Remember everyone, when a job is so low paid the government has to top it up via benefits, it's a direct subsidy from taxpayers to shareholders, and from the poor to the rich.

CNN had the best headline:

Rosalynn Carter, mental health activist, humanitarian and former first lady, dies at 96

Every other headline I've seen just mentioned her as a wife of a former president. She was far more than that.

Someone you know could be trans.

Belgium is showing the way on the #Gaza crisis.

✅ Condemned 7/10 killings by Palestinian armed groups;

✅ Questioned legality of some Israeli airstrikes;

✅ Condemned Israel's collective punishment of Palestinians & called for targeted sanctions on those responsible;

✅ Expressed support for the ICC’s role and its ongoing investigation on the situation in Palestine, which includes jurisdiction over the current hostilities between the Israeli government and Palestinian armed groups.

I'm a space exploration enthusiast and I can't get my head around people giving SpaceX a pass and calling Starship a "successful failure".

The Saturn V was designed with slide rules, took humans to the moon and exploded in flight zero times.

Elon is blowing up rockets for fun in the upper atmosphere while the planet just hit 2°C of warming for the first time since the industrial revolution. What the fuck are we doing?

If you're not worried about the accelerating trend in extreme climate events, it's because the media aren't reporting them.
October temperatures were off the charts bad.

"the only principle which has to be kept is that of non-violence"

If only the majority were willing and able to follow that principle. Or 🤔 perhaps the majority are, BUT, a minority make it very difficult to uphold our non-violent standards.

That 'minority' takes many forms. For example, some governments try to persuade the public that, generally, non-violent environmental activists are terrorists (a form of trying to gaslighting the public)

@zleap They're mostly old teaching videos - me talking over a slide and annotating on the screen. Nothing super exciting.

They evolved into summary videos with me talking over top of a graphic organizer, which work well, but are harder for people to follow with their own paper unless they have the same thing in front of them. Worked well for school, not so much for a general audience.

The US president’s support for Israel’s PM is damaging America’s reputation abroad, hurting his own chances of re-election and prolonging the suffering in Gaza

"Climate scientists are saying the disasters we're living through weren't supposed to happen for three more decades. For all the shaming and gaslighting, doomers were right the whole time. Even the most "alarmist" climate scientists were holding back."

2K kids have been killed in Gaza, where the civilian population is on the brink of starvation, and I'm hard-pressed to think of propaganda more insidious than claiming that calls for a ceasefire equate to support for Hamas. But it's widespread and I've encountered a number of people who actually believe that nonsense. #israel #gaza
