Did Potter win? https://youtu.be/1VIk4FIshp0 © Extinction Rebellion and Money Rebellion have descended on HSBC's AGM in Birmingham to call out the bank's shameful climate policies. HSBC has invested $144b in fossil fuels since the Paris Agreement in 2016 and has made huge profits from destroying the planet. Last December the bank promised to stop funding new fossil fuel projects. Good news? ~ The devil is in the details. HSBC pledged to stop investing in new oil and gas projects but it's continuing to pour billions into fossil fuel companies that are expanding fossil fuels. Meanwhile, its green bonds are being used to fund mines, oil rigs, pipelines, and deforestation. This is pure greenwash! We demand HSBC follow the example set by Danske Bank in Denmark and immediately stop offering refinancing and new long-term financing to oil and gas companies that continue to expand in fossil fuel in...

Ladies, I have always been on your side, voted for your causes, supported your rights, equal rights. However, more than ever, you must unite and fight against those who worship chauvinism. They believe MAGA means turning back the clock so civil rights will only be those rights granted during medieval times. There will always be handmaidens. You possess the power to choose not to be one of them.  Perhaps Republicans agree with your beliefs today. The problem is, will they agree with you tomorrow? If not, they have just screwed you. The handmaidens have won. There is no longer a choice. Your vote has been voided.  Republican activists in Texas, Nebraska, and Louisiana have a new way to turn the clock back to the 1950s -- and rob women of their autonomy. Republicans nationwide are now pushing to repeal no-fault divorce laws, which allow women to walk away from an unhappy marriage without having to prove abuse, infidelity, or other misconduct in court. The Texas GOP just added it ...

  “Hidden From History: The Canadian Holocaust Residential schools - Between 1820 and 1969, Government sponsored, United Catholic Church boarding schools, educated “savage" Indian and Eskimo children into Christianity. Ten months of the year Native children were taken away from their families and culture, severely punished if caught speaking their own indigenous language, never allowed to laugh, to read, to hug, or talk of their Native heritage, deeply scaring them for life. Now revealed, pedophilia rings, torture, sterilization, and experiments at the hands of the nuns and priests. Designed for genocide, the schools had a 50% death rate. Armed with bible verses, the church mass murdered Indians who refused to convert, and then stole their land. Over the years, millions died from the intentional spread of tuberculosis and smallpox.” Tell me again why I should convert to Christianity? Is there a difference between Nazis and Nuns? What did Hitler learn from the Catholic Church and N...

  (Copied and republished) Strength, courage, and resilience have always been a part of who we are as Native peoples. But many, many years ago, the Native way of life was disrupted and destroyed by European settlers. Native Americans were driven from their lands, forbidden to speak their languages or express their cultures. Diseases like smallpox and tuberculosis were introduced. In the Great Plains, herds of bison were hunted to near-extinction. Native men, women, and children were killed. Tribe was intentionally pitted against tribe, and the lack of Native unity made it easier for the settlers to take the lands. Then Native children were taken from their families and placed in far away boarding schools. In these schools, they faced abuse of every kind. They were taught the white man’s ways, they were taught to speak only English, and they were taught to stifle their Native culture. Worst of all, they were taught to be ashamed of being Native. What is historical trauma? According ...
