Purportedly, Fetterman has displayed some cognitive impairment since his stroke - including depression & struggles with executive functioning that have been exacerbated by lack of adherence to his medication protocols.

Why are SO MANY Americans still supporting the media platforms of deranged Zuckerberg while he actively supports - to the tune of billions - the illegal authoritarian takeover by #republicans?

If you are *still* on Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp, you're supporting FASCISM.

In Spain, architects are transforming city walls into living power plants fitting buildings with algae panels that absorb CO₂ and produce bio-fuel. These green facades don’t just clean the air; they turn urban spaces into generators of sustainable energy. via fouledupfacts

It was Kissinger who nixed Nixon's attempt to drop a nuclear bomb.

What will happen when NO ONE says "No" to Trump, as has been happening since Inauguration Day.

Trump - because of THIS administration & party - is capable of nuclear annihilation.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Don’t be a mug — read the trend. 📈 Renewables are set to overtake coal as the world’s top power source by 2026. Solar, wind & batteries aren’t the future — they’re the system now. Fossil fuels are flatlining while clean power goes exponential. #SolarDominion #DisruptionDecade #BESS #EnergyTransition

No, those top execs get bonuses...

Cuz the goal is automating through AI & robots as much of the day-to-day operations as possible.

Thursday: Target to lay off 1800 corporate jobs
Monday: Amazon to lay off 30,000 corporate jobs
Tuesday: UPS to lay off 48,000 operations and management jobs

You'd think with all these layoffs, CEOs and CFOs and COOs would also be fired. Alas.

With the acquisition of Paramount/CBS by Oracle's Larry Ellison and the hiring of uber right ideologue Bari Weiss, no one should bother tuning in to CBS news. It's just another Fox clone

Another big reason to worry about Bari Weiss’ tenure at CBS News
