"In the U.S., the meat you eat each year could be responsible for a level of GHG emissions similar to what's emitted to power your house."

Besides emissions, there's the huge land use (precluding more beneficial uses), air/water pollution, water use, risks of pandemics & other heatlh risks, etc...

Meat consumption in U.S. cities contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, with impacts varying by location due to complex supply chains and production practices.

Revealing the 'carbon hoofprint' of meat consumption for American cities

Depending on where you live in the United States, the meat you eat each year could be responsible for a level of greenhouse gas emissions that's similar to what's emitted to power your house.

Center-right Democratic partisans say shit like this but fail to realize that their weak corrupt so-called liberalism is the fertilizer necessary for fascism to grow. A big tent is one thing, and necessary, but you can't let in people who make a career out of destroying the support poles.

Melissa Chan @melissakchan.bsky.social · 1d

Folks demanding political / ideological purity fail to see that this is no longer a movement belonging to the left / liberals. This is an opposition against fascism. By definition it must be big tent. Failure to grasp this: see divided oppositions in Eastern Europe as your failed examples.

On this episode of At Liberty, we discuss what his deportation means for the state of free speech.

After the floods, sickness follows.

In Pakistan, over 6 million people have fallen ill in temporary camps — dengue, cholera, malaria up 87%.

When the waters rise, disease comes with them.
This is what climate collapse looks like.

The bigger factor was turnout. Come on. This your first day thinking about elections? But yes, that's also the whole bigger point here. If you want to look at it through a partisan lens, Democrats have hit their ceiling with non-white voters. So taking them for granted was not wise.

That wasn't the assertion, it's just the system we have, and Trump won the popular vote so that doesn't help your assertion here. The point is just floating over your head waiting for you to look up i guess.

Narrow identity politics ignores the greater pyramid of modern exploitation. It comes off as a strange anti-Marxism, even if it's not. But this isn't anything personal.

Oh? You can say that's just a distraction but when you factor in the crackdown on undocumented immigration and refugees and the international place the US consumer has in a global system of environmental destruction and exploitation, you see the traditional narrative gets glitchy.
