ICYMI Saudi Arabian authoritarians aren’t the only ones who promote vanity megaprojects with price tags that are in the billions of dollars range that don’t go to plan and prove totally unnecessary and pointless. Capitalist billionaire oligarchs are good at this too.

My perpetual exhaustion feeds my introversion: I don’t have the energy to meet regularly with the one community I know that would be eager to be genuinely helpful. I have two, maybe three good friends at work who I’m not going to get together with on my one day off because I’m WAY too tired .

International #LeadPoisoning Prevention Week starts today.

Leaded fuel was banned around the world in 2021.

But lead can still be found in paint used in:
🏡 homes
🚸 schools
🛝 playgrounds
🪀 toys

Let’s ban lead in paint. 🔗 bit.ly/4qblGcM

An infographic with the title “FACT: Lead is toxic.” It explains that lead is harmful to everyone and damages the reproductive system, kidneys, liver, blood, and brain. It shows three groups affected:

Young children: most vulnerable because their nervous systems are still developing; they absorb 4–5 times more lead than adults, which can cause intellectual disability, poor school performance, and behavioural issues.

Adults: lead exposure increases the risk of ischemic heart disease and stroke.

Pregnant women: lead exposure damages many organs and affects the developing fetus.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

As the pro-democracy movement in America gets to the critical threshold of 12 million people determined to continue being a part of the activism, we’re going to get Neoliberal Liberals and Conservatives dulling its edges and stealing valor from the Progressives who started it and we can’t stop it.

I have seen a lot of people on here, notably almost entirely well connected people to the circles that organized No Kings, who have been extremely dismissive of this aspect of the rally.

They should not be. It is very important for understanding what is going on.
