I want to make sure everyone knows that "plastic production" includes your clothes. Polyester, nylon, "synthetic," are all basically plastic fibers, made from oil. And every time you wash those polyester clothes they release microplastics into the water!

Human waste backing up in basements is a gut-churning sign of US infrastructure problems A major sewer pipe collapse has dumped hundreds of millions of gallons of sewage into the Potomac River, highlighting a nationwide problem involving failing infrastructure.

No money to feed hungry children.
No money to home the unhoused.
No money for health insurance.
No money to stop sewage from backing up into our homes.
But billions of dollars are spent bombing a country that was no threat to us.

Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."

🛢️ U.S fossil fuel industry funded Trump.

🇻🇪 Trump overthrew the Venezuelan gov’t to exploit world’s largest oil reserves.

Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy, experts warn States and financial bodies using modelling that ignores shocks from extreme weather and climate tipping points

”Another finding was that GDP can mask the full cost of climate damage by failing to account for deaths and ill health, social disruption and degraded ecosystems.”

Trump’s war in Iran is costing Americans $1.5 BILLION more at the pump this week.

You’re not getting better roads.

You’re not getting cleaner air.

Just higher prices — as corporations cash in on Trump’s chaos.

Hey People: you know when you are late to a sporting event and taking your sweet time finding your seats, you’re not only wasting money, you are also disrespecting your team and blocking views for the fans who actually are here to watch the game.

Thanks to Trump’s tax giveaways, Ticketmaster’s parent company paid $0 in federal income taxes last year, and made over $145 million – while overcharging Americans for concerts, sports, and more.

the most embarrassing thing about american fascism is that the impetus-- a desire to return to a mystical lost past of wealth and pleasure and abundance-- is imaginary. we're the richest country on the planet and have been for centuries and that was never at risk. and yet.

US troops were told war on Iran was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’, watchdog alleges Religious freedom group says 200 troops sent complaints of superiors using extremist Christian rhetoric to justify war

A group of 15 servicemembers say their commander told them: “Trump has been annointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran that will cause Armageddon.” That’s just one of dozens of similar complaints. Holy shit. WHERE IS THIS STORY IN THE U. S. PRESS?

The whole "war on cars" whining is really the perfect example of, "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."

The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.
