In the first two years of his presidency, Joe Biden approved 6,430 permits for oil and gas drilling on US public lands, compared to 6,172 approved by Donald Trump in the first two years of his presidency.

When criticized for breaking his campaign pledges on the climate catastrophe (“No more drilling on federal lands, period. Period. Period. Period.”), Biden played a silly little semantic game and claimed these were all *old* applications and that he was just working through a backlog rather than approving new permits. Tee hee!

Meanwhile, Biden has since decreased the number of new permits he’s approving. That’s good! The problem is that the number needed to be zero a decade or more ago, *and it’s still growing.* Growth at a slower rate is still growth.

If our elites will not provide an electoral option for addressing the climate catastrophe, people can and should start defending themselves instead.

white people: don't curate a list of bipoc who supposedly agree with you and be like

"See if you disagree with me YOU"RE RACIST!"

i feel like I shouldn't have to say this like, you should know that's a weird tokenizing thing that erases differences amongst bipoc ( especially when the people you're quoting have subtle disagreements themselves )

it's just so on the nose for a white ally desperately trying to not seem racist

a bunch of queer people line up in front of me, as far as the eye can see

i walk down the line and speak their crimes:

"messed up a context warning once"
