Minor *WAS RAPED.
Fucking really with this shit? The linguistic gymnastics that the media will co-opt or create just to avoid printing what men are doing to women and girls - that is, raping and abusing us with virtually zero consequences - never ceases to amaze.
@PlantH0e@breaking_teeth This thread is a lot. You could spend your time getting people active about what's going on, educate them about why the rainforest is burning but you're hateful and attacking people who are on a learning curve and doing their best. At best gatekeeping caring about the rainforest?
I met Bex at a campaign stop in Pelican Town today. She told me that in order to keep her farm operating she needs to work as a farmer, a miner, and a fisherman. No American should have to work three jobs to make ends meet.
It’s unacceptable that the Administration’s domestic gag rule has forced out the largest reproductive health care & birth control provider in the Title X Program. This is an attack on reproductive health care & threatens access to care for people across the county.
As burning rainforest turns day to night in São Paulo, who are the sinister forces benefitting from Bolsonaro’s catastrophic environmental policy? https://t.co/ecefXAATuQ
🌎The #AmazonFires show there can be no #GreenNewDeal w/out indigenous rights
🌳By safeguarding sovereignty over ancestral lands-- which make up 1/4 of the earth's surface-- we can reverse deforestation
⚖️#GND is our best shot at stabilizing the climate & repairing injustice

For 2 years we’ve fought to preserve [our reservation] & these assholes came in & burned it down.
They are killing our rivers, our sources of life, & now they have set our reserve on fire. Tomorrow we are closing the roads & I want all the media here to see this.
People are deliberately starting fires in the #AmazonRainforest to illegally deforest indigenous land for cattle ranching
