The toxic fallout from wind turbine blades ‘should not be underestimated’ #MA #NY #RI #USA #VA: Recent research reveals that as blade coatings degrade, they leach thousands of tons of noxious metals into the water – and your seafood.

Rita, antifascist 🏴🦯🦯🦯

this was a truly exemplary piece. i couldn’t do it justice yet i’ll post snippets here

“A fascist society is one in which some people are deputized to do violence, and everyone else is forced to defend themselves. Those who have lived under an authoritarian regime know how it weakens collective self-defense…If we are to have any hope of surviving the coming dark age, we need mutual aid—not just to keep people housed and fed, but to keep them connected”

for example, Neighbor to Neighbor is running a statewide ICE watch hotline in #MA called LUCE. Donation link: lucemass.org/ LUCE’s rapid responders have 3 tasks: verify, document, witness. they weren’t able to witness the abduction of Rümeysa Öztürk, a Turkish Tufts University PhD student on a valid visa.

they scoured surveillance finding documentation of the kidnapping. “The video of the abduction obtained by LUCE proved invaluable…The coordinated response to Öztürk’s kidnapping exemplifies community self-defense and mutual aid at their best.” 3/3

Why I called Bob Herman a "master bluster-buster" a few weeks ago:

He doesn't mince words in reminding us where the money the government gives insurance companies comes from: Our pockets.

"Health insurers that sell Medicare Advantage plans are going to get billions more in taxpayer money next year."
