Walmartization has been taught for over two decades in many courses in geography. Guess we are the lefty academic discipline who are neither economically illiterate nor socially clueless.

Gar sees himself in camera screen… *obscene cuteness warning* 🦑 🌎 🧪

Remember the revolutionaries

This is why I call it climate chaos, as in, “These rich fools are causing chaos” People are going to think this snow along the Gulf Coast disproves global warming. It is easier to understand the situation as chaos.

This is somehow even more cravenly pathetic than if they had just said nothing at all.

Gaza Ceasefire: Palestinian Lawyer Says Women, Children Released by Israel Faced Torture, Starvation

#Israel has #violated the #ceasefire agreement again. An Israeli sniper shot and killed a child in southern #Gaza and then shot at a man who tried to help him. 😡💔 #FreePalestine 🇵🇸 #WarCrimes

Joseph Biden will be remembered, above all else, for the genocide of Gaza. But I’d like to take a moment to reflect on his horrific environmental record. A few key points: 🧵

#Gaza: The destruction is abnormal, catastrophic, as if a nuclear bomb had hit the area. While the ceasefire in Gaza has finally been announced, in the past months people across the Strip have continued to suffer from Israeli forces' relentless bombardments.

Hind Rajab's name will haunt them for the rest of their lives.

Some context left out in the fanfare celebrating Biden’s closing of the US Pacific and Atlantic coasts to offshore drilling: 1. Drilling has already been banned in these areas for over a decade. 2. There is effectively no oil here. www.api.org/news-policy-...

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder: we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now. the climate crisis is here, all around us

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

Community is what gets us through hurricanes in the Gulf South. It will be your community in California that gets y’all through the hurricane fire too. Sending love and strength from the rainy side of climate chaos.

The fires in LA are violent. The bombs dropped on Gaza are violent. The over extraction and exploitation of our Earth is violent. The captivity and exploitation of nonhuman animals is violent. The mass incarceration, forced labor, and exploitation of humans is violent.…

Baby orcas get the same media treatment as Palestinian children and police victims. Their deaths are described passively and headlines are written to obscure the fact that we are starving this population to extinction by damming the rivers and extracting the salmon.

When you are mindful of the ecosystem around you, you become hyper aware of who is missing in action, whose populations are dwindling. The more you know, the more it hurts. I don’t want to watch species die off, it is heartbreaking. Still, I’d rather know...

You know the phase “When a child dies, an entire world dies"… well, I was wondering what could be said when an entire nonhuman species dies? How do we convey the immense impact this loss has? I think about how these worlds within our world are intricately woven…

🙃 “The USDA certainly never dreamed of culling the infected animals” … this is not true. The U.S. never dreamed of holding the industry accountable. The animal agriculture industry is subsidized and bailed out by the gov with our tax money. There is no financial incentive for …

You lost me at, “Outbreaks of H5N1 in agricultural animals are concerning; however, they’re also something governments across the globe have been successfully handling with aggressive elimination tactics for decades.” The issue is far worse than this. Let me explain …

Scientists who still drink cow’s milk and eat dead chickens and their eggs warning us we’re on the brink of a H5N1 pandemic 🫠

Question everything.

In 2024 many of us faced an enormous amount of social and economic threats for standing against g3nocide. We were called “terrorists”& “terrorist supporters” Many of us encountered people who described in detail how we’d be thrown off of roof tops/assaulted. In 2025 I will stay mad about everything.

When BSky deletes actual Palestinians from this site, which it does often, scammers steal & use their photos to profit off a genocide. Thus BSky is enabling this abuse to continue & real people suffer. See this thread below. Don’t conflate them with real Palestinians. Demand BSky stop being racist

Then not far from Jackson, there are factory farms way too close to Pearl River, Mississippi Band of Choctaw. I’m not legally allowed to take photos of animal agriculture, due to Ag-gag laws, but Google satellite is fair game. Nitrate is the primary pollutant in the water.

A few miles before arriving in Jackson, Mississippi, something smelled terrible. Checked my map, and as I suspected, I was surrounded by factory farms. Definitely not my first disco, I know the smell.

Israel has deprived access to water in Gaza by nearly 95%, leaving Palestinians with approximately 4% the amount of water the UN deems necessary for basic survival. www.hrw.org/report/2024/...

The USFWS used its Endangered Species Act emergency authority today to protect the blue tree monitor lizard that is highly coveted in the pet trade. This monitor lizard only exists in the wild on Batanta Island in Indonesia. More info ➡️ biodiv.us/4a08aRB

I was thinking about this recently because he wants to deport immigrants. He can’t do that and increase line speeds. The exploitation of non-human animals depends on the exploitation of humans. Meat and poultry are already the most dangerous occupations in the U.S. with highest serious injury rate.

Another day, another development in panthers' home. A development called Bellmar would bring thousands of new houses within a mile of #FloridaPanther National Wildlife Refuge, destroying more than 1,800 acres in the panthers' primary zone. But you can help: Take action at the link below ⬇️

The problem with this world is that almost everyone tries to rationalize or downplay the injustice, whether it is against non-human animals or against other humans, they've been trained to support.

Something I noticed when filling out medical forms is that there were only two options Caucasian or Black. I don’t know who is medically considered Caucasian, is it really everyone who isn’t Black? What about other PoC and mixed people? It just…
