I have found my song:

#FossilFuelsAreToxicGarbage

#FossilFuels have to be treated like the 1 time use toxic junk they are and stop pretending they can be cleaned up at the producer side or at the consumer side. They are hazardous at both ends, toxic to exploit and toxic in use.

The basic problem here is that fascists do not want to live with you. This all presupposes democratic politics that they do not want to practice. There will be no reciprocity here, and if you act as if there will be if you avoid calling them fascists and venerate their martyrs, you‘ll get crushed.

The French historian is a detail after detail, scholar. Have not seen 1/10th of the material as collected and collated here. Surprising what is out there for the pickings and the revelations. Too much to take? It is a "shock and awe" article, evidencing well US fears on how compromised "they" are.

DAY 1/ Wall Street Journal: "Shooter was motivated by trans/antifa grievances."

DAY 2/ WSJ finds out the shooter was not trans or antifa, but a Trump supporter who was a huge fan of Charlie Kirk's notorious rival Nick Fuentes.

DAY 3/ WSJ: "We have no idea what motivated the shooter. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

There are a lot of grifters out there, a lot of whom are quite good at it and make a lot of money telling billionaires and the right wing mob exactly what they want to hear.

But there aren't many that can get Ezra Klein to give them a posthumous blowjob in the Times.

Reupping, in significant part bc I believe fighting back against Trump's claim Dems are "filth" is a more effective use of time than whining about Dems.

Somewhere in the neighbourhood of 55 Canadians - those that we know about .. are in detention facilities in the US.

The United States is not safe for anyone. The evil and cruelty never end.

I very much doubt that I will ever set foot in the US again in my lifetime.

Canada is the top country in the world, achieving that noble position by locking down 1st place in a number of categories.
In 2 days we will be celebrating how wonderful we are.
BULLSHIT!
Just ask George Floyd or the parents of the children whose bodies became minced meat in their classrooms.

I had the pleasure of guesting on the first ever LIVE @lateralcast.com.

While I was there I had to tease out a few climate confessions from the crew, and they obliged with some very candid stuff!
