Quit Amazon and all of their affiliates now! They have already started replacing workers with robots. Their goal is to replace half a million workers with robots. Their reason? Humans are inefficient and cutting into their bottom line. But they need humans to buy their products so stop buying them!

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!

A few years ago I started thinking of our rising collective consciousness as of a cognitive dissonance of an individual. We start to appreciate the fact that we awfully fucked everything up. Now there is that primal struggle between denial and will to fix it.
Have some food for the dissonance.

The Greens are not just SECOND in this poll.
They're now 3 points ahead of Labour - who are fourth.
Time for Labour to stand down to stop splitting the anti-Reform vote!

Remember the old rightwing argument that all we needed to do was put a price on climate emissions and let the market do its thing? Well the necessary step was for the Govt to put a price on emissions. The current far right NZ Govt just announced it will never put a price on emissions.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.
Why the delay?
Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.
