People are deliberately starting fires in the #AmazonRainforest to illegally deforest indigenous land for cattle ranching

Pataxó woman:
“These assholes came in and burned down [our reservation]... I want all of the media here to see this”
TRANSLATION:
For 2 years we’ve fought to preserve [our reservation] & these assholes came in & burned it down.

They are killing our rivers, our sources of life, & now they have set our reserve on fire. Tomorrow we are closing the roads & I want all the media here to see this.
🌎The #AmazonFires show there can be no #GreenNewDeal w/out indigenous rights

🌳By safeguarding sovereignty over ancestral lands-- which make up 1/4 of the earth's surface-- we can reverse deforestation

⚖️#GND is our best shot at stabilizing the climate & repairing injustice
The time for talk is over. We must #ActForTheAmazon.

On Sept 20 - hundreds of thousands of us will be taking to the streets, demanding our politicians take bold action on the climate crisis.

Join the global #ClimateStrike ⤵️

Let’s be clear: this bill isn’t the Green New Deal. It’s not even @POTUS’ Build Back Better. This is the Manchin Climate Plan.

And, with our democracy in decline, the strongest possible version of this bill must pass immediately. A 🧵 on why:
This bill could significantly reduce carbon emissions & open the door to more ambitious legislation. As of now, this bill includes:
-Commitment to 40% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030
-$60 billion for environmental justice program
-Billions of dollars for renewables
The far right is tearing apart our democracy and the future of US politics is grim. This could be our last chance to pass any federal climate policy for some time.

Every step we make towards decarbonizing our economy will save lives.

It's hard to put into words what it feels like to be a young person reading the news of today's SCOTUS decision. Our lives will be defined by a crisis that our government refuses to address.

But what does WV v. EPA mean and where do we go from here? 🧵
What did the Court decide today?

They sided with the fossil fuel industry to limit the EPA's ability to use the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gas emissions coming from power plants.

The EPA can still regulate emissions but its power is significantly reduced.
What does the WV vs EPA ruling mean for the climate?

It's a bad decision that will have serious consequences, but it's not the end. The @WhiteHouse and @TheDemocrats still have plenty of options to take action and fight for our generation

Decisions like WV vs. EPA make it clear just how much the system is rigged against us.

A Supreme Court that sides with the fossil fuel industry over the health and safety of its people is anti-life and illegitimate.
This is the result of an organized, decades-long effort by the right. The Supreme Court was bought and paid for by GOP extremists.
As we figure out what this means for us, Biden must expand the court and use all of his executive authority to justly transition our country to 100% renewable energy.

The Democratic establishment continues to outcast young, BIPOC, and working-class people.

@KinaCollinsIL deserves this seat.
Danny Davis won because once again the establishment fought for a Dem who's missed over 1,000 votes instead of fighting alongside young people.

We need new leadership and they are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening. And it will cost them.
@RepDannyDavis, you won this election, now it’s time to take responsibility for how you show up in Congress. Stop missing votes.

We made it clear the first time @POTUS, you’re going to hear our demands, whether we’re inside or outside of the White House. You haven’t responded.

The American Rescue Plan - passed by Congress and signed by @JoeBiden will bring badly needed relief to millions of families and begin the long road of recovery from the pandemic.

But both the process and the end product reveal a lot about the state of American governance.
1) The ARP is not enough to meet the scale of the pandemic after nearly a year of government inaction, and was weakened by misguided attempts at bipartisanship.

We need to see continued expansions of our social safety net and further policies that benefit workers.
2) The pandemic has only exacerbated existing cracks in our economy.

Hopefully, many of the anti-poverty programs will be made permanent, creating a more comprehensive social safety net that catches people and prevents them from falling into poverty or homelessness.
