With no hospital in Fort Chipewyan those who are sick are treated elsewhere. Sick children are then no longer counted as Fort Chipewyan children. The gov't hides the truth to suit oil industry interests over people's health - a fundamental human right worldwide (WHO) #Cancer #Alberta #UCP #CdnPoli

There's only one perfect photo for this year's Earth Day, and it's this one that the Artemis II crew took. Happy Earth Day.

There really is no such thing as race. We all came from Africa. We are all of the same stardust. We are all going to live and die on the same planet, a Pale Blue Dot in the vastness of space. We have to work together.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

Got our solar panels installed this AM. They came at 8:30am and we're gone by 1:30pm. 13 panels and 10kwh battery.

We can't export to the grid yet (the network operator has been flooded with new requests) but we charged our car with the sun this afternoon. Great feeling, strongly recommend.

This is the reason the stock market is completely disconnected from the real economy.

Toyota's new luxury EV in China receives over 3,000 orders in 1 hour after launching for $22,000 The bZ7, Toyota’s new flagship EV in China, may be its most advanced vehicle yet. After launching for under $22,000,...

I want to swap out my old Corolla for an EV next year, but I have zero interest in spending $50k for one, which is the only price US carmakers are interested in.

If one of them rolled out a $22k EV it be the best-selling vehicle within a year. So why won't they? Big Oil, the Shithead in power.

'There Is Only One Majority in This Country, That's the Working Class,' Says Mamdani | Common Dreams "It's time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what it is that we're pursuing and not as part of the appendix."

Mamdani: Democratic socialism viable anywhere. “...this is a politics that can flourish anywhere, because there is only one majority in this country – that’s the working class, and it’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of [public policy]..." www.commondreams.org/news/mamdani...

Sigh.

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.

This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.

Never doubt your power to change the system.

This is very true! And as the research on the issue shows and as the Hungarian example confirms, and the Polish one before that, the key to large turnout is long-term, grass-roots organizational labor that helps people understand how their single vote is a dignified part of a larger transformation.

What do you call a system where CEOs make millions of dollars while laying off thousands of workers?

In France, legislation came into effect recently for all car parks that have over 80 spaces to be covered with solar panels. Estimated to add around 11GW of renewable energy capacity to the national grid. Why not do likewise in Scotland? Braehead, Silverburn, Glasgow Fort etc.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

Denmark didn’t “transition” its grid—it replaced it.

~15% → 92% renewable electricity in 25 years.

Wind did the heavy lifting. Solar is scaling. Interconnection balanced. Flexibility solved variability.

Wind built it. Solar is scaling. Fossil lost it.

This IS system replacement. ⚡#Bettrification

Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sánchez:

“The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.”

REMINDER:
This is not an ENERGY crisis but a FOSSIL FUEL dependency crisis.
Modern energy systems based on renewables are absolutely possible.
Don’t let oil execs and autocrats tell you otherwise.

Pentagon To Host Good Friday Service Just For Protestants, Not Catholics

NEW: The Pentagon today invited more than 3,500 employees to attend a Good Friday service at its in-house chapel.

Except it’s only for Protestants, not Catholics. www.huffpost.com/entry/news-l...

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the super-rich control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Textbook corporate greed.

Of course they did.
This is the pattern: support something when it’s convenient… abandon it when it becomes politically useful to oppose it.

I did not know there was a Federal minimum wage. Turns out employers who only pay the minimum, have to pay whichever rate is higher - in most provinces/territories now it's the federal wage that is higher. minwage-salairemin.service.canada.ca/en/general.h...

As B.C. commits to DST, experts say province didn't 'follow the science' Sleep experts say the smarter move — and the one supported by sleep science — would have been to stick with Standard Time rather than DST.

This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all
