They have forgotten thoughtful speech,
They talk obsessed by words alone.
Uncurbed their mouths, they bawl at will;
None knows what leads him so to act.

Everyday I try and every day I get the same error. It should be against the law to treat someone like this. I hate this site, I don’t want to be associated with it in anyway.
This is what men do to women, they hold us against our will. I keep trying to deactivate this account to delete it and the fascist, Elon Musk, won’t let me leave. I’ve been trying over a week.
“The creation of corporations was one of the biggest self-annihilation moves of human civilisation. These are entities which exploit humans and the Earth, and which are governed not by humans or ethics, but by profit. Humanity is essentially owned by something abstract and inhuman, and this should be of grave concern to all of us”

The 5 richest men on the planet now hold a combined $869 billion in wealth.
If each of them were to spend a million dollars daily, it would take them 476 years to exhaust their wealth.
Don't tell me they can't afford a wealth tax.
The horrific climate extremes once expected at 4 or 5°C of global warming (at which point scientists definitely have doubts about human survival) are now understood to hit at 2°C which we can anticipate between 2032 and 2046. Media remain totally silent about this grim reality.🧵

Democrats have introduced a bill in both houses of Congress to ban hedge funds from buying and owning single-family homes.
The bill would require all hedge funds to sell off all the single-family homes they own within 10 years, then prohibit them from owning any again.
I cannot look at the world I live in and think that collapse is a future event.
I think we are well into it.
When all the borders of all the nations of the world are armed camps and refugees, global society is collapsing.

The past 12 months were the hottest ever on record
The 12 months between November 2022 and October 2023 saw global average temperatures rise 1.32°C above the preindustrial average – that is 0.03°C above the previous record set between October 2015 and September 2016.
“This is the hottest temperature our planet has experienced in something like 125,000 years,” says Andrew Pershing at Climate Central, a climate science nonprofit in the US.
Pershing and his colleagues based their analysis on surface temperature data from the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. They found that the main driver of the heat was global warming due to rising concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Attributing the exact amount of warming to different factors is challenging, but Friederike Otto at Imperial College London says about 1.28°C of the rise in average temperatures can be attributed to climate change.
The team found much of the rest of the heat could be attributed to the shift to a warm El Niño climate pattern in the Pacific Ocean in June. “There’s only a very small part of this 1.32°C that is natural variability,” says Otto.
