I am convinced these ruinous appointments are meant to make unacceptable choices, acceptable. But if they slide, and help wreck our country, Trump’s cabal will consider that a win, too. We don’t have to accept this. But we will. We’ve been rolling over since SCOTUS made George Bush a @potus.

It's not us. It's them.

Private jet flights have soared in recent years, with the resulting climate-heating emissions rising by 50 percent, a comprehensive global analysis has revealed.

The assessment tracked more than 25,000 private jets and almost 19 million flights between 2019 and 2023. It found almost half the jets traveled less than 500 kilometers (311 miles) and 900,000 were used “like taxis” for trips of less than 50 kilometers (31 miles).

Private flights, used by just 0.003 percent of the world’s population, are the most polluting form of transport. The researchers found that passengers in larger private jets caused more CO2 emissions in an hour than the average person did in a year.

Will Americans stand for being sick, poor, and oppressed by federal troops? Will they stand for a torrents of pollution and corruption? This is going to be a close race between Republican Fascist efforts to cripple us and a rebellion against their rule.
@Strandjunker Hundreds of thousands? I think you're grossly underestimating these monsters.
@MeanwhileinCanada I've experienced what you speak of in coastal N.S. Un.. be.. lievable.

Last week a man stood on a street carrying an AR-15. It’s the sort of weapon that people who want to massacre schoolchildren most prefer to use.

The place he chose to stand was a pickup stop for an elementary school bus as the children got on.

@Sundae_Gurl You couldn't pay me enough to move away from MA. I keep telling people, we're in a bubble up here, we don't have so many of the problems plaguing the rest of the country. In part due to the strictest gun laws in the country.
