I will court disaster and cancellation with the following opinion:

Buck Martinez's voice is incredibly grating for the past million years and I will be happy when he retires.

Attached: 1 image Spain’s parliament has officially enshrined its arms embargo on Israel into law — a landmark move amid global outrage over Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The new law bans arms sales, military technology, and aviation fuel linked to Israel’s war machine. It also prohibits advertising products from illegal Israeli settlements in Gaza and the West Bank. This marks the first binding arms embargo on Israel by a Western government — a sign that global pressure and people power are breaking through.

So “Plenary Authority” is what they're (Stephen Miller) is calling #theamericanfascist's 'right' to ignore precedents and laws and deploy the National Guard and threaten to incarcerate elected officials who might resist.

"Plenary authority, with its sweeping, unchecked assumption of power, has […]

@jfmezei it might be that Carney is playing 3D chess with toddlers, but that still doesn't change the fact his chess is leaving Canada woefully under prepared for the inevitable and quickly building clean energy economy.

Jfc. And as if on cue, I get a CBC alert saying Carney pitched f-ing Keystone XL to Trump.

I rest my case. 😡 🤦‍♂️

A pop up says “CBC News” Carney raised Keystone XL pipeline revival in meeting with Trump.

Solar and Wind is overtaking fossil fuel electricity. The clean energy transition is happening. It is accelerating. And Canada, with its daily drama of “pipeline politics” led by grifters and so-called “populists” is nowhere to be found. A non-player. An energy backwater. Irrelevant.

This goes for Canada as well.
Clinging stubbornly to the fossil resource economy is killing Canadian the future competitiveness of this country.

Attached: 1 image The good news is global. The bad news is domestic as the US is increasingly failing to keep up with the cheap energy transition. Committing to run an economy based on resource extraction is a proven way to get your ass kicked. We need to do better.

"Without new visions we don't know what to build, only what to knock down."

Don't tell me that fascism means it's not the time to talk about universal basic income and healthcare. We absolutely need a vision of what to fight for instead of just what we're fighting against. Paint the picture.

Carly Goodman @carlygoodman.bsky.social · 1d

Was rereading Robin Kelley this morning:

Trying to envision "somewhere in advance of nowhere,” as poet Jayne Cortez puts it, is an extremely difficult task, yet it is a matter of great urgency. Without new visions we don't know what to build, only what to knock down. We not only end up confused, rudderless, and cynical, but we forget that making a revolution is not a series of clever maneuvers and tactics but a process that can and must transform us.
