Brazil is burning.
It is a climate emergency.
Climate chaos knows no borders.
Our chickens are coming home to roost.
We need a #GreenNewDeal starting yesterday.

Our antipathy for the Criminal Intelligence Agency is not new.
Nor are the CIA’s crimes against humanity.
Some of the Agency’s worst criminals now direct it under Trump, who is an open fascist.

Usually forgotten is the CIA’s role in enabling:
📌 the war on drugs
📌 mass incarceration
📌 militarized policing
