Seems like has been very little coverage of protests happening in the U.S.--not necessarily an intentional media blackout (although possibly), but the result of a longstanding stance in legacy media that protests aren't worth covering, activists aren't credible sources (but somehow CEOs are), etc.

The United States is a rogue state that’s now launched an imperialist trade war against Canada and Mexico.
It’s time for countries, especially its former allies, to form an alliance to make the US feel the consequences of its actions and to break their dependence on US tech once and for all.

The United States has gone rogue. There must be consequences.

The mystery of what motivates the far right becomes clearer if you consider that it isn't as much a positive vision or ideology but more about punishing who they hate: educated elites who have lectured them for their whole life about how stupid and worthless they are.
The dominant, perhaps only, mode of communication by Democratic Party leadership to truly anyone at all is condescension.
“We have to meet REAL Americans where they’re at: gun shows and tailgates” - these are the words of completely insular bloodsuckers whose strategy for political communication is to imagine the dumbest yokel they can, and then try to imagine how to talk down to that person

Now do a Venn diagram of high CO2 emmiters, the world's wealthiest 10% and the Democratic party base of the professional/managerial/media/capital class. The Dems are now the conservative party intent on protecting their assets and an institutional status quo that is catastrophic to the vast majority
You need to see shocking extent of carbon inequality around the world.
A remarkable study led by Jared Starr finds that super-rich US households emit *2000 TIMES* more CO2e than average low-income country households.
How the f*ck is that even possible? The disparity never ceases to enrage me.
