The billions in profits raked in by Big Pharma would not be possible without taxpayer resources and government-funded innovation. HHS must step in to stop this profiteering now.

As the U.S. plans to relinquish its role as the predominant purchaser of the Covid-19 vaccine to the commercial sector, vaccine manufacturers Moderna and Pfizer have announced plans to hike the price of the vaccine by over 400 percent. The decision would increase the price from $26 to $110-130 per dose, despite it costing only $2.85 to produce.

Pfizer and Moderna made record-breaking profits from the Covid-19 vaccine, but taxpayers funded the development of the Covid-19 vaccines in 2020 through Operation Warp...

Paov,

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith met face-to-face for the first time yesterday. With all the recent coverage of Smith’s demand that Trudeau scrap the long-promised Just Transition Act, you would expect that crucial piece of legislation to dominate the headlines.

What is the media focusing on instead? An awkward handshake.1

That’s convenient for both Trudeau and Smith because it keeps the spotlight away from the fact that Canada is not prepared for the inevitable and accelerating transition to clean energy. Despite dire warnings from climate scientists, Alberta oil production reached a new record last year2 and the federal government is still wasting billions building new pipelines to help the fossil fuel industry keep expanding.

This is all happening as Big Oil reports another round of staggering profits and walks back their climate pledges3. Behind the scenes, they’re lobbying for billions in public subsidies for unproven carbon capture technologies.4

Paov, it’s time to remind the politicians responsible for Canada’s just transition plan that we expect bold action, not more giveaways for...

Our team has been covering the movement against Atlanta’s Cop City from the jump. While the major news outlets catch up, The Intercept is hard at work digging into who stands to gain from this monument to police brutality.

---

A coalition of racial justice advocates and environmental defenders is fighting to save over 300 acres of forest land outside of Atlanta from becoming a massive police training center, dubbed Cop City by opponents.

The movement has achieved remarkable success — delaying the development of Cop City and forcing concessions from Atlanta officials.

But law enforcement officials have also responded with brutal force, culminating in the killing of 26-year-old Manuel “Tortuguita” Terán by police last month. Only then did the mainstream national news start covering the fight over Cop City — after over a year of police-friendly coverage from the press in Atlanta.

When rivers fill with sediment, salmon can’t breathe and their eggs die. Coastal GasLink has botched their Skeena Valley pipeline project. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

When rivers fill with sediment, salmon can’t breathe and their eggs die.

Coastal GasLink is building a pipeline through one of the most important salmon watersheds in the world. It’s crossing hundreds of critical streams and rivers. And they are botching the job.

The basic responsibility of companies who are permitted to construct large projects in B.C. is to follow our rules. In this case, those rules protect values like fish and fish habitat, which British Columbians care a whole heck of a lot more about than foreign-owned oil and gas mega-projects.

Unfortunately, these are rules Coastal GasLink can’t seem to follow. And nobody is holding them to account. Not the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Not the B.C. ministry for Water, Land and Resource Stewardship. And not B.C.’s Oil and Gas Commission, which, in an Orwellian twist of bureaucracy, is in charge of environmental protection for this project.

Tell Minister Osborne to halt work on the Coastal GasLink project

PAOV — A group of Canadian-Iranian doctors are calling for the immediate release of a group of immunocompromised protestors who are imprisoned in Iran. The doctors say: “Immunocompromised individuals require constant care and should not be kept in crowded areas. These are the patients, who are greatly suffering from their illnesses and the conditions they are being held under.” Two immunocompromised protestors have been released so far but four remain in prison, including a cancer patient who has been deprived of some of the medication he requires. Will you join the doctors in this critical moment to demand their release? Add your signature now.
