- Reposted by 🚫NO🚫 to ACS (australia capture & storage😜)This is essential reading for all policy makers - and it’s exactly what many of us have been warning about for years. Our current economic model is simply incompatible with a safe & secure future. We can’t bail out the Earth like we did the banks

People forget that the "Democratic Party" isn't just the folks holding office, it's the people who elected them that are the party. The folks in Congress seem to have forgotten that.

- Reposted by 🚫NO🚫 to ACS (australia capture & storage😜)URGENT! We've negotiated that if ICE commits a crime, they should tell us afterwards if they have time to do so. This is how we win. If you're in a position to support, we need you now more than ever. Please consider chipping in today to restore dignity to our secret police activities.
