One of the Watch Duty volunteers shared photos of US Coast Guard rescues for flooding in the Pacific Northwest (asking him to share those photos) (!) #flooding#PacNW#ORwx#WAwx
"workers confirmed the ship will head to Tacoma, Washington where it's expected to load up with military supplies before heading to Israel.
"We're hoping that when it reaches Tacoma, the workers in Tacoma will not load that military cargo, that people of Tacoma will show up to protest this genocide & that workers around the world will continue to stop ships...We are simply trying to call for an immediate cease-fire & stop the aiding of the genocide of my people"
They are specifically calling for an immediate #CeaseFire.
If you are in #CA, #WA or #OR (or really anywhere on the West Coast) would be helpful to call your Representatives & Senators & tell them to call for an immediate Cease Fire (link in next toot), & to back unions, not to crack down on union workers. Also discuss this with any longshore workers you know.
Never been to #BurningMan, never been sad about it.
Let's just say: no artist could create an installation that more effectively destroys the internal logic of the whole fucking thing, than driving hundreds of miles to bulldoze a climate protest so you can party in the middle of the desert, in the same summer where hundreds were murdered & poisoned by smoke in #Lahaina & #Yellowknife & across the #PacNW.
