The whole war on “woke” and “cancel culture” was contrived to protect the worst people in our society and make it possible for them to keep doing despicable things to other people.

Paid lobbyist in position of power wants to privatise the NHS and make millions of dollars while the British public suffer. Nothing to do with the #BMA - that's just the excuse. This is the wicked greedy corruption we face every time from the rich and powerful when they get any leverage in politics

The explosion in CEO pay relative to the pay of workers isn’t because CEOs have become so much more valuable than before.
They've just gamed the system to line their pockets.
Is it any wonder why so many working people feel the game is rigged against them? (It is.)

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.
The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

Great, renewables have almost caught up with coal. So why isn’t coal use dropping?
Because capitalism just ramps up production to consume ALL available energy, so we get renewables added to coal when they could be replacing it.
We’re doomed until we build a system around NEED instead of growth.
