One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

This is super true in #Alberta too.
One of the things that kills me about all this is that it’s just, like, maybe ten guys.

Did you know a former White House climate advisor flipped a GOP stronghold in Virginia by running entirely on putting a stop to more AI data centers?

For @heatmap.news I profiled John McAuliff and a campaign that will be a roadmap for all future anti-AI politicians moving forward.
This Virginia Election Was a Warning for Data Centers
John McAuliff ran his campaign almost entirely on data centers — and won.

They are at over 26k people in 24 hours who have answered they would support or participate in a general strike, and the word "none" in the word cloud answering "if you belong to a union, which one?" is now second only to the ATA. #alberta

It has been an hour since the survey was released. I can't stop watching but I have to get back to my tasks for the day. Zoomed in on the "are you a union member" word cloud. Appears many are not.

worth pointing out that this is more... way more... than climate orgs have been asked to meet with gov't.

It's a lopsided playing field with the destroyers getting the ear of gov't, and the protectors pushed off to the side.

Once you take the survey you can refresh the results page and watch the answers roll in

So far, they are adding 100 people who would support a general strike & about 75 who would actively partake about every 10 min #alberta

Wherein the National Post publishes such shit that they *even they* don't have anyone brave enough to put their names on it.
This story, which is full of misconceptions, leading accusations, and blatant lies, is simply signed "The National Post".
