What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

Silencing scientists who sound the alarm won’t stop glaciers from melting, droughts from deepening, or crops from failing. That’s not controversial: it’s physics.

A bit anti-climactic, but we finally got the termination notice for our Department of Energy, Solar Energy Technology Office grant.

"This project does not effectuate the Department of Energy's priorities of ensuring affordable, reliable, and abundant energy to meet growing demand and/or addresses the national emergency declared pursuant to Executive Order 14156.
The Department has reviewed your financial assistance agreement in accordance with this policy and determined that this project is not consistent with this Administration's goals, policies and priorities."

Oil companies have a long history of violating tribal sovereignty and going against the wills of the Indigenous nations just so they can line their pockets.
It’s despicable and needs to be called out. Calling out Citibank for enabling oil companies to run rampant.

"The people in charge of the US military explicitly -- not secretly, *explictly* -- support war crimes & war criminals" is one of those things that's kind of hard to believe even when you write it out and stare at it with that familiar sense of dull ache.

There is something wrong with our information ecosystem.

"Production of fossil fuels AND green energy is needed to power the future," says investment firm with $400 billion in fossil fuel investments.

The article cites their "research" with not one mention of their conflicted interests.

BlackRock says fossil fuels AND green energy are needed for future

The fund manager says soaring global energy demand will require more fossil fuels and also more renewables, creating opportunities for investors across the market.

Abstract As the planet warms, new authoritarian movements in the West are embracing a toxic combination of climate denial, racism and misogyny. Rather than consider these resentments separately, this article interrogates their relationship through the concept of petro-masculinity,
which appreciates the historic role of fossil fuel systems in buttressing white patriarchal rule. Petro-masculinity is helpful to understanding how the anxieties aroused by the Anthropocene can augment desires for authoritarianism. The concept of petro-masculinity suggests that fossil fuels mean more than profit; fossil fuels also contribute to making identities, which poses risks for post-carbon energy politics. Moreover, through a psycho-political reading of authoritarianism, I show how fossil fuel use can function as a violent compensatory practice in reaction to gender
and climate trouble.

I made this little video about residential schools. This is personal to me because my grandma was taken by those schools and it forever altered her life.
I wonder what her life, and the lives of so many, would be like if they were never subjected to those abuses.

Today is Truth and Reconciliation Day and we honor those who survived the horrific residential school system, but also the children who never came home.
Colonization has tried to take Indigenous children and culture, but it failed.
Indigenous people are still here.
