“It is increasingly indefensible for news coverage of climate change not to make it clear that this crisis is driven by very specific human activities – primarily burning fossil fuels. And in second place is food, agriculture, forestry.”

We often think of the courage of the Tank Man and how the long row of tanks stopped for him, but some of the graphic photos from Tiananmen Square show protesters who were run over by tanks and their mangled bodies and bicycles.

Watch this and wait for it:

Maybe it's called a corpse flower because that's a dead ballerina stuffed in a bucket.

Eugenics undergirds all of American society and it shouldn’t have taken all this for y’all to realize that ableism is applied not just to disabled people.

Ableism is what makes fascism work, not only do y’all not look in disabled people’s directions, but you will cheer

Happening now: it's 1°F outside in Chicago—a literal frozen hellscape.

Furious EPA workers with AFGE Local 704 are rallying against the Trump/Musk evisceration of the federal workforce targeting new hires. Recently fired employees include those responsible for monitoring air & water quality.

Note this is unfortunately routine practice already--its called the foster care system. We remove more children from their families than any country on earth and 90% of them are victims of poverty, not abuse or violence. What Kennedy is calling for is the expansion of a system that already exists.

Of the 50 hardest-hit schools on this list, 32% are in states that voted for Trump. Losses range from $36.2 to $129.7M—per school.

We can organize around that. Electeds, even Republicans, don’t want mass layoffs in their districts.

(NB: If you reply by celebrating people’s pain, I’ll block you.)

Translation: undergraduate students who had COVID have a high rate of cognitive dysfunction-up to 37%.
Blood flow is altered in the prefrontal cortex.
COVID is bad for your brain.
Don’t get covid.
Get vaccinated.
Wear an N95 respirator in indoor public spaces.
Advocate for clean air.

I'm saying Go Birds because there's a chance their victory riot turns into a general strike

More of this, America.

Hospitals that can afford Super Bowl ads shouldn’t be sending their patients to collections

A common theme of these Super Bowl ads has been “unity” and “easing divisions”, which I guess sounds nice and is what I suppose corporations are hoping for, but no. They’re attacking trans kids, demonizing immigrants, banning books, tearing up the constitution… it’s not time to “come together”

Time for every 40-something conservative commentator dude to out themselves as the biggest squares on the planet lmao

Sorry America but after Jan 31 no industrial size Kirkland Signature for you if the workers don't get their due

nominally “liberal” mainstream media is now running cover for an out and about fascist. these are dark times we are living in and we truly cannot rely on these fascist sympathizers anymore

people keep tagging me in fuck around and find out content like I haven’t been talking about how pandemics lead to fascism since 2020.

The “find out” portion isn’t just for everyone who doesn’t consider themself a liberal—it’s for them too.

Haven’t masked in 4 years? FAAFO.

Look, we tried to warn people. At this point, the only way out is through. Trump will precipitate a collapse and only then can we rebuild towards a better future. Our goal is to minimize the number of people we lose along the way. Build community, help others. Resilience is all we have.

#Trump: “What is this one?”

Aide: “Withdrawing from the World Health Organization” #ExecutiveOrder

Trump: “Oh. That’s a big one!”

As #H5N1 is on the precipice if not already circulating among citizens.
