Allegheny County Board of Health happening now. 16 speakers demanding a countywide ban on fracking. 16 additional written comments all demanding the same thing. It’s past time @HealthAllegheny takes action. People are getting sick and dying.

Since 1978, the world has observed the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People every November 29th. This year, as Palestinians in Gaza continue to endure 14 months of US-backed Israeli genocide, standing in international solidarity with Palestinians is more crucial than ever.

Sí, sí, sé que el reemplazo de Trump muy probablemente va a ser aún peor. Pero que este hombre hipócrita y convenenciero se largue cuanto antes.

.@SecBlinken I wanted you to see what your lies to Congress led to. Ignore it or hide it like you have been, but history won't forget what you did. You could have stopped the starvation by telling us the truth. You decided to lie about it.

HEADS UP: Today is the FIFTH STRAIGHT DAY that H2S (that rotten 🍳 odor) levels have exceeded the PA 24–hr avg standard. Another reason we need a fully funded air quality program. Make complaints to your county council rep today and every day.

Forcibly removing hundreds of thousands of people from Northern Gaza under threat of execution is textbook ethnic cleansing. There is no other way to describe it.

The way the Biden administration is forcibly starving Cubans, and now shutting off the power - creating major threats to human life - is a crime against humanity. There's no other way to describe it. The sanctions are abhorrent and unjustified and must be ended immediately.
