"It is outrageously irresponsible that we still allow use of this dangerous poison in the United States," one campaigner said after the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer dubbed atrazine a probable carcinogen.

Zohran Mamdani standing beside the President of the United States just said that the US is funding Israel's genocide and yet can't take care of its own unhoused children on live television. I never thought I'd see something like that in my lifetime

Such an easy thing to do... and real effective against this administration. Don't buy ANYTHING from these businesses: TARGET, HOME DEPOT and especially AMAZON. NOTHING. Shop local for the holidays... from your business-owning friends and neighbors.

Amazing. This IS something that Portland would do... and they are actually doing it!

More of this, please. Much, much more.

It's @keribla.bsky.social's first story for @propublica.org! But it won't be her last on the Bureau of Prisons. Do you work for BOP and have tips, documents, or data you can share to paint a fuller picture of what’s going on inside? You should contact Keri. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Here in the US? Not so much.

Funny how that works, huh? And yet, her statement is mainstream thinking in the Democratic Party, particularly among those who take AIPAC money.

Your tax dollars still at work enabling this.

From Barry Blitt in the New Yorker:

Black Friday and Cyber Monday make up 20% of corporate retailers' annual sales. What better way to send a message to companies like Amazon, Target, and Home Depot, who don’t care about the very people lining their pockets, than to say, We Ain’t Buying It! WeAintBuyingIt.com

If we don't rapidly phase out fossil fuels, we can say goodbye to coral reefs, the Greenland and Antarctic icesheets, and permafrost. The results will not be pretty.
