What was I saying...oh yes...

Global. Energy. Oligarchy.
Oil. Rare Earth Minerals. Control of everything.
This is a great party, eh? /s

Screenshot of an April 28, 2018 Twitter post that reads: As soon as the GOP anti-parks caucus & cronies got their boy Trump, they set fire to public lands, EPA, ESA, a host of wildlife protections, science, and American leadership on climate change—all obstacles to the building of a Global Energy Oligarchy in cooperation with NRA and Putin.

She shot her dog and thought it was something to crow about.
She doesn't have an ounce of integrity or decency or compassion in her body. Every one of these people are psychopathic.
The lies ooze from their faces...

Retired couple (teacher & union carpenter) on ACA premiums skyrocketing — from $443/month to $2,224/month: “It's like buying another house and trying to pay for two houses at the same time… without the subsidy we honestly don’t know what we’re gonna do.” #TrumpShutdown

These are not well people.
The line between fantasy and reality is very blurry for them.

Someone needs to tell Elon that the real 'mind virus' starts with greed and is accelerated by the number of billions one has between himself and reality.

They are building a new hi-tech command center for the techno-feudal state--to accommodate the billionaires overlords and nutbutts who have bought into their own made up fantasies of armageddon and their belief that they are the heirs to the ancient empires--they are planning for global power.

They've been playing video games. They understand all the twists and turns of post-apocalyptic worlds. They *totally* got this.

I was thinking more along the lines of
Last chance healthcare, before we give up coverage at the New Year!
•one already-scheduled check-up at the doctor
•one for the dentist
•Giant bag of rice
•Giant bag of beans
The big splurge? A gas mask. You never know when ICE will be coming down the chimney!

Wild horses & burros are federally protected--but it doesn't stop the brutality. Bureau of Land Management orchestrates horrific roundups--like ICE for horses--breaking up familial bands,often causing injury & death.They pay cattle ranchers to warehouse them in misery or auction them to anyone w/ $.

This land return and tule elk reintroduction is a significant milestone in California's relationship with the Tule River Indian Tribe.

We're taking critical steps to confront the historical wrongs committed by the state against the Native people of this land.

The fantasy is techno-corporate-commie-feudalism, but unlike the MAGA minions who destroy democracy for treats, We the People have not been sedated and we will always know the definition of freedom, and we are not about to surrender it to a bunch of goons who've recently crawled out of a basement.

There are sometimes very general polls on these topics.
Quite depressing.
Now, if they were used to inform and initiate some publicly available civic education programming, that would be rad.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Career prosecutors were put on leave, allegedly for stating the truth about J6. The Administration is working overtime to erase history. It’s incumbent upon all of us to document truth, preserve historical record, and stand firm against efforts to replace facts.

It is worth the watch--this is the history that people are trying to erase--ironically, while establishing the same kind of environment that created the history they want everyone to forget.

It is, but the bad is always there.
This Bill Moyers (RIP) doc is from 1976--focuses on the horrible racism from white ppl of Rosedale and the experience of a Black fam who moved there. Just 49 yrs ago.
Warning: includes footage of flagrant racism; use of the n-word.

"How is he going to treat those people still in mourning?"
With compassion...because they are his fellow New Yorkers?

"He just understand the New York culture...why people came here...'
Didn't he...come here?
