Here's an infuriating fact: Elon Musk’s fortune could pay the average salary for every public school teacher in the US for three years.
Take a look at these charts that tell the story of oligarchy in overdrive.
How to stop fascism and the far right.
In a nutshell: offer voters a non-establishment eco-left alternative that *genuinely* stands for people and planet.
It's not complicated.
🇵🇸 Events in solidarity with the Palestinian people around the country this weekend. All out for Palestine! #SolidarityIsAVerb #FreePalestine 🇵🇸
Austria has banned U.S. military aircraft involved in the Middle East war from using its airspace, the Defense Ministry told POLITICO, citing the country’s neutrality law.

Let's focus on something we ALL agree on:
#ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
Every time I hear men talk about destroying this planet so they can travel to a dead one, I think about how miraculous the existence of Earth is, and how capitalists should never be permitted to make decisions about space exploration.
Exactly the same story in Ireland, with our Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), whether at sea or on land, no less trashed than anywhere else.
The word 'conservation' is meaningless, and an abuse of language.
Regardless of the issue, it's always the same story: commercial interests allowed to ride roughshod over everything and everyone else. Faced with the urgent need for action, successive governments twiddle their thumbs.

Israel is an apartheid state.
That apartheid now officially includes the death penalty.
Israel has long engaged in mass extrajudicial executions of Palestinians.
It's now official state policy.
For Palestinians, Zionism isn't just an ideology - it's a lived reality.
It's meant ethnic cleansing, colonisation, slaughter - and genocide.
As Alaa Radwan says, she distinguishes between Zionism and Jewish people.
Tone policing victims of genocide is disgusting.
Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention.
“It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love … and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border. Mr. Rogers was very political.”
In 1988, the US Navy shot down Iran Air Flight 655, a civilian passenger plane, killing 290 people including 66 children.
No one was held accountable.
That impunity didn’t end. It set a precedent.
@premthakker.bsky.social breaks down the attack you’ve probably never heard about
UK newspapers;
"IRANIAN TERROR IN OUR STREETS!!!!!!"
Jesus f**king wept, please at least try and be convincing
A group of 220 economists & legal scholars are calling on President Gustavo to use the 1st International Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels in Santa Marta next month to initiate a globally coordinated withdrawal from Investor-State Dispute Settlement #ISDS

Thank you for having me @aljazeera.com, to talk about the second fossil fuel crisis of the 2020s and how it's remarkable that governments are unprepared for a collapse in the fossil fuel supply chain
Also a bit on how unconscionable it is for Trump to threaten power plant destruction
The US faces catastrophic strategic defeat in the Iran war.
"What now?"
For certain: Prepare for 11 hotter, more chaotic years
Ideally: Stop the pollution making it hotter
If there's any justice: Make the biggest polluters pay for the transition and damage
For fun: Jail Big Oil executives for fraud and homicide
Solar panels aren’t being held up in the Strait of Hormuz.
A point worth making
Everything we need to do to stop climate breakdown, we also need to do for national security. Energy saving, more renewables, more electricity storage and interconnectors, electrification of transport, heating, cooking and industrial processes, plant-based diets. We win on all fronts.
"SHRINKING HARVESTS": Arizona produces 25% of the entire US lettuce supply and about 90% of its leafy greens & winter vegetables — but hotter summers & dwindling water threaten crops. Each degree of warming reduces crop harvests 10%. Will policy makers act?

This is utter garbage. I believe in net zero. We need to get there. But renewables are not competitive. That's why they are subsidised. Fossil fuel markets are highly competitive. It shouldn't be hard to hold these two thoughts at the same time.
You might have formed the impression that Paul Johnson, former director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, knows what he's talking about. The media treats him like the voice of God. But here he is - and not for the first time - talking out of his hat. Let's break it down in a short thread. 🧵
Poster; "You are not a capitalist, you are an exploited worker with stockholm syndrome"
Do you have enough cash that you *and your wider family* can live for the rest of their lives without ever working, instead 'earning' a living by just moving money around and living off the interest?
No? Then you are not a member of the capitalist class.
"The report found a 'consistent and coordinated narrative shift' from attempts to portray the companies as climate leaders to embracing... the idea that the world can’t function without oil and gas..."
...which is [checks notes] a BIG FAT LIE because [checks notes] THE SUN EXISTS.
A dead Ash tree across from my house has pigeons, starlings and blackbirds nesting in it. There's little else for them to shelter in after the hedge strimmers cut everything numerous times a year. Full out war on nature in the midlands here. Hardly a tree left standing for nesting birds. Decimated.
Your 'doom quote' for today:
"If we were coal miners we’d be up to our waists in dead canaries."

Red and blue cheeks of the same arse has to be replaced and try actual democracy?The least the American people deserve after this version of cannibalistic imperialism fully collapses.
Donation limits of €2.500 and PRSTV system means we get exactly who we vote for in Ireland. Worth a try in the US.
