If Anyone Can Pull Off a General Strike, It’s Minnesotans The massive outpouring of support for Friday’s day of action against ICE builds on long-term organizing that residents of the North Star State have tended to for a long time.

“I watched video afterwards, and you can hear that agent cocking his gun ... I just remember telling the students to get back because kids were literally still walking out of school, and the students were seeing these agents tackle their teachers.” trib.al/Uub1cQD

Since things are already bad, maybe now is the time for net payer states (= blue states) to consider holding their residents’ federal income tax payments in escrow until ICE and DHS back the fuck down.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Your rights: To make decisions re: care & custody of child @ time of arrest; to be kept near your child & stay in touch while detained; to ask for help to make plans for your kids; to be part of their welfare court case while in detention; to decide if they will stay in US & make care arrangements.

Welp, according to this model, even if we manage to go #carbon-negative, centuries from now the Southern Ocean will burp its accumulated heat and warm the #atmosphere all over again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Exposure to individual climate solutions does not reduce support for systemic solutions: a cross-cultural study in Australia and Iran | Behavioural Public Policy | Cambridge Core Exposure to individual climate solutions does not reduce support for systemic solutions: a cross-cultural study in Australia and Iran

Here's the cited study FYI

Duh, it's not EITHER but BOTH re: systemic vs individual #climate action: "people more willing to engage in hi-impact climate action themselves, & who believed these actions to be more effective, showed more support for systemic solutions & a stronger perceived need for structural change."

Coal plants emitted more pollution during the last government shutdown, while regulators were furloughed As soon as the 2018-2019 shutdown began, coal-fired power plants started emitting more particulate matter pollution. And when the inspections resumed, the levels dropped back to normal.

Do you really need more evidence that government oversight is CRITICAL for protecting people? This example is from the 2018 shutdown, but I don't think coal plants have gotten more ethical since then.
