Ohio train disaster is an eco-horror caused by corporate abuse. Norfolk Southern detonated the fireball below to "dispose" of cancer-causing chemicals because it was cheaper and the rails could open faster.
They "nuked" a small town for profit.

The pandemic is not over. It's much worse than you've been led to believe. And unless you've spent the past several years reading scientific studies on the subject, it can be hard to convey just how wrong the public perception of COVID really is.

No viable path left to 1.5C.
From today’s White House briefing: “Under President Biden, oil and natural gas production has increased, and we are on track to hit the highest production in our country’s history next year.”
Utterly tragic for the Earth and our future. Words fail.
Rich people flying private jets to UN talks sponsored by Coca Cola that give the fossil fuel industry a huge seat at the table while criminalizing climate activists is NOT the way to stop irreversible catastrophic fossil-fueled global heating. #COP27
Rest in peace to researcher, historian, writer, and comrade Mike Davis. May we honor him by holding a critical eye to the overlapping systems of violence, hostility, and power in Los Angeles and keeping up the fight for abolitionist, socialist futures.

Look at how the @MTA signs for masking on public transport have changed. The MTA is now appeasing anti-maskers and spreading public health misinformation that confuses people who still want to mask.
With no due respect, we refuse to live in a world where 500 people dying every day from Covid—12,000 a month—is “bullshit.”
We refuse to live in such a world, so we won’t. Not much more to be said about that. We will build a better world.
Promoting the con that affluent people's security depends on locking up and punishing poor people instead of working to make a society where people aren't poor and can get the care they need is the real crime.
One of Biden's most conspicuously broken promises is student debt cancellation. This isn't a nightmare from the Machin Synematic Universe, either: Biden can #CancelStudentDebt on his own, at the stroke of a pen, in the form of an Executive Order.
