Everything that makes campaigning against fossil fuels difficult is 10x harder when it comes to opposing #LivestockFarming.
Yet, alongside fossil fuels, it's one of the two most destructive industries on Earth. We shouldn't shy away.

California is paying mega-dairies millions for methane & ignoring toxic ammonia emissions that come from cow 💩. We should be heading for a zero emissions future instead. Something stinks here & it isn’t just manure 🤧#FixTheLCFS @AirResources @CAGovernor

12 Ways you know there is no such thing as American democracy:
1) Unlimited dark money spending on candidates
2) Unlimited spending on advertising
3) Electoral college
4) Corporate media propaganda
5) Super delegates
6) Gerrymandering
7) Black box voting machines with secret code
8) Incredibly difficult for 3rd parties to even get on the ballot
9) Push polling
10) Limited polling place locations & times
11) If the American people want something that doesn't align with corporate interests, we have a close-to 0% chance of getting it through Congress
12) [Insert here other ways in which this "democracy" is rigged]
Now do you get it??

Regulatory fallacy: the belief that environmental laws ‘protect’ nature. In reality, they often just regulate the rate of destruction. @CELDF advocates for recognizing ecosystems’ rights, challenging laws that prioritize corporate interests over environmental health.

Property rights fallacy: Believing that property ownership grants absolute control over land and resources. CELDF highlights how this ignores community and ecological rights, advocating for a balanced approach that respects both individual and environmental needs #CommunityRights

Individuals make decisions that lead to devastating environmental harms (#Ecocide) that impact millions of us. A HUGE gap in international criminal law means no-one is held criminally accountable.
This has to change + @GretaThunberg agrees.

When you hear about #RightsofNature for the first time, you might wonder... Doesn’t this just add an additional layer of regulation? Doesn’t this mean that rocks must be given lawyers? 🪨🧑⚖️

In the year since the Inflation Reduction Act passed, "energy communities" that once hosted coal, oil or gas infrastructure -- which make up 18.6% of the U.S. population -- have received 36.8% of the country's clean energy investment: washingtonpost.com/climate-s… via @shannonosaka

Latest #IPCC #ClimateChange report shows that continued #greenhousegas emissions will lead to increasing #globalwarming.
Deep, rapid & sustained reductions in emissions would lead to a slowdown in global warming.

This fight is done when the oil stops flowing! DAPL continues to violate Indigenous Peoples’ rights and threatens the drinking water of over 10 million people.
