Centuries-old trees are planetary anchors. They store carbon, shelter millions of species, and hold our soil in place. Reducing them to ash for short-term profit is not developmentβit's ecocide. #StopDeforestation #ClimateCrisis
As well as the unconscionable loss of life, the illegal attack on #Iran by Trump and Netanyahu has devastating consequences for the environment, with global consequences in the #ClimateCrisis.
Many voters still don't understand what AIPAC stands for. Education is a scarce resource these days.

Speaking of AIPAC...
With their 'religious freedom' rants Pierre Poilievre's Conservative Taliban Party attempts to embed Jesus top to bottom into Canadian politics and government. Christian extremists are a political arm of the CPC, rallying against abortion, gays etc to force their intolerant brand of Jesus on Canada.
Marco Rubio's BFF is an accused foreign agent and money launderer. His trial is about to start β and Rubio is on the witness list.

JD Vance: "βIf you're worried about the world spinning out of control, if you're worried about a military draft, if you're worried about, God forbid, a world war, the best way to prevent it is to vote for Trump."
This is some North Korea level propaganda.

Trump's got about 39% support right now. How is that possible?
two things:
1. fascism has a constituency
2. partisanship is powerful
I talk about both at some length here. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/why-isnt-t...

My favorite part of Houston's announcement was when he said resource extraction companies are going to come here, set up shop & spend money (before they destroy our environment & hide in tax havens). While ignoring that people who already live, work & spend money here are losing their livelihood.
He said excursion, not incursion, because he misread what the speech writer put in front of him & these sycophants feel the need to normalize the mistake.
Also, does Trump get royalties every time one of his cult members gets a treatment from the resident Mar-a-Lago cosmetic surgeon?
My latest newsletter: the deadline for a deal between Ottawa and Alberta on industrial carbon pricing is just weeks away. The oil and gas companies and their political proxies are already trying to tilt the table in their direction β and fudge the facts.

rampant corruption, feckless politicians, corrupt judges, ignorant and indifferent population.....
Under normal conditions this would be the end of the Trump presidency.

It's so bad that we've reached a point where members of Congress casually discuss stripping citizenship from and deporting people because they don't like their views.
On my regular morning walk I quite often see a city truck parked at Alderney Landing while the driver picks up trash from several locations around the park. They leave the truck idling. When I ask if they've ever been told not to idle, the answer is always no. On the + side they do have 1 EV pickup
I mostly see our parks and rec department driving around in big trucks like f350s with empty beds.
Meanwhile thereβs a 14 year old in my neighbourhood who tows an electric lawnmower and more gardening tools than Iβve ever seen in a parks truck behind their e-bike for their summer job.
Bup, bup. The worst cabinet in American history *so far*.

Hegseth on Iran: βTrump has set a very specific mission to accomplish.β
(uh, help Russia?)
The Pentagon calculated it was spending $1 billion a day on Trump and Netanyahuβs war. The truth? It was $3 billionβ¦and thatβs just for munitions.
Plus theyβve alarmed everyone by burning through scarce munitions in a matter of days.
Fortune: Oil over $100, markets in freefall, and Iranβs new Supreme Leader is Trumpβs worst case scenario.
Expecting Trump to show leadership is like expecting cigarettes to cure cancer.

"Don't Forget Gaza and the Palestinians"
"Israel is using the illegal war on Iran to continue to kill and starve Gaza, steal more Palestinian land, and restrict movement in the West Bank, writes Diana Buttu for Zeteo. "Don't look away."
Zelensky said more Patriots were used in 3 days fighting Iran than used by Ukraine since 2022. Imagine how much Ukrainian energy infrastructureβand how many Ukrainian civiliansβmight have survived the winter if Trump had sent more Patriots to Ukraine rather than to a βwar of whim.β wapo.st/4ui9QzJ
In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing
Deputy AG Todd Blanche promised to dump his crypto holdings no later than 90 days after his Senate confirmation last March.
But about a month into the job β before divesting β he ordered an end to investigations into crypto companies.
