Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.
The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generationβs worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.
Itβs time for accountability.
This is the guy Congress wants to give money to for WW3?? www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
Apart from the moral repugnance, this is so revealing of how ignorant conservatives are about poverty. Poor people have to think about money ALL THE TIME. They worry constantly about what everything costs, how to substitute one purchase for another, what bill can be put off until payday, etc.
It should be important to Dems. Demoralizing the Dem base by voting with GOP/trump could lose us elections! www.commondreams.org/news/democra...
They've learned nothing and they intend to learn nothing.
I think the vast majority of that team is Americans? So DR really beat America?!
Totally agree, I just worry about Dems in Congress voting for trump even with how bad things are. How bad do things have to get before they stop voting with GOP/trump?? Won't this hurt voter turnout? Aren't upcoming elections too important to play with?
$3 million is enough to keep Richmond virtual academy open.
Agreed. It's time to stop the purity tests and unite against GOP/trump. The only thing that matters is NOT voting for or with GOP/trump bsky.app/profile/jona...
But if Dems want to get rid of the GOP why do they keep voting with them? bsky.app/profile/jona...
Yup, too many of them keep voting with the GOP/trump bsky.app/profile/jona...
Gotta convince a lot of democrats to stop supporting the GOP too bsky.app/profile/jona...

The bi-partisan commitment to genocide should've also been a warning sign.
They'll do anything except tax billionaires.

Seems bad that our politics requires this much fundraising. Might contribute to the decay of democracy and the dystopian moment we find ourselves in.
Two things:
1. No one knows how to effectively resist authority like a teenager. Thereβs a reason young people lead social movements.
2. This kind of stuff is why conservatives actually want to ban kids from accessing the Internet. They want to take away their freedom and autonomy.
βIn a dozen instances, misreads by Flock's automated license plate readers, or a lack of verification by officers, resulted in people who hadn't committed crimes being stopped at gunpoint, sent to jail, or mauled by a police dog, among other outcomes.β
Read an article of a white woman wrongly arrested based on this. She recorded her conversation with the sheriff who freely, joyfully admitted that he didnβt care that she had proof she wasnβt the one Flock recorded. His glee triggered my PTSD. Cops are having a blast with this.

My bestie just sent me this and now Iβm the salon fighting back tears. When I saw her live this summer it was a holy experience.
Surveillance is not a purely philosophical issue with purely esoteric harms. Surveillance is a sensitive and often faulty trigger that summons armed agents of the state with impunity that can take away a person's freedom.
Theyβd spend more time fundraising
