It doesn’t take much. Just love each other and our planet every day as you love yourself. A little more respect for all living creatures, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the soil that gives us the food we eat.

REPUBLICAN REP. MASSIE: “I vote with my party 91% of the time… But when they're protecting pedophiles, blowing our budget, starting wars overseas — I'm sorry, I can't go along with that.”

Hard to argue with this 👇🏻...
If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

There is a lot of truth to this statement...
The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

Megyn Kelly is a pig, just like the men she is defending.
We're in the "raping young teenage girls isn't pedophilia" part of the cope from MAGA.

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

I honestly don’t know what to say anymore. It is overwhelmingly clear at this point that the Republican Party has sold its soul to protect a child rapist, led by wealthy ghouls who will never have enough.
There is only one war, now and forever, and it is the class war. There must be consequences.

"In an internal memo from September, CEO Sam Altman said that OpenAI’s “audacious long-term goal is to build 250 gigawatts of capacity by 2033.” If Altman achieves this goal, OpenAI will need almost exactly as much electricity as India’s 1.5 billion people"

Autumn in the Greater Khingan Mountains is like China's version of Maine. Golden birch forests, azure skies, and a breathtaking tranquility. The difference is, it possesses an added touch of Eastern serenity and wildness. -Excerpt from Weibo

Fossil fuels are a sunset industry. Investing public money in Oil & Gas infrastructure — e.g., pipelines — is economic madness. Don’t let greenwashing by the fossil fuel cartel convince you otherwise. #FossilFuelPhaseout

Vote fixer Elon Musk's car business is getting crushed globally. I guess the smart people who buy EVs aren't fond of fascists. Tesla's market share in China was just 3.2% in Oct., ⬇️ from 8.7% a year ago. Germany EV sales ⬆️ 40%, but Tesla had a 50% decline.
