The usurpation of nature destroys our soul.
Fortunately, the future of statues is oblivion.
Connecting insights. Courage in despair.

Never forget the underlying contempt for women and people who are vulnerable, unlucky or deemed unproductive.

We've seen that before.

Great work by Greg Sargent. We are, right now, deciding whether we want to be a land of giant concentration camps and ethnic cleanings.

Don’t buy into Trump’s fake populism for a second.

I keep thinking back to when I interviewed a co-creator of Captain Planet who likened Trump to all the eco-villains. (Remember how that show warned about pollution, but also the ills of hatred and destruction.)
Bezos, Musk, Thiel, Zuckerberg, Ellison and a few others are like straight out of comic book villainy. These people make Lex Luthor and Dr Doom look sane. We should be talking about them the way they demonize immigrants, women and the poor. Be bigoted towards evil billionaires.

Jeff Bezos took over the Washington Post Editorial Board and turned it into a mouthpiece for pro-corporate, pro-billionaire propaganda.

Now, WaPo is laying off hundreds of *real* journalists — including the reporter covering Amazon.

Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

My (young) child now sees iconic pieces of cinematography or photography and dismisses them knowingly as "AI" because the model has been trained on these iconic images and he now doubts their veracity in advance.

We knew fossil fuel companies were shameless in their reckless disregard for life on this planet.

But when they're shameless enough to sponsor the very events their products will destroy, something has to change.

Everybody has it backwards.

Billionaires aren’t buying up these institutions to make money. They’re buying them to kill them. Same as the oligarchs destroying government and social programs and things like weather forecasting and regulatory bodies.

They’re creating a world they control completely

The Trump regime is plotting to convert commercial warehouses to massive ICE detention centers.

Private prison corporations, who just so happened to donate to Trump, are already raking in billions.

How many more private companies are going to cash in on this cruelty?
