.@RBC is the parent company of @CityNational & funding the exploitation of Indigenous land! It’s time to #JustLookUp and end their support! Join indigenous & youth climate leaders tomorrow at DTLA Pershing Square at 12:30 to support #HandsOff Wet’suwet’en land! #NoMoreDirtyBanks
.@BLMNational The Biden administration promised a strong commitment to environmental justice and tribal consultation. So why are the Hualapai’s cultural resources facing this threat from mining interests? https://t.co/6i13nTFi2O

Russian and Ukrainian negotiators are reportedly getting closer to a peace deal to end the war. @PhyllisBennis of @IPS_DC explains what that could look like.
Syrian activist and filmmaker Waad Al-Kateab describes how Russia has bombed hospitals and devastated Syrian cities since entering the war on the side of Bashar al-Assad.
"All of this now, it's happening again in Ukraine," says Al-Kateab (@WaadAlKateab).
While the U.S. criticizes other countries' use of cluster munitions as inhumane, it "insists on the right to use them itself" in its own wars, says Steve Goose of @HRW. "This is an inherently indiscriminate weapon."
Biden's failure to shut down the #GuantanamoBay prison a year into his presidency speaks far louder than his words, our @PhyllisBennis says in a new piece by @ShaolinTom@Newsweek.
"It doesn't matter whether he agrees or not, as long as he allows it to remain, it is his policy."
"Every internationally known human rights organization recognizes Israeli apartheid, and @amnesty is arguably the most influential of them all."
New from our @PhyllisBennis@commondreams: #ApartheidIsrael has been unequivocally exposed. Now what do we do?

Meanwhile in Afghanistan... tens of thousands seeking refuge; five million children facing famine; 500% increase in child marriages; children being sold to feed families... Not a mention of it.
My god, they must be wondering what makes their humanitarian crisis so unimportant.
I have so much respect for the incredibly brave people in Russia who are risking so much by being out in the streets protesting what their corrupt president is doing.
An excellent and swift decision that will save Ukrainian lives.
Now, let’s respond with this same urgency and compassion towards Black and brown migrants too.
This should be standard practice. Full stop.
This is what Oligarchy and Authoritarianism is all about. Putin is not only destroying Ukraine and the Russian economy. He is now in the process of ending the last vestiges of Russian democracy and free speech.

🔴 BREAKING

The best thing the US can do to help Ukraine is to convince Putin that de-escalation is a less costly and risky option for him than continuing the war. Calling for regime change or assassination does the opposite.
