THIS IS IMPORTANT. More important than most of what we all worry about. This affects those horrific troubles & is, in turn, affected by them. ALL, EVERYTHING centers on our sustainable Earth. Let’s do what we can, no matter how small or big to help our home planet survive.

Rachel Maddow loses it talking about “tender age shelters”. This is what they call the facilities that hold the children of undocumented people who have been detained. They make them wear orange jumpsuits like prisoners while they wait without their families. There are 3 in TX.
This is insane.

Fossil fuels are the source material for most plastics + for the chemicals added to them. As firms lose their iron grip on energy production, indications are they're shifting to using oil + gas for plastic production, which has more than doubled since 2000 + looks set rise 40% in the next 10 years.
