Remember National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation? The United States' presence in the Gulf reminds me of Cousin Eddie dumping his RV poop tank down the storm drain. What a great neighbor we are to Latin America and the Caribbean.

The Trump admin has until March 13th to approve or reject "Kaskida," BP's proposed ultra-deepwater drilling project. According to BP's proposal, Kaskida has the potential to spill up to 4.5 million barrels of oil into the Gulf — and it could take 100 days to control the spill. Take action.

My best contributions to the positive advancement of this artistic endeavor are to (1) refrain from direct participation and (2) promote it with a post to my half dozen followers.

Data centers are such BS. The entire chain is anti-human. Land acquisition. Power generation. Water consumption/pollution. Net negative job growth. Net negative intellectual development. Wealth transfer to Silicon Valley. And every dystopian novel, ever. ZERO upside aside from construction jobs.

"The truth is simple: all of us require water, food, and reciprocal relationships with the biodiversity of species. The first steps are simple. Don’t click on AI." More on data centers from our Mid MI organizer Dr. Nichole Keway Biber: nativenewsonline.net/opinion/data...

Carpet bomb enough civilians and eventually the per-incident casualty rate will go down. Screw up the ecosystem enough through climate change, and eventually the ecological fallout from major disasters won't be quite so extreme. This is where we're at.

The Great Lakes are heating up - thanks to polluting fossil fuel emissions. For us, it's just another reason to #ShutDownLine5. What do you think? Sound off in the replies👇 bridgemi.com/michigan-env...

This child wasn't alive on October 7. His entire life was lived in a war zone. Never forget this. bsky.app/profile/jose...

This is absolute horror. The fate of this innocent child is by the hands of our leaders and their policies. While I did not do this, I also did not stop it. When the only emancipation anyone can count on in this world is death, we are all doomed. This must be stopped. bsky.app/profile/jose...

Three-month-old Ahmed Baha Taleb has died from malnutrition and severe shortages of food and essential vitamins amid the ongoing Israeli siege and genocide in Gaza.

The Global West has higher regard for lab animals than Gazans.

Palestinians are being killed near aid-distribution sites run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which is staffed by private security contractors and backed by the United States and Israel. @mosababutoha.bsky.social writes about the worsening crisis.

The brutal tyranny of today makes the brutal tyranny of yesterday seem hopeful. Gaza has been bolted to the human rights equivalent of a medieval torture rack for the past year and a half, each day stretching and breaking sinew and bone more than the last.

BREAKING: Gaza’s Health Ministry warns Israel is trying to shut down Nasser Hospital The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza says Israel has notified residents near Nasser Medical Complex that the area is now an “evacuation and operations zone,” triggering panic among patients and civilians.

How do you address leaks across the Straits from decaying and new oil transfer infrastructure? Cut federal monitoring funds! Same strategy works for poor cholesterol tests - don't go to the doctor! Or that rattle in your engine - avoid the mechanic! Brilliant job, Team Orange.

Why is it that every day since January 20 has reminded me of the Enabling Act of 1933?

IPR News@iprnews.bsky.social · last yr.

President Donald Trump’s executive order declared a national energy emergency, which cleared the way for energy projects to receive emergency status. While the tunnel project’s emergency status will speed up the Army Corps’ review, it’s not clear exactly how much faster it will be.
