Sidestepping the bureaucracy

Biden should go all out on climate for the next 75 days.

Declare a climate emergency. Get all the IRA money out the door. Permit new transmission lines. Stop new LNG exports. Ban drilling on public lands.

Make a mountain of progress for Trump to try and undo.

The thing about running to the right is that Republicans are better at being the right, so if people want to vote for the right they will vote for Republicans

There is something huge happening in the prison industry and no one appears to be paying attention: the correctional healthcare sector is collapsing. THREAD

[Worth Rises @WorthRises]

BREAKING: Wellpath, the nation's largest prison healthcare provider is preparing to file for bankruptcy despite making $2.4Bn in revenues annually. This is the next in a line of providers facing financial troubles due at least in part to malpractice.

For nearly three decades, the nuclear industry has spun itself as cheap, clean & green, not old, dirty & dangerous. It was always based on lies: its not green, its unsafe, its expensive, its linked to nuclear weapons & it has an intractable waste problem https://t.co/hgAV2xiBzi

Corporate Accountability se suma a pedir:

#BastaDePublicidadChatarra

"Las estrategias de publicidad y promoción que utilizan las industrias de alimentos y bebidas ultraprocesados encuentran muchas similitudes con las que emplearon y emplean la industria tabacalera para fomentar el consumo de sus productos de tabaco y nicotina principalmente entre niños, niñas y adolescentes, tal y como lo ha documentado recientemente el informe de la Relatoría de Derechos Económicos, Sociales y Culturales en su informe sobre enfermedades no transmisibles y derechos humanos en la región de las Américas.

Un llamado a implementar los aprendizajes de desarrollos normativos que ha desarrollado el convenio marco para el control de tabaco para abordar y hacerle frente a esta problemática."
¡Basta YA de Publicidad Chatarra!

Corporate Accountability

[Aaron Regunberg @AaronRegunberg]

Today, @Public_Citizen and @fjp_org released a report showing Big Oil companies + CEOs could be *criminally* prosecuted for reckless endangerment. By increasing the risk of climate disasters, they're endangering lives. That's a crime. We should prosecute.🧵https://t.co/6ju0vSQqyh

[Jamie Henn @jamieclimate]

WHOA! New York officials are calling for Big Oil to be *criminally prosecuted* for climate disasters.

They say the oil companies have engaged in “reckless endangerment” by fueling and lying about the climate crisis.

It’s time to #MakePollutersPay.

as we mark october 7th & one year of genocide in Gaza, i keep revisiting this feb 2023 post by a @newyorker journalist who saw a Palestinian man assaulted by an Israeli soldier right in front of him & focused on how dehumanizing it was for the SOLDIER

Western media has failed us

[Dissenters 🌊 @wearedissenters]

“Imperialism has laid its body over the world, the head in Eastern Asia, the heart in the Middle East, its arteries reaching Africa and Latin America. Wherever you strike it, you damage it, and you serve the World Revolution…The Palestinian cause is not a cause for Palestinians only, but a cause for every revolutionary, wherever he is, as a cause of the exploited and oppressed masses in our era.” -Ghassan Kanafani
