RFK said 125 *million* pounds, but Dr. Oz revised the figure to 135 *billion*.
Quick math lesson:
Total weight that Dr. Oz claims Americans will lose before the midterms: 135,000,000,000 lbs.
Total US Population in 2025: 343,603,404
So… The average American will lose… 392.89 lbs. Got it. 🤣

The complete and utter absence of anything even remotely like concern or compassion on the tyrant's face as he watches one of his lackeys suffering from a serious, possibly life-threatening medical incident. Textbook psychopath behavior.

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other.
It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.

Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Time to boycott Spotify, and make sure to let the podcasts using it know that you are.
"Sorry, but I can't watch/listen to you until you leave Spotify" should give them the message.

In March of 1945, the US Army issued this "fact sheet" to guide conversations with soldiers on the topic of fascism, paying particular attention to the ongoing threat that domestic fascist movements posed to the US. Their analysis of what a homegrown US fascism would look like is interesting.
![CRESTRICTED]
ORIENTATION
FACT SHEET
64
WAR DEPARTMENT-WASHINGTON 25, D. C. • 24 March 1945 FASCISM!
Note For This Week's Discussion:
Fascism is not the easiest thing to identify and analyze; nor, once in power, is it easy to destroy. It is important for our future and that of the world that as many of us as possible understand the causes and practices of fascism, in order to combat it. Points to stress are: (1) Fascism is more apt to come to power at a time of economic crisis;
(2) fascism inevitably leads to war; (3) it can come to any country; (4) we can best combat it by making our democracy work.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:miczfsfixolk42l7343z3bpd/bafkreigaks7wgy4rvmszhobeed7hlaqap4mynkhqketipzolmesislssci@jpeg)
