"What women have to stand on squarely [is] not their ability to see the world in the way men see it, but the importance and validity of their seeing it in some other way."

Mary Hunter Austin (September 9, 1868 – August 13, 1934) was a prolific novelist, poet, critic, and playwright, as well as an early feminist, conservationist, and defender of Native American and Spanish-American rights and culture.

This was just unnecessary & targeted #ecocide #LoggerThugs ripping their rage out, against us #environmentalists 😪 We spent 3 months, building a low impact nature trail so ppl could visit more ancient trees. After we got violently extracted - they laughed & partied - as they ripped apart the low impact nature trails we spent several months to create.

We do what #BCgovernment #BCNDP #NEWDEATHPARTY fully failed to do!

With my nonbinary Korean fellow activist friend, from Vancouver, at VGH. We met over 2 yrs ago on remote frontlines & were one of very few Asian activists with boots on the ground at protest camps in BC. They're an amazing human being. We worked on deescalation training, accessibility solutions & nonviolent defense tactics together.

Environmental Users Migrating Away from Elon Musk’s X Platform, Researchers Find

https://www.pomona.edu/news/2023/08/15-environmental-users-migrating-away-elon-musks-x-platform-researchers-find

Nearly 50% of #environmentalists #abandoned #Twitter following Musk's takeover. There has been a mass #exodus, a phenomenon that could have serious #implications for public communication surrounding topics like #biodiversity, #climate change, and natural #disaster #recovery.

From such baby steps is our progress made:

#NewEngland's largest energy utility, #Eversource, has parted ways with the #AmericanGasAssociation — a powerful industry group that environmentalists say has been instrumental in blocking efforts to address #climatechange around the country.

@wbinford Drive a bit further to #LosAlamos. Went to Los Alamos NM last December. It was very interesting. They are all #environmentalists now or at least they like to think that. #Environmentalism gets them the funding they need to maintain their #suburban lifestyle.

which will mean that forest dwelling people will no longer be consulted.

This Bill is extremely worrisome for the kind of
danger it brings to the Indian land and soil. Many #scientists, civil servants, #environmentalists, students and politicians have already sent the Government of India their objections and it is time we do too.

We need to stop this Bill now!

Why would Democrats vote against this?!! Just go to #OpenSecrets and find out who was lining their pockets!

Senate Rejects a Measure on Curbing #GlobalWarming

By David Stout, Oct. 30, 2003

"The 43 senators who voted today in favor of steps to curb emissions may have done so because they sense greater awareness among the electorate.

"Then, too, six Republicans voted in favor of the bill, even though the measure runs contrary to the approach of President Bush, who opposes mandatory curbs. The six were Senators Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island, Susan Collins and Olympia J. Snowe of Maine, Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, Richard G. Lugar of Indiana and John S. McCain of Arizona.

"Mr. McCain, who was a co-sponsor, with Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, Democrat of Connecticut, refused to concede defeat in the long run.

"Some foes of the bill said privately that it had less genuine support than the vote tally indicated. According to that theory, some senators who voted 'yes' did so to curry favor with #environmentalists, knowing all the while that the measure would not pass.

"Ten Democrats voted against the measure: Senators Max Baucus of Montana, Carl Levin of Michigan, Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia, Zell Miller of Georgia, Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor, both of Arkansas, Kent Conrad and Byron Dorgan, both of North Dakota, and John Breaux and Mary Landrieu, both of Louisiana."

Current ideological options aren’t good enough!

The #nazis are unproductive reactionaries retreating into hate and fear.

The #neoliberals are sitting on a pile of gold, fiddling while the world burns.

The #Communists (at least those who run countries) are just #authoritarians in Red, sitting next to the Neoliberals on the gold pile of oblivion.

The #environmentalists have the right idea but tend to under-value People in general and #democracy specifically.

The op-ed emphasizes the crucial role of #wildlife and #wildlands in sequestering #carbon and calls on #environmentalists to prioritize the #preservation of #ThreatenedSpecies. The op-ed also criticizes the rollback of environmental protections by #corporations and urges elected officials to take this issue seriously.

India's Bishnoi 'tree huggers' renew age-old conservation fight

Genuine question - why do the fantasies about "authoritarian efficiency" & "science-driven" #climate policies that I see so often about #China not apply to similarly authoritarian #Vietnam? I rarely seen praise for their #solar installations, despite being on par with their neighbor.

Instead, Vietnam is heavily criticized for silencing #environmentalists, while China, somehow, get a pass for doing the same.

This week, a historic case has landed in a #Montana courtroom. A group of young #environmentalists is suing the state, arguing that its embrace of #fossilfuels is destroying pristine #environments, upending cultural traditions and robbing young residents of a #healthyfuture.

"Two men employed by a third party contractor for the Forestry Corporation of New South Wales have pleaded not guilty to charges of assault against two environmentalists on the state's mid north coast. "
