🤯🤯🤯 Full-on denial of reality.
State capture by the fossil fuel lobby.
The US descends into a banana republic. It would almost be funny if the consequences wouldn’t be so dire for billions of humans, if the courts don’t stop this folly soon.

One major rule anchored U.S. climate policy. The EPA just threw it out

The Trump administration rescinded the 2009 “endangerment finding,” ending regulation of greenhouse gases from cars and trucks

Wtf did they think was going to happen when they invited a war criminal who signed bombs destined to annihilate children…a member of a govt already dividing Australians.

It’s the govt people are protesting…not the people.

…and we should always be able to protest governments no matter which ones.

Palestine & climate are true litmus tests of democratic governance. Countries like Australia, UK, Germany & of course the US (remember the attacks on student camps at universities under Biden?) fail miserably. Drilled has a whole series on repression of climate protest drilled.media/investigatio...

ICE is currently holding around 80,000 detainees. Nazi Germany didn't reach this number in its formal camp system until 1942, nine years after seizing power and three years into the war.

"Social cohesion is a scam, a strategy employed by the powerful to delegitimise and suppress the voices of the less powerful... If you are othered by powerful groups, you become the victim of cohesion, not the beneficiary; what you get from social cohesion is a punch from an armed official."

Nothing says cohesion like a punch in the head: Violence of Minns' goons exposes the lie of 'social cohesion'

NSW Police's actions against protesters in in Sydney was about the powerful dictating the terms of free speech — through state-sanctioned violence if necessary.
