Nearly 100% of Kuwait’s drinking water is produced by FF-powered desalination plants. When energy falters, water vanishes. When water vanishes, cities don’t slowly decline; they stop. This is what climate vulnerability actually looks like. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/middle...

This is where the UAW needs to swing into action.

🚨Cody Roberts, charged with felony animal cruelty for torturing a wolf, is now asking the court to dismiss his case. Allowing this would send a dangerous message that extreme violence toward wildlife can be excused. Justice for wildlife depends on accountability. https://bit.ly/45BYvzD

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."

I am begging Democratic leadership to recognize that funding and legitimizing your authoritarian opponent’s secret police is a bad idea. This should not be a difficult concept.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Geological.Biological. Hydrological. Climatic. These aren't just"natural disasters" anymore. They are nature's systemic response to human imposition. Our greed accelerates the frequency. It's not an "act of God," but a reaction to human action. #ClimateAction #Anthropocene

Something we should do away with in the #NewYear? Blood-thinning rat poisons! In a new 2024 statewide survey released by the CA Dept. of Fish & Wildlife, the powerful anticoagulant #rodenticides were found in the bodies of 95% of mountain lions and 69% of nontarget wildlife tested. bit.ly/4aaRJ6Y
