•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
“We do not seek regime change” Trump declares as he escalates his regime change war against Iran. Neocons like Graham/Bolton are cheering. To all who voted for Trump bc of his antiwar rhetoric, it’s time to realize he lied to u. Stand with me against Trump’s Iran War! #TrumpsWar
@vcdgf555 This is an infantile response to a man with a stutter and a cold having a less than spectacular FIRST debate. There is a near zero chance of an open convention in either party. This is already a race with decided horses. One means the continuation of democracy as we know it
@MollyMcKew Ah a cheeky vimto! There’s a great video of Charlotte Church saying she and her friends got drunk on cheeky vimtos and belted out Because We Want To outside of Billie Pipers house
I see Edward Snowden logged back on today from an undisclosed location in Russia to try to gin up domestic unrest in the US. I hope everyone can see through that.
Men, please speak up more as allies for women. No one should be telling a woman what she should or should not be doing with her own body. That’s her own damn business.
NO MATTER WHAT those dorks @ the Supreme Court say about abortion — you (yes, YOU!) can get abortion pills mailed to you no matter where you live.

@AidAccessUSA does “advanced provision” which means you don’t have to be pregnant to get them!
Considering that psycho wife caught overheard on a call with her husband giving him permission to rape Ukrainian women they probably are so brainwashed this is true to a %
Messaging on Russian state TV: they want the West to know that an average Russian person is even more bloodthirsty than Putin himself, that they want Russia's invasion of Ukraine to continue and are disappointed that world leaders visiting Zelensky weren't killed along with him.
