This photo is absolutely going to replace the image of my children as my background photo on my laptop.
What a gem! This says so much about the state of politics today.

I’m currently on a road trip in the USA. Going from Kentucky to Wyoming and back.
It’s been a long time since I did a long road trip in my home country. It’s not changed a bit. It’s just as confusing as it’s ever been. 🤷🏽♂️

Happy 4th of July. Here's some Jefferson:
In a letter to George Logan in 1816, Jefferson wrote:
"I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country."

Today I debated with an anti-socialist about the merits of socialism. And with an anti-capitalist about the merits of capitalism.
The former thought the US had no health issues. The latter muted me and said my questions were asinine.
Is this what debate has come to? Believe my story or else? 🤷🏽♂️

And this, everyone, is how scared the ruling class are of anyone who challenges them.
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social doesn’t say the “right” things. Pardon the pun.
Ackman and his lot are babies! Afraid of a fair fight. And afraid of anyone who challenges the status quo.

Great quote from Sheldon S. Wolin.
I would say that the recent win by Mamdani fits within Wolin’s framework for Fugitive Democracy.
This is why the Republicans are freaking out. This rarely happens in America these days.

And that drilled baby drilled, long before DJT gave the mandate.
The Dems are broken. Mamdani is not like Biden/Harris. He actually understands socialism and openly challenges capitalism. Who knows what happens if/when he actually gets in. But it seems like progress.

This graphic shows the supermarkets in the UK and how they stack up on pesticides. Of course, Aldi and ASDA are the worst.
If you can afford it, buy fruit and veg. from M&S, Waitrose, or the Co-Op. Vote with your money.

Soy is one of the most disgustingly sprayed crops in the world. It also has to travel by air.
Your movement is not all that it seems. If you just want to stop the killing of sentient beings. I get that. But don't pretend you're angels.

Did I say we should all be meat eaters? I'm not stating that as a scientific fact.
Let's turn this around. Let's start with you garden. Here are some photos of mine. I planted all you can see. I grow 80% of my own fruit/veg. I compost. I collect rainwater. I work from home. NO car! Let's see yours.

OMG! You are continuing with the straw man argument.
Ok, let's play this game. Let's go back and forth with graphs and see who can make the better point. UK meat consumption is down 17%. While global meat consumption continues to sky rocket.
What point are you trying to prove? I'm NOT pro meat!

Great idea! What metrics should be used? Consumption of Food? Clothes? Steel? Cement? Electronics? Cars?
Or, we could just show the global energy consumption, showing a steep J-Curve, signifying the insane amounts of energy used to create the things we consume, like on this graph. 😱

And this, everyone, is another reason capitalism is not all it seems. UnitedHealth revenue was $400+ billion last year. But, their revenue guidance for '25 has been suspended. And down it goes!
GROWTH! That's all capitalism cares about. When GROWTH is uncertain, people lose their retirement funds!

Immigration, climate change, environmental issues and just about anything Trump is doing. Stop focusing on boundaries.

Trump has spent 25% of his presidency, this term, golfing.
The Russia/Ukraine war is still on.
He’s tanked the stock market.
Grocery prices have not fallen.
We’re in a trade war with everyone.
Trump Gaza is on the table.
Measles are back.
Sanity and logic are sadly, not!

Dr. Michael Mann just blocked me for asking for proof. One of the world's leading climate scientists posted to his Bluesky account, that Elon Musk is not worried about population decline, he is worried about WHITE population decline.
Fact check. Always fact check. He knows better! Shame on you.

We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace -- business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering.
They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs.

If we want to save birds we'd be better off banning cats than banning wind turbines.
Funny, how that's never discussed by people on the right, who say how much they love birds. "Windmills" should be destroyed, but don't you dare touch our cats.
