“Jija killed his own son for what a completely different person did, long before that son’s birth. This, more than anything, helps her finally understand that there is no reasoning with her father’s hatred.” #ObeliskGate
This guy personally hoards over $2 billion, his company made $50 billion last year, and he still wants to 'knife fight' regulators. That quote "Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich" could not be more true.
In the past week, scientists have warned us about AMOC collapse, that we're on course for a catastrophic 3°C of warming, and that the last time CO2 was this high, it WAS that hot and the ocean was 50' higher.

Jeff Bezos became $533 million richer on Monday

53% of Amazon workers are food insecure
They don't need a "thank you" bag
They need a union
So let me get this straight. Elon can hand out million dollar checks to voters who sign his petition, but volunteers can’t hand out water to people waiting in line to vote?
Today, is a good day to remember that Trump would veto a $15 minimum wage & legislation making it easier for McDonald's workers to join unions. In Denmark, where they have strong unions, the minimum wage is $22 and a Big Mac is 3 cents cheaper. Welcome to corporate greed, boss.
American author Ursula K. Le Guin was born on this day in 1929.
“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings.”
I'm fed up with science contrarianism. It's not clever.
Modern science has its flaws but it's an attempt to coordinate the work of hundreds of thousands of people globally and to have those efforts extended across multiple lifetimes.
"Do your own research" can't replace that.
BREAKING: Young people are sitting-in at @CBS HQ in NYC urging Moderator @NorahODonnell to include a question about climate change and Hurricane Helene in tonight's VP debate.
The media needs to talk about Hurricane Helene for what it is—Big Oil’s greed destroying our homes.
