Well, COP30 happened and is a failure. Final statement did not even mention fossil fuels. Hundreds of thousands of people will die because of global warming (heatstroke, disasters, etc.) before the next meet. COP30 was swarmed with lobbyists for fossil fuel corporations and governments.

Please, someone, investigate the subsidies and sweetheart deals that the US government gives out. Most of our taxpayer money flows to shadowy areas--defense procurement, subsidies to fossil fuels, subsidies and sweetheart deals to big hi-tech, etc. The social programs are tiny by comparison.

Sad item on NPR today: the public radio in Bethel, AK, is on the verge of closing, leaving the whole region with no weather news, no search-and-rescue news, no health news, no Yupik language news, nothing. Lots of people will die because of this. I wish somebody would ADD UP THE DEATHS Trump causes.

Now the CDC website repeats RFK Jr's autism-vaccine link, long disproved and shown to be a hoax. This will probably lead to a lot of deaths from easily preventable disease. We must stop focusing only on Epstein (not that that case is unimportant) and start focusing more on human lives.

They outnumber public interest advocates more than 20 to 1.

I wonder what the MAGA people think of Trump allying the US with Saudi Arabia--Muslims and the architects of 9-11. Somebody should ask.

More inequality means more psychopaths and achievement-maddened people going for the top, and thus more cruelty to everyone else. There ARE some good rich people out there, but they are losing out to the nut cases. Then we get less security, more fear, and thus more hate.

The act of immediately cutting funding to USAID is a form of genocide. It targets not a single people, but entire regions of “others”. It’s racism and xenophobia at its most callous.

If I'm doing the math correctly, Musk's big pay packet yesterday could have made each of these now-dead people millionaires instead.
He is among the sickest men the world has ever produced.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

This is what oligarchy looks like:
If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break.
If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry.
Obscene.

There is a term for national buying into major corporations: National socialism. Nazism for short. Hitler developed it and Trump is copying it openly and faithfully. It has the worst features of both socialism and communism and the good of neither.

So we have the delightful spectacle of Mamdani being both a jihadi (because his ancestors were Muslim) and a communist (because he is liberal). The militant atheism of communists is not a concept any more. Meanwhile, "capitalism" is stretched to include Trump's US buying into major corporations.

More and more fascinating is the total misuse of political words. "Socialism" now means everything from mail service and public roads (both done by every government in the history of the world) to Stalin. "Communism" means "anything MAGA doesn't like." "Jihadi" means anyone with any Muslim heritage.

More worries: with Teen Vogue joining WaPo in caving in, the liberal press is about silenced nationally. Meanwhile the billionaires are all slowly falling in line behind fascism. This has gotten scary. We need to reach out to the rich and tell them hard truths about economics and fascist regimes.

They “didn’t know they had the legal authority” to use the SNAP emergency funds and it may take until Wednesday to figure out the process. They tore down the East Wing overnight and will send their goon squads into cities and put people in camps with no problem…. but feed people? Don't be fooled.

Here are my three truths about climate:
1. We fail if we don’t end free-to-pollute fossil fuel model. Period. Game over.
2. A crash looms, prefigured by collapse in home insurance/mortgage markets.
3. There are true villains in the story, and we have to tell it that way.
