We talk about species extinction, but the real story is ecosystem extinction.
When ecosystems disappear, they take thousands of species with them, named or not.
Most of those losses never enter a database.

Wouldn't want to upset corporate donor-owners
Once again, Democrats prove that they are mostly fascists. Even those 98 aren't all anti-fascists, maybe 10 or 20, but it's good that we're drawing lines that aren't just blindly partisan for once.
BREAKING: The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.

Eighty-six Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Pretty sure it's "too late" but if we had or have any chance...
"The good news is that these policies are highly popular and can form the basis of a winning political platform. Democratic socialism is a viable path — indeed, the only path — to a safe and just future."

Can Socialism Solve the Climate Crisis?
Governments globally are failing to combat climate change because they prioritise profit over the planet — for real change, the capitalist mode of production must be overhauled.

National Parks are a mirror of democracy — owned by the people, protected for all. Which is why, in an age of privatization and neglect, they’ve never been more imperiled.

Partly because so many formerly leftwing parties have turned to the right, there's a lot of confusion about what right and left mean in politics. I hope this helps:

The right defends economic power.

The left resists economic power.
