Today I had to block several accounts questioning an earlier response to AOC, where I stated a well-known fact, namely that a well funded industry of troll farms, fake news factories, click farms exists. It IS used daily in a scientific manner to gaslight millions.👇

You know who’s not in the Epstein files?

Undocumented immigrants.
Trans people.
Drag queens.
People who write books & create art with LGBTQ+ content.

It’s rich, powerful and mostly white men.

They want you to blame the “others” so you won’t blame them.

Per me, come sempre, questa giornata costa uno sforzo davvero importante.

Credo che se la eliminassero, insieme al suo carico di mercimoni, fintitudini e ipocrisie, forse staremmo tutti meglio.

@phastidio.net - forse perché l’antifragilità costa, e costoro pensano che faccia più “smart business” ribaltare l’esternalità altrove?

I feel that our problem today is only one: to unite.
To gather what remains of us after the disaster, to fill our hearts with noble intentions.

So you want to be a billionare?
Please…!

But be a billionaire like Rick, a person of soul and human substance, choose to light a torch in the night of misery and hardship, instead of spreading darkness and misery.

Thank you mr Steves for choosing not to be a Musk, Trump, or Bezos.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Esorto vivamente la visita della mostra di Marc Chagall a Ferrara.
Semplicemente splendida, toccante e ricca di opere che altrimenti difficilmente vengono esposte.

It is not easy to qualify for disability benefits.

The process can take years, is exhausting and dehumanizing.

It’s designed to make people give up and/or die before there’s a payout.

This is why disabled people say they don’t owe you an explanation.

Negli anni 90 già mi domandavo quale potesse essere l’utilità strategica di lasciare che i jostri imprenditori delocalizzassero massicciamente.
30 anni dopo, arriva il conto.

No one should be offered death in lieu of treatment.

No one should be offered death when they’re asking for help.

It’s coercive even if they have the “right” to say no, because if no other treatments are offered they’re going to experience tremendous suffering.

Fucking criminal shame.

Bruxelles bowing to special interests from the lorry drivers, who would love to keep on driving their Euro 0 decrepit and polluting rustbuckets.

Same special interest groups pushing climate denial, anti-science (and novax, no-euro, pro-Putin, pro-Trump, etc) agendas.
Pressure from EU countries, lawmakers and the automotive industry is likely pushing the European Commission to delay the revision of the bloc's ban on diesel and petrol cars by 2035.

#Svizzera - qualcuno dovrebbe imparare da JP Morgan, che si rifiuta di dare un contributo alla nuova ala della Casa Bianca perché, conflitti d’interesse, percezione, etc.

Da noi invece i partiti di DX elogiano l’incontro con corruzione tra imprenditori elvetici e Trump in nome del business.

Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words:

“Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.”

That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition
