This corrupted, neoliberal idea of government…
Swarming with lobbyists & drowning in corporate money.
Serving shareholder profit instead of people & planet.
It’s a cancer that belongs to the bin fire of history.
And more & more people are waking up to this.

The most extraordinary part is how successfully these exceptionally high polluters have managed to convince relatively low emitters that climate action is aimed at making them poorer. Especially when climate inaction really is making them poorer while not affecting the Musk’s, Gates’s etc at all.

It’s time for Speaker Johnson to cut the ridiculous excuses and do his job. Adelita Grijalva won an election more than 6 weeks ago, and she still hasn’t been sworn in to represent more than 800,000 Arizonans. Read her op-ed:
I was elected 6 weeks ago. Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me in.
Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me into office, an unprecedented and starkly undemocratic position that sets a very dangerous precedent.

Stop fucking asking these people anything. Nobody cares. This isn't a "they should suffer" "no one should suffer actually" thing. Just stop. Zip zip zip. Shutty shutty uppy uppy. I wish there was a wooden spoon long enough to rap the back of your hand when you reach for the ask-Trump-voter button
It’s the latest case of outrage from a growing number of disillusioned voters who now regret backing MAGA at last year’s polls.

remember when the Roko's Basilisk concept broke nerd-crank containment and someone effortlessly dismissed it as "imagining in the future there'll be a boot of such enormous size that you have to start licking it today"
is there a speculative concept that's less scary than the Technological singularity? tech is going to escape human control and everybody dies? that's fucking stupid.

Senator Schumer has failed to lead this party in one of its most critical moments, and Americans will pay the price. It’s time for him to step down from leadership and make way for a new generation willing to fight for the people instead of the powerful.
