An authoritarian top down approach -- what could possibly go wrong?

England fans facing hugely inflated prices to get to New Jersey's MetLife Stadium for World Cup games The cost of getting the train from New York to the venue, where the Three Lions play Panama in their final group game, will be £111 - nearly 12 times the usual fare.

Dear fellow Brits, from this Brit-American:

Please don't come here. It's dangerous. You may be targeted, arrested and unlawfully detained - likely courtesy of ICE - without access to legal representation.

I've told my family to stay away.

Please boycott America. 🇬🇧💙

My favorite scene from the Bible

"It won't stop here" God I hope so

NASA’s Artemis II Reveals the Basin in Full

Gaia Music Collective
Big love to all the singers who came together to sing this song last month. You all poured so much emotion & intention into this music, and it was an honor to be in this song with you all.

Let's please not fall into campism. U.S regime bad ≠ Iranian regime good.

They're both dictatorships, and the only ones who deserve support are the people caught in the crossfires.

If corporations are legally persons why don’t they face the same kind of punishment when they commit crimes?

Climate Coverage Plunges, Though Crisis More Dire Than Ever The scientific consensus that we need to phase out fossil fuels fast has not changed, but coverage about climate change in US news outlets has plunged.

“The term ‘climate crisis,’ which carries with it a more urgent connotation than the more familiar ‘climate change,’ has nearly disappeared from media lexicon.”

I sure wish more people had this level of epistemic humility.

And humanity.

Seeing organisations as monolithic is a very common false belief.

I'm so sorry that this happened to you.

You deserved better.

"The BBC understands..."

I'll take that with a large pinch of salt then.

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

even the most tenacious autocrats have a difficult time denying a landslide result against them

This is so well done. 👌

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

Get organized for socialism like the survival of our species depends on it. Cause it does.

Donate to Help Yawanawa people in Aldeia 7 Estrelas protect the land., organized by Taylor Flook Ni Uiti, in Yawanawá language, means “heart of the forest”. A… Taylor Flook needs your support for Help Yawanawa people in Aldeia 7 Estrelas protect the land.

The Yawanawa people need help recovering from floods fuelled by the climate crisis! We'll be bringing them the money in April. If you donate any amount, I will personally translate, print out and read to them any words of solidarity and support you write ❤️

This is hilarious.

Also, completely enraging.

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly:

- Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat)
- Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex)
- Humming (stimulates vagus nerve)
- Exercise (anything helps, outside even better)
- Impeachment and removal

The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military.

The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they're standing up to him.

Words aren't enough - it's time for action.

The President of the United States is publicly threatening to commit genocide.

For love of country, for the freedoms we cherish and for the values we hold dear, the House must immediately reconvene and vote to impeach Donald Trump.

He is a miserable vampire sucking the life blood out of everything in sight. I try to ignore (super difficult but doable) it as much as possible (spheres of influence) because I can't change it. You deserve many moments of joy. Joy is resistance to this madness.

The rest of the world should probably collectively stand up to the U.S. right now, tbh

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists.

Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

There's a party that cares about people *and* about the planet.

And it can win in 30 days time.

This is your moment to join the Green Party.

Don't know about Viola Liuzzo?

Glad you asked.
