extractive industry continues to treat the #earth and her ancient precious #minerals as little more than profit-potential. Meanwhile, this self-dealing too often entails the wholesale #exploitation of #IndigenousPeoples and the destruction of the #SacredLands and #ecosystems upon which our communities depend.

Indigenous Peoples across northern Nevada are no strangers to this paradigm. In our newest video installment documenting the #OxSamCamp resistance,

It would appear that “former Tory MP Antoinette Sandbach has threatened the University of Cambridge with legal action after a historian named her as a descendant of merchants who enslaved his ancestors.”

Does Mitch McConnell have a family? Does anyone love him enough to talk with him about... the finite nature of life. The preciousness of hours, minutes seconds?

How from dust we all have come and to dust we shall all return?

He could be petting some kittens. Listening to the sound of a child's laugh-- Dude really wants to die in front of us holding a pen mid-way through signing a bill that forces orphans to work in coal mines or something.

A judge smacked down Peter Navarro disallowing his use of “executive privilege” in his contempt of congress trial

Then Navarro went outside to collect another L from a protestor

Is Peter Navarro a socialist?

Because he loves being publicly owned.

"Why is Trump so eager to get a Biden impeachment underway? Not to retaliate against the Democrats for impeaching him. It’s mainly to have Biden impeachment stories run at the same time as Trump trial stories. That way, Trump and his Republican enablers can deflect attention from the trials and confuse the public with arguments that Biden is even more guilty of something."

@Kjl Why do people always say things like "risk is everywhere in life" to justify taking risks and not to justify being safer?

Anyway, life's definitely too short to get sick, and my main takeaway from the last couple years is that I won't get sick (no covid, flus, or colds) if I mask up and forsake public life. At this point I simply don't understand why anyone wouldn't choose this lifestyle. The cure to the common cold was in our hands this entire time, it's solidarity.

Fun reminder that Lucille Ball is the only reason that Star Trek exists.

As the head of Desilu Productions, she green-lighted a pilot; then when it was deemed "too cerebral" by the networks, funded a financially-risky SECOND pilot that got the series picked up by NBC.

“I think long COVID is the inconvenient truth that some of us are choosing to sweep under the carpet. This is unfortunate, and it makes the crisis even more invisible, less talked about and reduces our prospects of addressing the challenges of long COVID as expeditiously as possible.”— @zalaly
