Horrible fact of the day: Chevron just released a new boat fuel that WILL give you cancer.
Not "might", not "could", WILL. It has a cancer ratio of 1.3:1, as in, in a group of 10 people, 10 would contract CANCER.
(Edit: apparently some articles are now saying 1.4:1, and some are saying a little under that. Either way, the consensus seems to be anywhere between a 95-100+% of contracting cancer, with some expectations of this fuel not even needing a full lifetime of exposure for you to get Cancer.)
The EPA's safety limit is 1:1,000,000 as in 1 in a million people get cancer.
The EPA approved it anyways. I am not joking. The EPA approved a boat fuel that has a near 100% chance of giving someone cancer. It has such a good chance of giving someone cancer that if you DIDN'T get cancer YOU WOULD BE AN OUTLIER.
Fuck the oil industries.
Edit: If you find this (rightfully) horrifying, have you considered industrial sabotage? /hj
This isn't something we can vote away. This isn't something the rich are gonna apologize and make a 10 minute apology video for this. They don't care if you starve or wither in hospitals or get blown up in their wars.
If you don't know where to get started:
If you already know what to do, then it's time to do it. Participate in mutual aid, raise awareness in real life as well as online, participate in or train in self defense and emergency medical training classes.

Exxon just announced its highest profits in their 152-year history, raking in $19,660,000,000.
Exxon and Chevron's combined profits in the last quarter were the equivalent of $14 million per hour.
The GOP blames Biden for gas prices to hide the truth.

The Environmental Protection Agency approved a component of boat fuel made from discarded plastic that the agency’s own risk formula determined was so hazardous, everyone exposed to the substance continually over a lifetime would be expected to develop cancer.
Current and former EPA scientists said that threat level is unheard of. It is a million times higher than what the agency usually considers acceptable for new chemicals and six times worse than the risk of lung cancer from a lifetime of smoking.

Here is the updated BDS boycott list for Palestine.
You can boycott other companies if you want, but unfocused boycotts do not work. Focus on the companies on the list.

I absolutely depise the "humans are the disease human population dying out is good" rhetoric and I will block over it. Humans are not a disease. If you celebrate the population being hit with deaths you're celebrating eugenics - because the people who are killed during wars and by bioharzards and plagues and cancer giving chemicals aren't the rich who are getting their karma, the people who die are the disabled, the homeless, queer kids, people of color, poor people, every other group who is oppressed and struggling to not only access Healthcare but limit their exposure to harm.
Mass death isn't good. Stop blaming the general population rather than the bourgeoisie who are the ones committing mass ecocide.
