"We blocked the port in order to stop the use of fossil fuels that are killing innocent people," she said. "The real crimes continue inside the gate of the port. We are not going to sit and wait while the fossil fuel industry takes our dreams away from us." Asked if she's worried about the consequences of the trial, she replied: "I personally am more worried about the horrible harm the fossil fuel industry is doing to the world." "I'm not going to stop while they are threatening the planet."

Much of the oil and gas industry says that continued production is necessary in order to meet global energy demands. Cutting oil and gas production would be "dangerous and irresponsible", the head of energy company Shell told BBC News. The International Energy Agency has said that there can be no new investments in oil, gas and coal now if governments are serious about the climate crisis. UN chief António Guterres recently said investment in new oil and gas production was "economic and moral madness". This week the world experienced its hottest day on record on Tuesday, topping 17C for the first time.

Our world burns and people suffer so that oil companies can turn a profit. The few are making decisions that will have disasterous effects on the many in the not too distant future.

The antidote to infighting in my experience is organizing in ideologically diverse spaces. I've organized with liberals and all types of different leftists. It has left me with the perspective that all these people are good people that just want better for the world. It's hard to get angry at them once you know them. Per usual the solution is to touch grass.

The same people cheering this on (see Loomer) are the ones who told everyone they had the moral high ground by being against political violence when it happened to their boy. They don't mean what they say.

If I make one more comment, it'll be the farthest away from reddit I've ever been.

Insane. Supporters of Palestinians are always getting the hard treatment and condemnations meanwhile supporters of Israel and their occupation of Gaza are never treated the same.

On my duel booted system I still have windows. But I haven't had to use it in a couple weeks and at this point might just delete it and go fully into Linux only. Just a few windows only apps that are making me unsure. Might try windows vm.

This is what the meme is referring to I believe. Over a year ago this happened.

It shows how much people are fueled by culture war nonsense in rural Oregon. I lived in one of the counties that voted to join Idaho and I never heard a single reason from anybody that was reasonable. It was all based on far right talking points about transing the kids or taking the guns. Meanwhile stuff like minimum wage that would actually affect everyone was just ignored.

Also Mexicans drink around their kids during social events all the time. It's a joke in my family that the only reason adults put on parties for their kids is so they can drink with their friends.

Maybe because Biden is the current president whose administration is giving weapons to Israel and is a Zionist himself?
