If you believe that revolution is the only way left to restore the nation and bring back democracy, while considering violence to be overly 'barbaric', you might want to look into the People Power Revolution that occurred in the Philippines in 1986. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_....
All branches of government have been compromised. The people must find different ways to reclaim the country.
How are we supposed to exercise democracy with these kinds of people? This is also why religion and con artists are doing so well. youtube.com/shorts/E8QVI...
Hope and expectation are two totally different ideas. We really hope these reds and oranges turn back into blues. But honestly, our hope doesn't mean much. Does it?
The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years. CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years. But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kids’ futures. Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.
To reclaim democracy, we have to kick out the dictators first.
I think the same of capitalism.

“You cannot argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience” -Mark Twain This is why the medical experts are leaving the CDC.
Also, every accusation is a confession.
Mike Johnson claims the issue is mental health, yet he seems to be all about supporting and idolizing a child rapist.
This is what is happening throughout the entire world!
Despite the heavy rain, individuals continue to gather in large numbers to worship their God. Reason has ceased to exist. #WASF
Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"
Where do we come from? @profaliceroberts.bsky.social explains the humanist answer to that question and illustrates the wonder to be found in the scientific story of our origins. A delightful animation for children! understandinghumanism.org.uk/res_films/wh...
When it involves business and money, many adopt a 'better safe than sorry' attitude. However, regarding the great uncertainties of climate change, they tend to choose a 'least drama' approach. Strange, isn't it?

From a broader viewpoint, the oppression of the U.S. citizens by its fascist government, it is incomparable to, for example, the ongoing slavery in the mines of Congo, which serves to satisfy the insatiable appetites of the world's greedy capitalists. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...
What has caused us to find ourselves in this predicament? The answer lies in the fact that empathy does not enrich those greedy, malicious oligarchs. Unfortunately, they are the ones who currently control the world. This is a consequence of our support of capitalism. We are willfull ignorants.
Because destroying the US is not enough, Trump is using tariffs, visa restrictions, and trade deals to pressure other countries to abandon climate goals and increase fossil fuel use, further destroying the world and the future.

I saw today the dramatic effects of global heating up close. This is the Bonhus glacier in SW Norway, the photo on the left is from 1890. Like all glaciers in Norway it is shrinking rapidly.
"And right now, as far as we know, we’re emitting CO2 10 times faster than was emitted in the run-up to the Permian mass extinction... That doesn’t mean we’ll necessarily spark another mass extinction on par with the Permian, but we really are leaping into the unknown."
The leader of the United States is basically an elderly dictator who's lost his marbles.

None of this is true. There is not one single piece of evidence that shows wind turbine or its construction has killed any whales. And... fish are attracted to underwater objects, including wind turbine bases. They become underwater reefs and actually increase fish populations.
It definitely seems that way, and those graph lines are all curving. There's no question that everything is speeding up.
When you've made countless attempts to share your message and alert your community and government, yet they refuse to listen, it's essential to get ready for yourself and your children. Equip them as thoroughly as possible. The challenges ahead will be extremely difficult for them, truly very tough.

“It is insulting to their integrity and to the extraordinary sacrifices that they make to serve in the guard, to use them as a political prop, where they could be put in situations where they will be at odds with their local communities, the ones that they seek to serve.”
You've already lost your democracy, so why do you continue to rely on it?

This isn’t about republicans vs. democrats anymore. Party lines hold little meaning. It’s about whether we continue to exist as a constitutional republic or completely devolve into an autocracy. Every American should be outraged in their bones about what’s going on.
Good mournings #doomisphere 🤗 The video on this paper is one of the MOST IMPORTANT VIDEOS THAT I HAVE EVER DONE. It's of ENORMOUS IMPORTANCE for explaining the dire climate situation for ALL OF #HUMANITY and is one that 🫵 should not miss! STRAP IN + BUCKLE YOUR SEATBELTS! I'M NOT EXAGGERATING! #☠️
This is just like their old playbook all over again. Do you remember Trump's massive book of healthcare plan? www.cnn.com/2020/10/26/p...

