Kamala is all out of f*cks and I’m here for it 🔥

We see you, @codepink.bsky.social

Your paid performative agitators pop up on her book tour like they think we don’t know the VP’s job.

The VP doesn’t set Middle East policy, the President does. The VP’s role is to support the President, period.

Not-so-gentle reminder that one senator can use his privilege to pretty much grind the senate to a halt.
Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Horrific..."the waters of the northern Pacific Ocean where these sleek seabirds spend much of their time were unusually warm, the start of what would become the largest marine heat wave on record. The murres that made landfall were emaciated, showing they had starved to death." 😱

Scientists just confirmed the largest bird-killing event in modern history
A marine heat wave in the Pacific Ocean killed some 4 million common murres in Alaska, researchers say — the largest die-off of any bird species ever recorded in the modern era.

🛑 Stop buying "Pure Antarctic Krill Omega-3" supplements!

"We’re not talking about food security here or any kind of necessity. This is fishing for profit." — Peter Hammarstedt, Sea Shepherd Global.

A horrific, if not entirely surprising piece by Ian Urbina on human rights abuses on the Chinese deep sea fishing fleet.

It is too easy to ignore what happens at sea, and Urbina’s work is so important in aging a light in it.

The Crimes Behind the Seafood You Eat
China has invested heavily in an armada of far-flung fishing vessels, in part to extend its global influence. This maritime expansion has come at grave human cost.

Instead of yet another #BlackFriday "bargain", Sea Shepherd is asking you to spend #ForTheOcean by DOUBLING the price for this limited-edition, sustainably produced tee "not for profit, but because real change takes investment." ✊

Nature is our life support system. Perhaps we can remember & recognise this by switching off the horrid machine that is Black Friday.

This article by @georgemonbiot.bsky.social is still brilliant & so relevant.

Too right it's Black Friday: our relentless consumption is trashing the planet | Black Friday | The Guardian
Growth must go on – and it’s destroying the Earth. But there’s no way of greening it. So we need a new system, writes Guardian columnist George Monbiot
