Climate change is not only driving up ocean temperatures. It's also stripping the seas of #oxygen.

Our population has become so large that the Earth cannot cope. There are now more than 8,000,000,000 people on Earth

It took until the early 1800s for the world #population to reach one billion. Now we add a billion every 12-15 years

“Much of this case is rooted in the idea that if we punish people, they’ll choose not to be #homeless & nothing could be further from the truth”

This week, the #SupremeCourt could decide whether #homelessness is a #crime

Allowing the government to fine & imprison people for being #homeless will do nothing to solve the nation’s #homelessness crisis. And it’s astoundingly cruel—as Sotomayor said, these towns seem to want homeless people to just “kill themselves.”

a sweeping & uniquely American🇺🇸 legal doctrine: felony murder, which sends thousands of people to prison for life for murders they didn't commit

“It’s truly one of the cruellest ideas in the American legal system”

How Conservative Policies & Rhetoric Kill People

Study after study shows it: Right-wing #policies & #rhetoric lead to more #homicides & #suicides. Why don’t more people know this?

#PoliciesOfHate #Hate #Hatemongers https://newrepublic.com/article/180829/conservative-policies-rhetoric-kill-people

#Trump has spent most of his life being immune to consequences for his unethical & illegal acts, so it is a relief to see the American🇺🇸 legal system FINALLY treating him like the #career #criminal that he is

“When there is a realistic possibility of conscious experience in an animal, it is irresponsible to ignore that possibility in decisions affecting that animal. We should consider welfare risks and use the evidence to inform our responses to these risks.”
