swim through.
He had no environmental training, he just started picking up trash.
The four months came and went, and he kept going.
He spent the next 27 years pulling debris out of that creek by hand, planting native trees, fighting utilities to daylight the buried sections, and teaching volunteers to name every tree they planted. He always said a tree with a name had a better chance.
Within days of one restoration, small salmonids appeared in water that hadn't held fish in 40 years. Herons, beavers, and river otters all came back.
John Beal died in 2006, at 56, of a heart attack, beating his prognosis by 27 years. He always said the creek gave him the extra years, and he was paying it back.
"The environment starts at your feet. You're involved in an environment every time you take a step." -John Beal
In less than 24 hours, Israel committed 4 war crimes. Not may constitute to war crimes. Clear war crimes.
Israel deliberately killed four paramedics in a successive strike on ambulances responding to an initial airstrike in Mayfadoun, Lebanon.
Israel deliberately bombed The only operational hospital in the frontline villages of the southern regions in Lebanon where the Israeli attacks are relentless. Also targeted first responders and their ambulances.
Israel destroyed the final bridge to Southern Lebanon, in Burj Rahal. Civilians can't flee. Ambulances cannot reach the wounded or the hospitals on the other side. Laying siege cruelly cut off all fuel from entering, with threats to bomb aid trucks and medical vehicles heading south. Entire communities are cut off from essential supplies.
Israel blew up a public school in Marwahin, South Lebanon, which had been officially reported as not being used for military purposes.
Israel deliberately targets civilians and civilian infrastructure in Lebanon.
These are clear war crimes, and war crimes beget war crimes with total impunity.
•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
My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career.
The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams.
My "bad days" are his wildest dreams.
My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive.
It's geographical luck and it's a haunting injustice that we all refuse to acknowledge and look away
