I think one of the most important things to understand about Cop City is that it is not just about Atlanta. If constructed, it will be a training ground for cops from all over the US and internationally. They are preparing for massive suppression of dissent as the world burns. 🧵 Those who are trying to stop Cop City are working to build a world of care and solidarity, while cops and their corporate backers are trying to build a world that kills or cages anyone who stands in the way of private profit. news.littlesis.org/2022/11/15/mee…

THREAD: On the 75th anniversary of the first nuclear weapon test, conducted by the US govt in New Mexico on 16 July 1945, the UN Special Rapporteur on toxics urges us not to forget the discriminatory legacy of nuclear testing: bit.ly/2DGuzbs #nuclearban #NeverAgain Trinity nuclear test. "From the detonation of hundreds of nuclear bombs over communities in the Pacific to the disposal of hazardous radioactive waste on lands & territories of indigenous peoples, the legacy of nuclear testing is one of the cruellest examples of environmental injustice." #nuclearban
