Dare ObasanjoI just deleted my Twitter account.
I saw a viral pro-H*tler tweet on my timeline with 66,000 likes and 9.5 million views. That was enough for me to ensure my posts don’t contribute any value to that garbage dump.

Standing athwart history yelling hey, can we please get moving again. Former techie, occasional novelist, now building systems for research, persuasion, and creating award winning ads. Listening + art + science.
Jamison FoserIf I’d suggested telling America that Bob Dole liked dogs and ice cream and cool cars and wore aviators my boss woulda thrown a stapler at my head
Was in a focus group yesterday with swing/noncollege women under 30. Tons of cynicism, anti-government, anti-everything, both sides, all politicians are crooks, etcetc.
Then came across this in an old deck -
"The people in Washington don't understand places like this. People like us, they're suffering while people in Washington are making profits. I think they're looking up for themselves and that's it.”
and it’s a DEM ad!! We just need to stop punching ourselves.
Dr. Alexandre Santerne 🌍In case you missed this chart, it shows the predicted increase of #CO2 and #temperature in the #atmosphere (black lines) compared to current observations (red & blue lines).
The prediction was made back in 1982 by ExxonMobil in private documents.
They knew since 1970s that #FossilFuels would lead to #ClimateChange with "dramatic environmental effects before the year 2050.”
Did they care ? Obviously no !

Yoko's Asterisk 🏳️⚧Hey, if you're in Washington state, please call Senator Cantwell's office. According to this article (paywall-free link), Cantwell is one of the people pushing hardest for KOSA, which Republicans have admitted will be used to drive LGBTQIA+ content off the internet. (Everyone else, also please call your Senators!)
Bread and CircusesAt least three groups — "Fridays for Future", "Fight Fossil Fuels", and "End Fossil Fuels USA" — are joining together to organize mass climate protests and strikes in September.
Here is part of their message...
__________________________
Our world is in crisis. Extreme weather caused by the climate emergency is wreaking havoc in our communities and ecosystems across the globe, causing social insecurity and harm to people.
The biggest cause of this crisis is fossil fuels — coal, oil, and gas.
The fossil fuel industry is driving a predatory and destructive economic system that harms people and the planet, fuelling climate break down.
Fossil fuels are bad for the climate, for ecosystems, for our people, for our health, for our democracies, and for our economies.
The science is clear: what the world needs now is a rapid and just transition to an energy and economic system that is efficient, fair, and universal. A system based on clean energy sources and produced with respect for nature and the sovereign rights of Indigenous peoples.
This September, as world leaders discuss climate action at the United Nations in New York, people on every continent will join the largest-ever globally coordinated action and together WE WILL end fossil fuels.
The climate crisis is escalating but so is the global movement for climate justice. We need all hands on deck to win this fight.

They've spent $1B/yr trying to convince people to be economically conservative and only got it to 61-39. And this is with VERY friendly question wording.
Right wing donors should ask for a refund of their money.
