Wild that a billionaire’s companies committed fraud for 15 years, found guilty on all counts, and they face a max fine of $1.61 million for their crimes. No jail time. Zero criminal charges. That’s not justice, that’s a payment processing fee. Cost of doing business in America.

THREAD. This is a thread about a "crime wave" that you barely hear about in the daily national news or on local tv every night. A crime wave by corporate landlords. It's important to understand what is happening, and also who benefits from the media not treating it as urgent.

I just saw someone say “as you get older, it’s harder to make friends”

And I just want to make sure it’s clear that the problem is capitalism taking all our time and energy and not just due to being older like it’s natural causes

We could have changed the world. Normalizing remote work would have reduced carbon emissions, curbed mass infection, freed up space for downtown housing, and put full-time employment within reach for so many more. 1/10

Pakistan is responsible for less than 1% of global carbon emissions, and is currently the country most drastically affected by the catastrophe we are already living through

One day young people will look at pictures of gas stations the way they look at rotary phones and cassette tapes today.

That day cannot come soon enough.

The thing about tolerance for the intolerant is it presents this deceptive idea that all people are deserving of respect and kindness and it’s simply untrue. You should never have to tolerate someone who holds bigotry, misogyny, xenophobia, or homophobia in their hearts.

[Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they) 🪬 @DoctorVive]

The idea that we can "overshoot" 1.5 C and then reverse ecological damage later with carbon dioxide removal is not empirical science, but capitalist ideology, which claims, falsely, that any negative externality of growth is temporary and can be overcome by innovation.

The fugitive #CarolynBryant has finally been found, and living in an apartment in Kentucky. It’s been 20 years since she was last seen. This is a win for justice, this is a win for the Emmett Till family. #PullUpSeason

When they say they're worried that Monkeypox will spread to the "general population," I can't help thinking that this removes anyone who is already impacted from humanity.
