A dark day
Donald Trump has won the White House; Republicans retake the Senate, House still yet to be called.
The second resistance to Trump must start right now
Perry Bacon Jr., Washington Post: "Trump won the election. But that doesn’t mean his ideas are fair, moral, just or right. Americans who disagree with him should work as hard as possible to make sure his policies and views don’t become law. So we should resist — again. Journalists, activists, nonprofits, left-leaning officials and everyday Americans need to go back to their posture of 2017 to 2020, carefully tracking every action of the president and his administration and being ready to aggressively contest it. There should be deep analysis and debate about why Trump won and what liberals and Democrats should do to prevent such victories in the future. But the first and most pressing priority is to make sure that people under direct threat from Trump, such as immigrants who have lived for years in the United States and done nothing wrong, aren’t treated inhumanely. An aggressive, persistent opposition was vital to forcing Trump to back down at times during his first term, particularly when his administration was separating children from their families at the border. A movement with fascist elements will soon be in charge of the country. Be alarmed — and start acting accordingly."
Big Oil unleashes new DISASTER in Amazon rainforest
350.org: You probably won’t have heard about it, but there’s a disaster unfolding in the Amazon rainforest. The Northern Peruvian Pipeline just leaked 6,000 liters of oil into the Amazon, poisoning the ground and contaminating the lakes that indigenous communities use for food, water, and their livelihoods. To make matters worse, Big Oil’s new plans for new oil and gas development cover an estimated 250,000 square miles of undisturbed rainforest across the basin, an area that is home to more than 12 million people. Will you add your name to stand with climate activists fighting to protect the Amazon from Big Oil?
