For the second year in a row, the wealth gains for the 100 richest Americans exceeded what ALL American households spent on groceries combined.

~$995B for billionaires vs ~$775B in total grocery spending.

We have an oligarchy and inequality problem masquerading as an affordability crisis.

Increasing temperatures from climate change have led to a 40% reduction in blue whale “songs” in just the past 6 years alone.

“It’s like trying to sing while you're starving,” said John Ryan, a biological oceanographer.

The world's oceans absorb more than 90% of the excess heat from climate change
Blue whales are going eerily silent—and scientists say it’s a warning sign

if every single service and transaction is monitored for its adherence to fundamentalist christian ethics, and every piece of media has to go through those services or transactions, you could very quickly find yourself in a world where no queer art or publication is possible to obtain or distribute
payment processor censorship is one reason we must resist the idea of a cashless all-digital society

AI quite literally follows the path of colonization, in that it is a primarily US-based endeavor that depends heavily on the exploitation of transnational workers. www.noemamag.com/the-exploite...
