Hard to reconcile the ICE account being here.
People are banned for threats, but ICE can shoot completely innocent people dead, commit countless acts of violence, break the law, yet still be allowed here?
There's something fundamentally wrong with that.
It's not like there's shortage of evidence.

It's notable we no longer hear VCs and billionaires talking about universal basic income (UBI).
Or maybe I just tuned them out.
Communities should fight back and demand off-grid renewables for any new energy demands of AI, and yes: slow the whole thing down.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

Agreed. RGGI, for instanace, has led to the reduction of CO2 emissions at major industrial polluters like power plants in the participating states by 50% since 2009.
Proceeds from the permit auctions exceed $8 billion, reinvested in energy efficiency programs in those states.
It works quite well

Nothing in this David Victor essay indicates that there’s any danger in heating the planet over 2C. Instead, he says that slowing decarbonization is good. 🤔

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."
