#NoDAPL As Long As Grass Grows: The Indigenous fight for environmental justice, from colonization to Standing Rock by Dina Gilio-Whitaker
Bulletin Science and Security Board member Jon B. Wolfsthal @jonatomic.bsky.social discusses the nuclear weapons issues that factored into the 2026 Doomsday Clock decision. ⬇️
Graph showing the number of deaths pending investigation from 2019 to 2024. In total, there were 3,244 deaths pending investigation as of January 2026 – without counting 2025. 2023 and 2024 contained the highest numbers at around 1,200 each.
Cause of death statistics are now missing 2024, which were available in the dashboard until recently.
The Alberta government has removed Cause of Death statistics for the entire year 2024 from its dashboard.
Fortunately, I reported on this in January, before the data were removed: drugdatadecoded.ca/up-to-89-per...
The government hadn't yet reported 2025. The latest year available is now 2023. 1/
Total fatalities pending investigation by Alberta's medical examiner are at 3,244, with most remaining from 2022, 2023 and 2024.
Without even counting 2025, there were 3,244 deaths still pending investigation by the provincial Medical Examiner as of late January.
Some of these deaths dated back to 2020 and 2021. That's thousands of families that have waited up to six years to know how their loved ones died. 3/
What does a nuclear disaster look like 15 years later?
Thomas A. Bass reports for the Bulletin in a new piece supported by @pulitzercenter.org.
Just debating Alberta separatism is causing economic damage to our province and to Canada.
This reckless harm is irreversible.

Trump: "You daughter, she has to be of age. Like above 6 years old."
If your International Women’s Day post didn’t included money to Brown and Black women for unpaid labour you directly benefited from, you’re nothing but performative. How many unpaid speaking engagements I’ve done and no advocacy for the 231 Calls to Justice? You didn’t “hear” this Dene woman.
Just wanted to remind folkx celebrating Intl women’s day, I posted earlier how much money it’s costing to allow DV to continue, no meaningful action by women’s or Queer groups on 231 Calls to Justice, Rachel Gilmore had 2 not-sees intimidate her at a bar, Indigenous journalist Brandy Morin…
Yesterday, Renee’s son, Chris (who many knew as Arrow C), passed away suddenly in Calgary. He was a beloved son, a wonderful performer, and this loss was completely unexpected. We’re raising funds to help Renee travel from Winnipeg to Calgary and to give Chris a memorial.
