It’s ludicrous that we need a dead man’s emails to validate what over a thousand women have already lived, spoken, and survived. How loud do women have to be before the world finally listens?

That’s not ignorance! That’s a choice!

REC partnered with an Environmental Ethics class at @sienauniversity to study the Dunn Landfill. Thanks to Siena Student Max Carter for creating a series of infographics to educate about the Dunn Landfill. This is the first of five in the series! @sienaenvironmentalclub

It’s time for the DEC and Waste Connections to have another think about locating a landfill next to a school. Thank you to the New York Civil Liberties Union!

I’m done funding cruelty. Target cuts DEI, Amazon bankrolls this administration, and Home Depot lets ICE terrorize workers on their lots.
My money stays with small shops and people-first businesses. How about you? #WeAintBuyingIt

Are you a business that's colluding with ICE? Caving to the biased attacks on DEI? Funding this administration for tax cuts?

Guess what? #WeAintBuyingIt Nov 27–Dec 1, instead we are putting our money where are values are.

Resolution from Rensselaer County (NY) Legislature, but mums the word from DEC and Gov. Holding firm on their socially irresponsible decision to place a landfill next to a school and to consistently continue its operation in spite of all the documented opposition from all areas of the community.

New videos posted at stopdunn.org. This 3 minute plus video shows the school and the landfill in October.

How could the State ever think such a location would be safe for the kids going to that school? Go to stopdunn.org to see more videos.

Want to see what’s going on next to the school and your neighborhood brought to you compliments of NYS and your “good neighbor”, Waste Connections Dunn Landfill?

How did this happen? The song “Money Changes Everything” by Cindy Lauper sums up a lot of it!

Don’t you want to know what is going into the air from the Dunn Landfill? It can’t possibly be good to be breathing it. Since the State of New York is supposed to protect people you have ask why they don’t do the testing to find out what is inhaled by the kids in the school. Here is one answer $$$

As the government shutdown drags on, federal employees who support the country's airports, such as air traffic controllers and TSA workers, say they are still in the dark about when they will next be paid.

I am planning on going to No Kings gathering this weekend in central Texas. And since I was terminated by MSNBC a few weeks ago, can someone let me know where to pick up paycheck that GOP keeps talking about. I have asked many folks going to No Kings, and none are getting paid.

Everyone sing along!

🎶Don’t cry for us, Argentina.
We’re like Canada, only much meaner.
And we gave up healthcare,
For your peso to be finer,
So you could steal our soybean exports.
That went to China.🎶
