At an environmental law conference and Palestine has come up in nearly every single panel. As it should.

We are just $8268.05CAD/5817.15USD away from 1.5 million USD. If just 290 people donated $20USD we’d get there in no time! donate: bit.ly/eSimsRUs #ConnectingGaza

Instead of the French Resistance, we have the American Acquiescence. Everyone eagerly obeying in advance oughta be ashamed of themselves.

Steve Bannon: "The people of Israel got to understand something. The number one enemy to the people in Israel are American Jews that do not support Israel and do not support MAGA. Okay, MAGA and the evangelical Christians and the traditional Catholics in this country have Israel's back..."

Another whopper of an email from the EPA, calling what I believe are IRA-allocated funds “gold bars” and claiming their distribution is fraud or waste. This is beyond irresponsible.

EPA press release bragging about placing almost 200 employees on leave for the crime of promoting equity, while also claiming to, well, promote equity.

Given that I spent much of last year calling his offices without reaching a human and never got a response, this does not surprise. Anyhow he has an office in downtown Tucson now, Pioneer building.

Tucson! Rapid response training Sunday (tomorrow!) at 2pm at Southside Presbyterian Church.

Important emails I get at work these days.

Do stuff do stuff do stuff! Don’t just doomscroll!

If you’re planning to spam this (or any other) OPM email address, use a burner email.

If you have an iPhone, you need to proactively turn off Siri or Apple Intelligence from each of your apps. It’s in there by default, even in Signal. Settings —> Apps —>within each app find AI or Siri —> toggle it off.

BREAKING: Pima County will close both of its migrant shelters it runs in Tucson at midnight, January 26 as the number of asylum seekers released by DHS dwindles and federal funding (reimbursing cost associated w/ housing migrants) has been paused by the Trump Administration pending review.

Good to see Derechos Humanos continuing its critical work in Tucson. @azluminaria.bsky.social

The NASA director has issued an agency-wide letter disbanding all DEI offices and contracts, and creating a narc line for reporting DEI by any other name (with consequences for failure to report).

I don’t expect any individual or institution that stood silent in the face of a genocide last year (that’s still ongoing) to do anything but acquiesce as that fascism grows bigger at home. Don’t look to them. Look to the people who refused to get in line or remain quiet.

It’s January 21, 2025, and the EPA website looks the same as it did before, including the Climate Change tab. Documenting for posterity.

Leonard Peltier is finally going home.

This is the Laken Riley Act, which Arizona Senators should know will just demonize and terrorize brown people. Shame on Sens Kelly and Gallego.

I’d like to be hopeful about a ceasefire, but Israel rarely keeps its end of the deal. And even when the fire ceases, Palestinians are still surrounded by and controlled by a country that has proven itself willing at every level from prime minister to soldier to shooting children in the head.

Getting these grants involved a lot of work, and for the administration to pull one just because the organization actually stood for what it stands for - environmental justice - is appalling and also totally on brand.

Do everything you can to make health insurance companies’ work difficult, and to advocate for your own health.

I get that Hunter’s prosecution was “political,” but how is Leonard Peltier or Steve Donziger’s not? For that matter, how is criminal prosecution that objectively targets poor people and POC not political? Free them all.

israel does not seem to be actually ceasing fire in their lebanon ceasefire apnews.com/article/isra...

“Herd immunity” is slang for sacrificing disabled people. This country’s consistent disregard for and desire to eliminate disabled folks must be resisted.

Around this time every year, I share a list of ways to support Native people. From supporting Indigenous people seeking abortion care to defending Native voting rights and keeping Native families together, here are some causes worth supporting. 🧵

Photos are circulating on social media, alongside reports that the Israeli army is rounding up and blindfolding Palestinian doctors, nurses, and patients outside a hospital in northern Gaza. Some of those detained are seen with catheter bags, nasogastric tubes, IV drips, and crutches.
