Planetary collapse IS the plan. They’re gleefully strip mining this world while planning their escape to the next, and they couldn’t care less about deaths of billions. We can do better than capitalism, and we must.

Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔

Why do we still allow people with serious mental illness to buy guns? Because the first law Republicans passed under Trump in 2017, made it easier. There were over 4,000 mass shootings between 2017-2024, and this country elected him again. If that’s not proof America is sick, I don’t know what is.
