ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink.

Two Americas.

"A woman dressed as a pink Power Ranger hacked a dating site for far-right extremists. She deleted the entire site, but first she made users fall in love with AI bots she ran, thus obtaining information about them. Over 8,000 far-right profiles have now been mapped."
En kvinna, utklädd till rosa Power Ranger, hackade datingsida för högerextrema. Hon raderade hela sidan, men först fick hon användarna att bli kära i AI-botar som hon drev och fick på så sätt ut information om dem. Över 8000 högerextrema profiler har nu kartlagts.

The present global economic system has only one setting: destruction of everything that has true value for profit.

Yet if you point this out, you're assailed by smart arses trying to show how clever they are.

Such is the rush that even the Indonesia army has been brought in to speed up the deforestation

"The British empire invented and commited crimes so heinous people had to invent new words for them" is a surprisingly large category 👀
The word dystopia was first coined by John Stuart Mill to describe the British governments rule in Ireland

"they ought rather to be called dys-topians... what they appear to favour is too bad to be practicable."

Fucking incredible dystopian shit, comparing super rich people risking millions if not billions of lives just to make more money to people that risked their life actually building incredible things that would then make millions of dollars for super rich people.

Ireland's Article 17 report on the State of Nature in Ireland is shocking. 90% of EU-protected habitats in unfavourable status, up 5% in 6yrs, over half still declining.

Nature is in crisis - we need an ambitious Nature Restoration Plan backed by dedicated funding! www.rte.ie/news/environ...

If you or I put a private sewer discharging waste into one of our rivers or lakes, there'd be total *hell* to pay.

But a whole industry doesn't just get away with constantly polluting, the government makes a priority of fighting for their right to continue.

The result is our rivers are dying.
Excellent article from @elainemcgoff.bsky.social on the many, many failures that have led us to where we are.

Nobody asked the people of this country if we were willing to sacrifice our waterways so the dairy industry could wallow in profits

Most Irish people want clean water, not a nitrates derogation
Has the Government ever asked the people of Ireland if they agree with pulling on the green jersey to convince Europe to give us another derogation?
