Citizens United turned the US from a democratic republic into an oligarchy, by fiat. And now the current criminal regime has turned the US into a kleptocracy. That is the most accurate classification of the US form of government now.

Hochul just betrayed her constituents, shoving more murderous, filthy fossil fuels down our throats for decades to come. She's up for "re-election" next year.

Remember how Biden campaigned on "No new drilling!" and how he would "make MBS a pariah"? Then in office he broke both promises in a big way, approving more new drilling than any president in history, and flying to Saudi Arabia to kiss MBS's ass. This is why voters are disgusted and don't show up.

Bill Gates has lost his way, if he ever had it to begin with, which I am beginning to question...
"The obstacles to limiting warming to below ever-more-dangerous levels remain political, rather than physical or technological."
But it won't be done with CO₂ removal (CDR) technologies because the obstacles to scaling CDR are political, social, financial, physical, and technological.

Bill Gates’s climate comments are a dangerous distraction
People do not have to dismiss or exaggerate the climate threat to justify concerted action.

The corruption runs deep
There was no justice for Jamal

The US sells F-35s to other countries, because it is not the top fighter jet - that would be the F-22. We never sell our "best" fighter jet at any given time to other countries. It's like how we used to sell F-16, but not F-15 when they were the top 2 fighters.

F-22 on the left and F-35 on the right. Notice how the F-22 is ahead of the F-35, which is, apropos even if coincidental, since the F-22 is a better, more advanced fighter plane. F-22 is the best air-to-air fighter jet in the world today. Not even the US Navy has them - only the US Air Force.

Yes, sadly, there's still a tidal wave of ignorance out there. Will you be one more light of reason? Vegan diets are better in EVERY way...

A vegan diet is kinder, healthier, better for the environment and tastier! There are so many great-tasting vegan foods out there now. And of course, many foods you already eat are vegan. You just need to ditch the animal flesh and dairy...

We don’t need better ways to exploit animals. We need justice. We need liberation. And we need it now, before the fires burn everything we cherish beyond recognition.
