The newly empowered fossil fascists are setting an example on #greenpeace and defenders of #standingrock, in order to deter climate activists and native communities from defending the land against #fossilfuels and extractivism.
None of this is normal. #farright Authoritarians worldwide are emboldening #oilandgas companies to act without any accountability, while #climatechange is already destroying communities.
Climate activists everywhere need to get their shit together and resist now.

Sheinbaum is Jewish, supports Palestinian self-determination, & unapologetically condemns Netanyahu's attacks on Gaza.

'Dark Elf' by Sungryun Park

The image depicts a fantasy character, likely an elf, standing against a plain gray background. The character is dressed in dark, layered armor with a high collar and intricate detailing, including straps and buckles. The armor appears to be made of leather or a similar material, with a mix of dark brown and black tones. The character's long, silver hair cascades down their back, and they have pointed ears, a common trait of elves in fantasy lore. They are holding a curved sword in their right hand, which is sheathed and extends downward. The character's stance is confident and poised, with a serious expression on their face. The overall color palette is dark and muted, with the character's pale skin and silver hair providing contrast.
