While the Trump regime is sending ICE agents to disappear immigrants from our streets, and armed national guard to threaten protestors, Trump is trying to distract us with an imperial war against Venezuela. We're not having it!

like saying there is more daylight will make it so
freetailed.bsky.social Dr. Jennifer Krauel @freetailed.bsky.social · 23d
'...daylight saving time reproduces the same destructive logic that has led humans and nonhumans into the present socio-ecological crises.'

we accept this disruption in the name of productivity, but the reality is that we're just making the billionaires richer and killing the planet faster
An Indigenous approach shows how changing the clocks for daylight saving time runs counter to human nature – and nature itself
While the rest of nature rises and slumbers to lunar and solar cycles, humans work and sleep to the resetting of their artificial clocks.

Hey PDX, got any Labor Day plans? Join us for a trip up to the ICE facility in Tacoma! Even if you can't ride with us, come in the morning to make art and join in the send-off party!
Oregon Rising is working with the International Migrants Alliance, the Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition and others to organize a migrant defense rally and Portland caravan to the Tacoma Ice center on Labor Day (Sept 1st). This event will include a press conference to kick-off Oregon Rising. We're really excited that the first Oregon Rising event is focused on defending our immigrant friends, family members and neighbors and challenging the unconstitutional, illegal and cruel actions taken against them.  Getting a huge crowd to the rally is important as is getting folks on buses and into carpools to join us in Tacoma (there is a link in the flyer to sign up for the trip to Tacoma). If you have friends or family who might be interested, talk to them! If you are part of a member organization, you can spread the word and bring your organization's people power to join in the action on Labor Day!  We're hoping to fill two free busses with 100 seats!

Anyone catch our BOYCOTT CHEVRON banner hanging over I5 today in Portland? @srti.bsky.social & @xrpdx.bsky.social are there to spread the word that Chevron provides a majority of power to Israel and profits greatly from Palestinian genocide.

#BoycottChevron #BDS #FreePalestine
Three scientists standing on a freeway overpass bridge wearing labcoats. The labcoats are decorated with logos and messaging from Scientist Rebellion. One has their back to the camera and raised fist. Another wears a tshirt saying "Let Gaza Live" and is holding a sign that says "Starvation is a WAR CRIME - CHEVRON complicit in Genocide". Behind them on the chainlink fence is a Palestinian flag and a poster that says "together we have POWER, Boycott Chevron". You can also see the canvas back of a banner facing oncoming traffic that says BOYCOTT CHEVRON. Chevron supplies 70% of Israeli power, thus enabling the genocide of Palestinians (in addition to wrecking the climate). This banner in Portland OR was part of a day-long action involving anti-Chevron banners over Interstate 5 from California to Washington state.

Today's headlines are a stark reminder of a world driven mad by the power of the oil industry

30,000 air pollution deaths a year!

Even if it wasn't destroying our life support system, extending the fossil fuel age kills people and puts unnecessary pressure on the NHS

These decisions kill people

PDX folks: ICE is definitely active here, at least one man was abducted today when going in for an immigration court date. If you see something, call PIRC and report the place, the time, what the ICE agents looked like, what they were doing, and how many people they snatched

In the past year we've had a series of papers with results that've shocked #climate scientists - the globe is heating #FasterThanExpected & we don't fully know why

The public discourse is not keeping up.

Here's a series of 5 new studies that climate hawks & journos need to have on their radar 🧵
