I didn't think the gap between climate science/reality & what people heard through mainstream media (not counting The Guardian) could get *worse* – yet here we are.
We're in la-la-land pretending fossil-fueled business as usual & endless economic growth are somehow compatible with a livable planet.

Somehow, we have to make "leaders not in love with money but in love with justice" the reality... not as a rare exception (e.g., Mamdani), but as the rule.

For the zillionth time, Planet Earth yells at humanity,
"YOU ARE GOING THE WRONG WAY!
Stop burning oil/coal/gas for energy!
Cut your energy demands!
Stop destroying nature, your lifeline!"

The "he looks TERRIBLE" part is particularly absurd in Trump's response to Zohran Mamdani's fantastic victory.
The Big Cheeto wishes (or perhaps he actually believes) that by saying things, he can make them true.
Meanwhile, reality is clear about who is looking terrible... & it's def not Mandani.

‼️ "Analysis shows a government murdered 377,000 people during genocide so far – half of them kids."
When you take out the specifics like this, it's obviously horrific. A #warcrime. INDEFENSIBLE.
It's only when you add Israel killing Palestinians that the wretched world starts making excuses.

‼️"Troops shot & killed at least 20 hungry people & wounded hundreds of others while they waited for food at an aid site."
No country with human rights laws, no people with humanity should condone this, let alone *fund* it
except it's Israel killing Palestinians, so the wretched world turns away.

#Technofacism billionaires like #Palantir 's #Thiel are rapidly expanding their influence within the US & UK governments. These people are a wrecking ball to democracy, human rights, empathy, & life on Earth, but most of the public & media aren't paying attention.

I'm surprised anyone from other countries still comes here to the States for leisure trips. It hasn't been safe for a while. This man is lucky that he was deported instead of detained for an indefinite time period with no due process, like so many others.

There are risks, & then there is "sailing a boat to Gaza to break the Israeli blockade of aid to Palestinians" level of risk.
#GretaThunberg & the others on Madleen have been warned by Israel. They know Israel has bombed past attempts – yet they persist.
Support the #FreedomFlotilla. Support Gaza.

Many people already understand we are part of nature & the harm we do to nature, we do to ourselves. Many others will never get it – which explains a lot about why we are in so much trouble.

So much is a mess right now & the U.S. federal government is acting like the Sopranos. What a ray of light & inspiration that Boston has Mayor Michelle Wu @mayorwu.boston.gov advocating for #activetravel & safe cycling infrastructure.
Thank you, Mayor Wu!
