trying to write a very convincing and evidence-based speech against a natural gas pipeline and it's proving very difficult because i actually believe that every one of the motherfuckers responsible for funding this shit should be dragged from their homes and beheaded with a broadsword john brown style
"Resist Climate Destruction! Strikeforce Let Ya Guard Down"
Blockade Australia tag in the Newcastle Port train yard. BA is an anti-colonial, environmental group which uses direct action tactics, usually blockades involving tripods, lock-ons, ect to prevent the transport and export of coal & other resources from Australian ports.
Last year BA activists & supporters faced a wave of repression aimed at dismantling the group, coordinated by Police Strikeforce Guard.
Despite the heavy repression the group was still able to launch a coordinated series of actions in recent days, blocking various ports along the east coast of Australia.
The Labor controlled NSW gov has responded to the recent blockades by proposing a ban on environmental activist groups using Facebook and other platforms to publicize their actions.
the extirpation of wolves from the olympic peninsula is genuinely one of the most heartbreaking things i’ve learned about. a keystone species that lived alongside people on the land for thousands and thousands of years, wolves were hunted, trapped, and poisoned by white settlers until the last documented wolf on the peninsula was trapped in 1920. it took less than three decades for them to be wiped out. some believe that a small number of survivors may have held out beyond then, living in the wildest reaches of the interior mountains. i want so badly for there to have been wolves that survived, that never knew the bite of the trap or the agonizing terror of strychnine. what would that mean, for there to have been wolves that resisted extirpation in a government-funded genocide of their species? to have, for even a handful of secret years, run free beneath that clouded sky, unleashing howls that humans would never hear?
