Believe it or not, there's already a mechanism in place for the federal government to seize and appropriate the assets of billionaires and redistribute them for the public good. SCOTUS accidentally created it with one of its worst decisions of the 21st century, Kelo v. New London.

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Drug War Veteran Patch. The only draft I'll support is one for the war on drugs. On the side of drugs. And the soldiers need to be well supplied.

For my whole life, the "boomer" generation has been "_kicking_the_can_ down_the_road_" at best, if not outright obfuscating and denying their culpability, led by the fossil fuel heavies. Some are still at it worse than ever... Might-makes-right believers don't "get" living lightly.

Just so we're clear -- the law Israel just passed mandating death by hanging for Palestinians is apartheid.

It. Is. Apartheid.

Israel does not punish Israelis who kill Palestinians. Instead, Israel has illegally detained more than 10,000 Palestinians, including 1000 children, without charge or conviction. These are hostages held without access to counsel in concentration camps.

This. Is. Apartheid. Any politician or journalist who cannot acknowledge that is complicit. Period.

#OtD 1 Apr 1982 oil company Exxon made a private report on CO2. It showed burning fossil fuels would cause global warming which may be irreversible and could be detectable by 1995. They then spent $31m to spread false propaganda claiming the opposite https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8039/exxon-greenhouse-effect-report

Thanks Bob!

"Under the new law, the cameras can’t be used for immigration enforcement or tracking protected activities like free speech. They also can’t collect data near protected health care or immigration facilities. Their use is also prohibited around schools, courts, food banks and places of worship."

I have worked on over 10,000 turbine locations in over 200 wind farm sites across the US. Renewables are the pure capitalization of energy cost, a predictable, insurable capital investment with zero speculative consumable cost. Which is why speculators, as well as oil and coal producers, are desperate to stop it. There is no way to game the wind market with false shortages.

Cis people sometimes demand #trans people rigourously define what "gender" means and explain what drives us to embody a gender other than the one assigned to us at birth. If we can't do that, they say, how can they believe us?

But trans people shouldn't have to be philosophers and psychologists all wrapped up into one to have our experiences believed. 1/
