Help reunite kids and parents! https://www.dailykos.com/story/2018/6/16/1772462/-Do-good-and-smell-good-Help-reunite-kids-and-parents In an effort to justify the cruel, heartless separation of migrant children from their families, Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters that it is “very biblical to enforce the law”, and Attorney General Sessions invoked Romans 13 – the same Bible passage so often utilized in the past to justify slavery: “I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13, to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained the government for his purposes.” Boy howdy, you monstrous, merciless ghouls, does Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab have a Bible lesson for you. [Beth] has assembled a collection of simple, elegant scents, all of which have been inspired by timely, instructive passages in the Bible. Proceeds from the sales of these scents will benefit RAICES (Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services), a 501©(3) nonprofit that provides free and low-cost legal services to underserved immigrant children, families, and refugees in Central and South Texas. If you choose not to purchase any scents, please consider donating directly to RAICES if you have the means, or consider supporting one of these organizations: The Texas Civil Rights Project The Florence Project in Arizona Kids in Need of Defense The Young Center The American Civil Liberties Union Call your representatives now and tell them that you demand that the Trump Administration immediately cease this inhumane, horrific system of separating migrant children from their families. Ask your representatives to support the following pieces of legislation: S. 3036 – Keep Families Together Act R. 2572 – Protect Family Values at the Border Act R. 5950/S. 2937 – the HELP Separated Children Act R. 2043 AND S. 2468 – Fair Day in Court for Kids Act of 2018 Both the ACLU and 5Calls provide scripts that will help if you don’t want to call unprepared. Protest, call, Resistbot, fax, and show up at your representatives’ offices. Make your voice heard, take a stand against this cold-blooded and brutal policy, and VOTE. Vote these heartless monsters out on their asses. https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-category/activism/deliver-them-from-the-hands-of-the-wicked/ rss@dailykos.com (DeidreKim) Activism blackphoenisalchemylab bpal dogood perfumeoils smellgood _1772462 Sat, 16 Jun 2018 17:42:12 +0000 Arctic methane release could be apocalyptic https://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/3/23/1646608/-Arctic-methane-release-could-be-apocalyptic http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/39957-release-of-arctic-methane-may-be-apocalyptic-study-warns If something isn't done soon, I think it's more a matter of when, not if. rss@dailykos.com (DeidreKim) Alaska Arctic Canada Environment Methane Oceans Permafrost Siberia Tundra _1646608 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 22:23:39 +0000 You need to know about toxic Lake Okeechobee https://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/12/10/1609427/-You-need-to-know-about-toxic-Lake-Okeechobee One of Florida’s big concerns is Lake Okeechobee, the lake that should be sending water to the drying Everglades. Instead, it’s held poorly in place by dikes and canals, all of which need constant maintenance by the US Corp of Engineers and other groups. But now the lake has become very polluted by farms and development around Orlando. The polluted water that leaves the lake under controlled outflow has damaged the waters of the Treasure Coast and its tourist industry. And, BigAg, in the form of BigSugar, plays a role in this story with no easy fix.