The exclusivity of knowledge seems to be a way to keep power concentrated within a small circle. Was it motivated by greed? Definitely! After all, knowledge equates to power, and power translates to wealth. Ironically, their insatiable greed is what ultimately led to their downfall.
World War II ended with Russian troops using tanks and rifles to negotiate their way into Berlin, a bullet negotiating its way into Hitler's skull, and an atomic bomb negotiating its way onto Hiroshima. But it did not end with Churchill and FDR negotiating to give Hitler big chunks of Poland.
You're right; the individuals I mentioned were not the intended audience.
No, not all. Many people on this planet are born into disadvantaged families in poor countries. They have no benefits at all from the time they are born until they leave this world. They are simply trying to get by each day by adhering to the rules established by the capitalist elites of the world.
This is actually encouraging news. More and more people are choosing NOT to go to these circus shows.
"The order replaces the scientific experts who lead U.S. governmental scientific organizations with non-scientific political appointees who would have the power to decide what science could and could not be published." agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
„Such censorship of scientists has been attempted by failed governments of the past such as Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and early communist China, always with disastrous consequences for their citizens.“ Watching MAGA-US sleepwalking into disaster. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
The problem is that ignorant people simply can not understand sarcasm.
The rise of fascism and authoritarian rule is clear here; before long, every citizen will lose their rights!

We believe that we could find solutions to any problems that come our way until we can't. We thought there would always be another place to turn to for safety until there's no such place left. We've always valued ourselves highly until we reach a point where that confidence fades away.
Unfortunately, we're just self-centered fools who can't see the bigger picture and don't realize we're heading towards our own demise.
“That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump’s public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the U.S. military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.” – Aaron Rupar
We've got just two possible scenarios looming over us regarding our shrinking resources and habitable land; either the whole planet decides to come together to protect future generations (which, let's be real, is a long shot), or we’re staring down the barrel of World War 3.
Donald Trump is also a convicted felon, and still, we allow him to occupy the White House.
40 years of leaders ‘fixing’ the climate crisis inside growth capitalism…

#Pinks #ProudBlue Over the last thirty years sixty countries have liberalized their abortion laws. Four have rolled back abortion access: the U.S., El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Poland. Abortion is healthcare. Stop killing women with your antiquated ideas. reproductiverights.org/maps/worlds-...
When the abusers of white girls are powerful oligarchs, the white women become as expendable as the rest of us. This is clear evidence that we're in a class war!

"... humans are now injecting CO2 into the oceans and atmosphere today far surpasses the planet’s ability to keep pace. We are now at the initial stages of a system failure. If we keep at it for much longer, we might see what actual failure really means." www.theguardian.com/environment/...
The retrenchment has already begun at the bottom of the wealth pyramid. But there is no need to stress. It's going to ramp up to the top pretty quickly. In the end, we'll all go down together.

I really don't believe there's anyone like him throughout the entire history of world leaders. He's truly one of a kind, like, he's incredibly dumb, really, really dumb, he's wicked, he's a coward, and he literally stinks.
The U.S. government's view on Ukraine is kind of like when an intruder breaks into your neighbor's home with the intent to hurt their family. You can step in and help them defend themselves, but you prefer to just stand back and let them give in, letting the intruder take what they want.

"Man-made crisis"
The statements made by individuals such as Genevieve Guenther and Michael E. Mann are sufficiently ambiguous that we are unable to reach any definitive conclusions. Is this ambiguity a deliberate attempt to foster confusion?

When you came across a closed box on the road while heading home, and your friend suddenly insisted there was a gold coin inside, you wouldn't just take his word for it. It makes sense to ask him to back up his claim by opening the box and showing you what's inside. youtube.com/shorts/gSwt3...
