Seems to me ‘clever’ tech bro wealth has up-ended THE biggest vital life truths:

Eg

Q: is it wrong to steal/kill?
A: No, genocide is fine if you pay enough bribes & lawyers

Q: has a century of extracting & burning fossil fuel heated up the planet?
A: Not while our bot-farms shout: IT’S A HOAX🔥

I suppose it IS possible

that some ‘farmers’ (such a broad category) are
hard-done-by, struggling, taken for granted, tired, & hard up 🧙‍♂️

And some others (maybe a minority?) privileged, powerful, wealthy, used to getting what they want: & expecting special exemption 🦊🎩

Both can be partly true 🤷‍♂️

My wish?
🧞‍♂️🪄🧚🧜🏼‍♂️🧝‍♂️🧌🦸‍♂️

@aoc.bsky.social to rid the world of the sick thug toxic man-child liar, and his ilk.
In 2028.
Preferably much sooner.

Others can help. But only AOC has the guts, clarity and integrity to lead us all out of this mess 🗽⚖️✊👼

Awesome news just now

A very good first step Allianz ...

Elbit Systems is utterly untouchable now.
Keir Starmer needs to know this
And needs to stop giving them our tax money
BREAKING: Allianz stop insuring Israel's biggest weapons company, Elbit Systems.

This 🎉WIN after intense pressure from the movement. #BoycottBloodyInsurance continues to call for orgs to boycott Allianz as they continue to insure F-35 suppliers and other deadly companies.

Every year: nice 'signing-off-now' messages🎄
from 'susty professionals', taking a long break?

Our Earth: dying; many sat by Her bedside🌍
the activist, love-led, unpaid, justice community
has no time off

I know this sounds harsh, but life and death can be?

My 1970s: being groomed for The Establishment📈
1980s: enjoying the privileges (unaware, then)🏅
1990s: becoming a dad: questioning everything;
-my best professional efforts mean diddly-squat?
2000s: a time for unlearning, for activism: rebellion⌛
2020: fuck we've lost this! 🌍 Game-over, kids: is-it?

Let's sue Fascism's orange boy-child for $100B ?
The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

In a single generation we built the internet - an advance that has given us the ability to learn anything. 📖

But we still can't seem to learn that promoting polluters is self-destructive. 🤔

Eight Palestine Action activists are being left to die in prison – all without even facing trial.

We must force the government to act, before it’s too late ⬇️

This is obscene. Why can't other politicians say that?

The 25 richest families are collectively $358.7 billion richer than a year ago, with a combined fortune totaling $2.9 trillion.

Please watch.
I *almost* feel sorry for this well-paid Trump-fascist apologist
The long awkward pause(s) are quite 'telling'.. no?
GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing

BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?

GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

THOMPSON: What does that mean?
