Astroturfing?

A black and white photograph of Fred Hampton speaking into a microphone during a public event. Overlaid text reads: “Nothing is more important than stopping fascism, because fascism is gonna stop us all.” His name, Fred Hampton, appears beneath the quote.

Fred Hampton saw what unchecked power could do. He warned us anyway.

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

Freedom is a constant struggle.
Learn from her and join us to be the leaders we need! ✊🏼

Heat map of annual excess deaths per 100k people per year from illnesses rellated to fine particulates and ozone. The map is darkest (worst impacts) in Asia, North and Central Africa, and South and Central America.

Heat map of annual excess deaths per 100k people per year from illnesses rellated to fine particulates and ozone with the effects of fine particulates and ozone from fossil fuels removed. The map is much lighter almost everywhere, with the remaining dark regions centered in desert areas with lots of non-human-caused fine particulates in the air.

Fine-particulate and ozone air pollution from fossil fuels causes 4-6 million avoidable deaths per year: 7-10% of all deaths worldwide. At an ~$11 million statistical value of life, this is a 44-66 trillion $/yr (38-56% of ~117 T$/yr global GDP) cost that appears nowhere in fossil fuel economics.
