Traditional #ecology carries the risk that we will not change our relationship with #nature and our #lifestyle.
It advocates limiting destruction, but does not question the understanding of the #earth and life as a resource. It deals with the symptoms of the problem, not its causes. It will not bring us harmonious coexistence with intact nature.

We can only create lasting balance with all life on the #planet if we see ourselves as part of nature.

We can’t just burn carbon now and suck it out of the atmosphere later

Tree-planting programs, seaweed plantations, and fantastical engineering projects won’t save us

Iran is in turmoil primarily because the religious fascists running their country spent their decades in power executing their religious authoritarianism, and allowed Tehran's aquifers to run dry. What we need to UNDERSTAND here is that it is happening in America, all across this country, because the Republicans and Democrats are capitalists before they are Americans, and prioritized corporate greed over human need.

The Guardian: Ice secretly deported Pennsylvania grandfather, 82, after he lost green card

"...Family of Luis Leon say they were initially told by someone he had died, but they found him alive in Guatemala hospital..."

"...long-time Allentown resident Luis Leon – who was granted political asylum in the US in 1987 after being tortured under the regime of the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet – lost his wallet containing the physical card that confirmed his legal residency. So he and wife booked an appointment to get it replaced.

When he arrived at the office on 20 June, however, he was handcuffed by two Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) officers, who led him away from his wife without explanation, she said..."

Secretary of the Navy Phelan, has "cancelled" the Navy's Climate Action 2030 Plan.
That plan was designed to help the Navy prepare for the now unavoidable security impacts of climate change and to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.
This action will make the US more vulnerable and less prepared for the security risks of climate change.

The Trump admin is killing off the datasets that tell us what’s working and what’s broken — from maternal mortality and drug use to climate emissions and child welfare.

No data = no accountability. No measurement = no problem… right?

ProPublica lays it all out:

I'm going to cradle your face gently in both my hands when I say this because I need you to hear me.

If only citizens have the right to due process, then nobody has the right to due process.

Because once you're in custody on some trumped up charges, all it takes is for them to say you're not a citizen. And then you don't have the right to due process to prove them wrong. So I'm going to say it again.

If ONLY citizens have due process, then NOBODY has due process.
