The plan to drill a new tunnel, build an industrial haul road, and lower the level of Spirit Lake would be absolutely catastrophic for the lake, the recovering blast zone, and for local communities. It would also waste hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars.

Megadam “will dwarf all other hydroelectric projects in the world with its estimated 300 terawatts of annual power output - three times output of Three Gorges Dam on Yangtze, world's current largest dam, more than entire U.S. produced in net hydropower in 2024.” www.livescience.com/planet-earth...

'They are trying to tame nature': China is building the world's biggest dam in an earthquake-prone region of Tibet

China is building a dam system that will generate more hydroelectric power than the U.S. generates yearly. But the project comes with huge risks for people downstream.

Braun has been my #LD20 state senator for many years. We are on opposite sides on almost every issue, especially climate & protecting public lands. #WA03 rep race should not be GOP Braun nor GOP lookalike MGP. #Hennrich looks to me to be fantastic candidate! Progressives - let’s give him a boost.

Good news! In a blow to Trump's 'drill, baby drill' agenda, zero companies bid for the chance to drill for oil and gas in Alaska's Cook Inlet. This comes after we notified the Interior Department last month of our intent to sue over the planned unlawful lease sale on March 4.

A federal deadline came and went this week for oil companies to bid on around 1 million acres of drilling territory off Alaska’s Cook Inlet.

“Red meat, in particular, has an outsized impact upon the planet—beef requires 20x more land and emits 20x more GHG per gram of protein than common plant proteins, such as beans.” #Vegetarian diets use far less water, land.

Does Drumpf realize his hypocrisy? He said “senseless killing of protesters [must] stop” not referring to here in US. Iranian protestors obviously shouldn’t be killed, but neither should we here peacefully expressing ourselves and fulfilling our humanitarian responsibility to protect our neighbors.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

RIP Renee Nicole Good. Tragic! My heart is with her child, wife, family, and friends. WTH has happened to the U.S. that I love??? I’m so sad for our country but I’ll keep on marching and protesting and using my free speech rights until we swing back to humanity, love, and care for each other.

Renee Nicole Good was 37 - A U.S. citizen - and a poet — her wife watched her be murdered and is now a single parent to a 6 year old This regime has been defined by the endless tragedies it’s caused — we owe it to the victims to fight for the accountability they 💯 percent deserve

Are the Republican congressional members going to continue to abdicate all their responsibilities under the U.S. constitution to provide oversight and check and balance over the executive branch? Even when Trump swoops into PM Carney’s bedroom, abducts him, and decides to “run” Canada too??? MF DJT.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Angus: We see this attack as setting the stage for an attack where Trump could go anywhere. The same language he’s used against Venezuela, he’s used against Canada—and he sees that we have immense resources. The difference is, good luck thinking that you are going to break the Canadian people.

Compare Mamdani’s speech w/ Trump’s crud about “hating” those who think differently than him or use their constitutional right to speak against hate, racism, cruelty. If dem party is to survive, they’ll listen, take notes, build-in a Dem Socialist platform. So proud to be New Yorker (by birth) today

Some men may downplay climate change risks to avoid appearing feminine

A new study finds that men who are anxious about their masculinity are less likely to care about climate change. They may view environmental concern as a feminine trait that threatens their image.
