In 3 yrs this #solar installation at an Arkansas high school turned the district’s budget from a $250K deficit to a $1.8 million surplus. They're using the surplus to pay teachers more

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

@ArnulfoCarden17 @JustinTrudeau What is absolutely hilarious is that Americans assume this was Trump without realizing Canada was doing this already as part of their last budget. They just played Trump. Big. Meanwhile they've removed US liquor, Starlink and multiple US dependent resources.

[Trend Privé Magazine @TrendPriveMag]

@the_tech_tweets @JustinTrudeau It didn't. This was already planned.

1. 50,000 Palestinian Christians had to flee their homes in 1948, four decades before the creation of Hamas.
2. Bethlehem is cut off from Jerusalem by the Israeli wall.
3. Bethlehem is encircled by 22 Israeli settlements.
4. Settlers have launched attacks around Bethlehem.

Dahlias becoming a hotel for frogs.

Allison Lamb raises around 200 dahlias on her property and was delighted to discover that the blooms serve as a perfectly sized house for frogs.

It's hard to understand the tyranny of a system that relies on propaganda and manipulation as opposed to overt totalitarianism, in the same way it can be harder to recognize a psychologically abusive relationship than a physically abusive one.

You grow up learning that if a man puts his hands on a woman she needs to get the hell out of there, but you can live your entire adult life in a relationship where your partner twists your mind into knots to bend you to his will without recognizing what's happening. In exactly the same way, we grow up learning about Evil Dictatorships in other countries where dissent is banned and the government controls the populace with an iron fist, but we can go our entire lives without recognizing that we are ruled by powerful people who use mass-scale psychological manipulation to exert an even greater degree of control over us.

The truth is we live in a highly abusive mind-controlled dystopia where people's thoughts, words and actions are largely predetermined by an information system controlled by powerful plutocrats and empire managers, and the genius of it is that it controls us to a greater degree than overt tyranny ever could while at the same time giving us the collective delusion that we are free.

We are indoctrinated from childhood by corrupt education systems which construct the mainstream empire-authorized worldview inside our skulls, and that worldview is continually bolstered, steered, and added onto throughout adulthood from every direction we've been trained to get our information from. The news media are controlled by wealthy oligarchs with a vested interest in preserving the political status quo upon which their wealth is premised. Silicon Valley tech plutocrats quickly learn that living the high life is a lot easier for them if they collaborate with US government agencies and help protect the information interests of the US-centralized empire. Wealthy elites control mainstream culture by restricting which people and what ideas are given a platform in the culture-manufacturing centers of New York and Los Angeles.

We grow up thinking we are free, but in a very real sense people are less free in our society than they are under a proper dictatorship: under a standard dictatorship people's minds are freer, because people know they are not free. In our society people think, speak, vote, shop, work and behave exactly how the powerful want them to, mindlessly regurgitating political opinions that were inserted into their brains by their rulers and sincerely believing they came up with it themselves.

A quote from Chomsky:

“Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the U.S. media.”

Another quote from Chomsky:

“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum — even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.”

Another:

“Propaganda is to a democracy what the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state.”

@dom_lucre That's actually next level villain activity. How... do they not... Jsmh.

[Trend Privé Magazine @TrendPriveMag]

This. We have the answers. It's high time we stop pretending that we don't.

This is Europe's largest onshore wind farm. It can generate enough energy to power 1 million homes.

Heartbreaking 💔

[𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐙𝐖 @CrimeWatchZW]

[VIDEO] Really Sad💔. This man felt compelled to take drastic action to prevent city council officers from confiscating the goods he was selling on the side of the road. He laid under the city council vehicle and told them that if they took his goods, they might as well drive over him so he could di€.

Sustainability is about more than just the fabrics we use, it's about people.

Interesting that the #OldGuard thinks that pandering to #celebrityculture was the point of Twitter. That's kind of why we left. Because #boring. Initially it seemed like a place for #intelligentdebate & discourse. Perhaps now we can get back to that? #bluecheckmark

[Nathan Hubbard @NathanCHubbard]

2)The reason the Twitter Media team existed was because *almost all* of the engagement on Twitter happens with tweets from high profile people/organizations across government, sports, music, business, news, whatever the Kardashians are, etc. They’re the lifeblood of the platform.

@iramadisonthree She sued him for $1. And won. Now he has to pay her legal fees. She didn't lose anything, she gained her feeling of "take that and shove it." He lost. Both the cost of suing her AND the sense of entitlement. Oh, and the $1. It was a VERY Paltrow move. Well played IMO.

[Trend Privé Magazine @TrendPriveMag]

@vicpdcanada Curious about which actually helpful tactics are being implemented to facilitate communication with youth after three years of forced isolation? Anyone tackling the root? Or... just this?

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

Over 1100 people have been arrested protecting some of the last remaining iconic old growth forests in British Columbia. It's the largest act of environmental civil disobedience in Canada's history.

Oh wait... are we still doing studies? At what point do we stop paying for "studies" and actually make definitely progressive actions? Because, you know, lots of us have known all of this for decades and are DOING the things. (Insert eyeroll here) @IPCC

[Leo Hickman @LeoHickman]

The final sentence of new IPCC report:

"The scientific evidence is unequivocal: climate change is a threat to human well-being and the health of the planet.
Any further delay in concerted global action will miss a brief and rapidly closing window to secure a liveable future."

BAM! New Zealand banned all new oil and gas development. Now they're looking to go 100% #renewable.

Forty years later, a dying planet, toxic air... and we are still being arrested for trying to protect the earth. It's not just heartbreaking... it's idiocy. #Forestry #ClimateCrisis #lookingstupidontheworldstage
