Every brownstone in NYC is in a constant state of repair. Go anywhere in the Upper West Side, and there is work being done on “crumbling” brownstones. Lol. This is a historically significant piece of architecture they are getting paid $30M to tear down. All of the same outreach and community service can and is being done there already. Don’t need to tear it down to do that. It’s the money they want, and they can get it without tearing it down.
"'We have to be much more aggressive in regard to fossil fuel expansions,' Tlaib, a Detroit Democrat, told the online gathering. 'If we don't get the policies we need, if our legislative process is failing us, then direct action gets the goods.'"
“‘When we think of Custer’s Last Stand or the Battle of Little Bighorn…we should think of it as a successful defense by Native people against an attempted act of genocide,’ says Lindsay Stallones Marshall, assistant professor of history at Illinois State University…”
“He prolonged & expanded the Vietnam War with the bombing of Cambodia and Laos, killing hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of innocent people. He helped empower genocidal militaries in Pakistan & Indonesia. He enabled juntas that overthrew democracies in Chile & Argentina. He’s often called a war criminal…”
Sending my bro #ChrisEvans some birthday love today. We haven't laughed that hard in a while! Miss you, pal.
Thank you to everyone who came out and supported our rally on Saturday with The Center at West Park to save the West Park Presbyterian Church. This landmark is an epicenter for the arts and worship, and we all want it to remain here for future generations. There's still time to tell NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission that you oppose the demolition before the public hearing tomorrow by visiting the link below.

"Ruffalo touted Hirshman’s past fundraising record. As director of the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan, she raised $95 million 'for a building that didn’t even exist,' he said. Thus, 'imagine what she could do with this place, with this history,' Ruffalo said. 'She has the persistence to make this place as valuable to the Upper West Side as the Public Theater is to downtown.'" #SaveWestPark #WestParkPresbyterian

In honor of my dear friend Josh Hamilton's birthday, I thought I'd dig in the archives and share some photos from our youth to now. Love you brother. 🥳📸
“‘The IHRA working definition is a culmination of lobbying efforts to instrumentalize and accelerate the use of false accusations in order to censor protected speech, to target any sort of viewpoint that is critical of Israel, and to chill one side of an important political debate by saying that anyone who supports Palestinian rights is antisemitic,’ Assi told The Intercept. ‘It has always been used as a propaganda…’”
Extreme drought, rainless thunderstorms = wildfires x climate change. We are in the middle of it, and it affects people thousands of miles away. Let’s pretend climate change is the Russian Invasion and treat it with the same amount of money and urgency. RBC stop funding this s$@&!

“There exists a strong link between the frequency and intensity of heat domes and human-caused climate change. A number of high-end heat domes have already fostered wildfire outbreaks across Canada this year, and more appear to be in the offing.”

If you think antisemitism and racism in the USA aren’t linked and working hand-in-hand, you are mistaken. It’s time to unite all forces against the evil of these ideologies.

"The report found that about 93% of the carbon offsets that Chevron is investing in – mostly forests, plantations or large dams – are worthless, meaning they don’t lead to greenhouse gas reductions, they exaggerate any benefits or they risk actually emitting emissions. 'They just don't stand up,' said Nina Lakhani..."
There is nothing more healing and transformational than storytelling. It is the purest expression of our common humanity.
"'We’re saying, ‘Stop!’ Your gigantic highway project is disrupting the peace of untold numbers of ancestors in a place that had gone undisturbed for thousands of years,' said Sean Scruggs, tribal historic officer for the Fort Independence Indian Community of Paiute Indians."
