Kamala is all out of f*cks and I’m here for it πŸ”₯

We see you, @codepink.bsky.social

Your paid performative agitators pop up on her book tour like they think we don’t know the VP’s job.

The VP doesn’t set Middle East policy, the President does. The VP’s role is to support the President, period.

Not-so-gentle reminder that one senator can use his privilege to pretty much grind the senate to a halt.

Scientists just confirmed the largest bird-killing event in modern history A marine heat wave in the Pacific Ocean killed some 4 million common murres in Alaska, researchers say β€” the largest die-off of any bird species ever recorded in the modern era.

Horrific..."the waters of the northern Pacific Ocean where these sleek seabirds spend much of their time were unusually warm, the start of what would become the largest marine heat wave on record. The murres that made landfall were emaciated, showing they had starved to death." 😱

How krill fishing threatens whale recovery in Antarctica Populations of the tiny crustacean - a key food source for whales and dolphins - have declined by 80% since 1970 due mainly to demand for omega-3 health supplements

πŸ›‘ Stop buying "Pure Antarctic Krill Omega-3" supplements!

"We’re not talking about food security here or any kind of necessity. This is fishing for profit." β€” Peter Hammarstedt, Sea Shepherd Global.

The Crimes Behind the Seafood You Eat China has invested heavily in an armada of far-flung fishing vessels, in part to extend its global influence. This maritime expansion has come at grave human cost.

A horrific, if not entirely surprising piece by Ian Urbina on human rights abuses on the Chinese deep sea fishing fleet.

It is too easy to ignore what happens at sea, and Urbina’s work is so important in aging a light in it.

"The Ocean is Calling" Tee

"The Ocean is Calling" Tee

Instead of yet another #BlackFriday "bargain", Sea Shepherd is asking you to spend #ForTheOcean by DOUBLING the price for this limited-edition, sustainably produced tee "not for profit, but because real change takes investment." ✊

Too right it's Black Friday: our relentless consumption is trashing the planet | Black Friday | The Guardian Growth must go on – and it’s destroying the Earth. But there’s no way of greening it. So we need a new system, writes Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Nature is our life support system. Perhaps we can remember & recognise this by switching off the horrid machine that is Black Friday.

This article by @georgemonbiot.bsky.social is still brilliant & so relevant.
