Climate knowledge has been taken hostage to prevent climate action.
“It didn’t happen by accident. It’s the product of a deliberate and systematic assault on knowledge by some of the richest people on Earth. Preventing climate breakdown means protecting ourselves from the storm of lies.”

Since HOMELESSNESS is suddenly in the news in America in a shockingly monstrous way, here’s a reminder in thread form that there ARE actually solutions that work, and aren’t completely unhinged and sociopathic. Please check out and share.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
It costs a lot less to house people.

So the way to counter that is to mention, repeatedly, that Kirk was wanting the E files to be released. “Release them in his honour” is a good call.

A nation awash with guns comes to be ruled by them. Isn't that obvious to everyone except the NRA and the gun nuts for whom it speaks?
