@Interior so why omit the part about whites thieving Japanese assets, businesses, boats, houses, warehouses and all the wealth of their enterprises? Stealing with complete impunity. That's state-sanctioned common petty criminal theft. Tell the truth!
@SaulGonzalezCA because they could uproot ancient stands of native oaks crucial for atmospheric moisture in a seasonal arid climate, to replace them with vast tracts of monoculture--inevitably leading to today's environmental catastrophes. Settler $-hite.
@DeondreSmiles sounds like they are missing entire academic fields in the philosophy of science, human consciousness, brain/neuroscience studies that are picking apart the enterprise of science
A good chunk of the depression we are feeling comes not just from watching fellow human being massacred with impunity but also the realisation that those who tasked with 'representing' us only represent money & power, that the wishes of millions of us is of no consequence to them
first they created the illusion that humans are seperate from nature .they created an ecoapartheid , separating us from the earth.then they divided us on class, race, religion ,gender - Now they are are turning the divide between "haves" & "have nots" into "lives" & "livenots"
WARNING: Meteorologists are currently debating whether California is about to get hit by something that they've been dreading for a long time: A series of storms that will drop multiple feet of rain over a few weeks.
They're not certain (yet), but it is entirely possible that what is brewing in the Pacific right now heralds the beginning of the dreaded #ARkStorm. (Atmospheric River 1000 = A.R.k.)
Multiple feet of rain. In a month.
100 inches of rain, in some areas.
Yeah. That's a big deal.
The ARkStorm is a cyclical catastrophic event happens every 150-200 years. The last one hit in 1861. When it returns, it will do more damage to the state than a major 8.0 earthquake (the big one) would.
It will displace MILLIONS of people up and down the state. It will destroy roads and bridges. It will leave major metro areas like Los Angeles without clean running water and electricity for weeks.
The biggest danger?
By the time city officials realize that they need to evacuate neighborhoods, there won't be enough time and resources to evacuate everyone.
The Central Valley will be especially hard hit. It will become a 300 mile long, 20 mile wide lake. Their homes will be covered in 10-20 feet of flood water.
I know it sounds impossible.
But this is a real danger.
And it might be here. Now.
So follow meteorologists on Twitter. Keep your eye on the local news. Sign up for local Nixle alerts on your phone. Make a plan, and be ready to go.
But remember, they won't be able to definitively say it's an ARkStorm until it's probably too late to leave. So if you're not up for this, evacuate early, if circumstances allow.

@PeepsPowertothe @ecomarxi @RishiSunak the mind of the colonized people (their socialization norms & aspirations) is the ultimate weapon of the colonizer/oppressor. A neocolonial subject does their work gladly...losing their origin and ingratiating themselves on the colonizer trellis.
Me: I'm running for Congress.
Uber driver: Just don't touch the Palestine issue, it's very sensitive.
Me: I'm very outspoken about Palestinian liberation.
Uber driver: Okay, in that case, you are going to win. I will tell everyone I know in Long Beach to vote for you.
@andrewsummey@RamAbdu Only contradictory if you're ignorant & obtuse. Israel's genocide crimes are via indiscrimate aerial bombardment with 2X firepower of a nuclear bomb. Also robot-mediated aerial assassinations. The IDF are amateur criminals. Deaths/injuries from ground combat tell their story.
@andrewsummey@RamAbdu too late... the "strong nation" has destroyed their own. The hostages were shot to death whilst waving white cloths, by the "strong nation's" diaper force tiktok army.
@msfreund@Remroum Puhlease. Why is Israel participating in the Eurovision Song Contest while also bellowing and barking that they are indigenous to the Middle East? Where are the cultural traditions germaine to the ME? Fake falafel?
@Remroum so indigenous to the Middle East? So why is Israel--uniquely disconnected/distant from Europe--part of their annual central cultural showpiece, the Eurovision Song Contest?
Europeans superimposing themselves on to the ME gaslighting about being native is their whole "schtick".
@Thatadityaiyer Goes back to the constricted protocols of western science which have unleashed technological innovation. Its instrumental power seduces societies. Epistemically also, science bamboozles with its claims on truth--actually unnaturally-narrow, partial models of causal explaination.
@Philip_Goff attempts to evaluate systems--scientifically--end up measuring what can easily be measured, rather than what actually matters but can't be measured. This is the constricted explanatory ore of science. Perniciously, its conventions obscure people's ability to perceive its limits.
@daisymccrackin its easy: the cognitive project of western science which has restricted all framing of understanding, and summons all other subjects to follow its rules.
