This is one of the most awful environmental disasters. Some of that footage is really valuable. I'm so sad that the residents have yet to receive justice, and they likely won't ever truly be made whole again.

With so much division at the federal level, it's "nice" to see governors reaching out to each other like this. Maybe if they learn anything from this exercise, it'll be reflected as more sound protections for their constituents in the form of bolstering pro-union, pro-solidarity grassroots movements.

I didn't realize before, but now I want this too! Fantastic idea.

An international Environmental Justice mandate would be simply incredible. I hope this idea catches on 💚

Good.

Surprisingly, what we have as a nation (imo some of the best ideas of our original constitution) were inspired by the politics of Indigenous Americans, in large part by the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. But the problem with that adaptation was that colonists adopted ideas in a piecemeal way without paying full respect to the broader meaning of those ideas (also in context to cultural and social norms, etc.). The US Constitution didn't pay much reverence to the collective social responsibility of being good stewards of the environment, and instead focused on the pursuit of individual liberties. This experiment has now, with its initial set of conditions taken with far less context than was needed, has evolved to what it currently is in a fraction of the time that Indigenous Americans had a relatively stable socioeconomic and political existence. We might all benefit from learning more about Indigenous democratic institutions, and I certainly wish I would have been exposed to this history sooner.

Same here! We are the same people as we were before the election, and our mutual aid networks will be that much more important now, so it's time to make a more robust connection with others. Thank you for focusing on what we can control and how we can shape the future to what we want it to be!

Solidary with the workers! No scabs allowed!

That's really interesting that they don't take political stances, yet why was it such a necessity for them to go out of their way and deliver their food to IOF troops and support their work? That must have been okayed by corporate because it was on a ton of media outlets. Seems pretty political to me.

Excellent rabbit hole of posts! Thank you, friend!

Lol "...they have to list their address as 'Low Earth Orbit'"

When you get around to HZD, the DLC Frozen Wilds and Horizon: Forbidden West are highly recommended. I'm halfway through the second and it's so amazing.
