2019. Follow up on its way called Chop Chop, Let’s Eat the Rich.
Heroic figure in climate studies.
It's been quite something to see one of the world's leading climate scientists, James Hansen, being vilified the past years for presenting data showing the rapid acceleration of global and regional warming, associated with continued greenhouse gas emissions and rapid reduction of air pollution.

'in 2019, Carney described climate change as “the world’s greatest existential threat.”'

How can you know this and then approve more fossil fuel expansion?!?

What kinds of person does that?
Mark Carney’s climate inaction is at odds with his awareness of climate change’s existential threat
Climate action no longer seems to be a priority for Prime Minister Mark Carney, despite his previous activism. This is bad news for Canadians and the climate.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

Hillary & now Obama condemn mass starvation of Palestinians by Israel.

If opportunistic eels like Clinton/Obama are after nearly 2 yrs, finally saying it out loud the genocide has definitely entered a new phase.

Get ready for lots of toothless statements + performative BS from the “serious” crowd.

If the police arrest me for this, it's a direct attack on the expression of opinion: ie on free speech. But the Terrorism Act is so madly oppressive and loosely framed that I have no idea which side of it I'm on. And I suspect it's the same for them.

It’s not just corruption. Thiel hates democracy and hates regular people. He’s dangerous, even by billionaire standards (bc they’re all dangerous).
Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel spent $15 million helping JD Vance win a U.S. Senate seat.

That investment is clearly continuing to pay off.

Big money corrupts our politics and erodes our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to the top.
The Pentagon just announced a no-bid contract that will be awarded to Palantir for "the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the field of geospatial intelligence."

This means Palantir will have unprecedented access to maps, satellite imagery, GPS data, and more.
