If we have to choose between a future where we slowly cede our quality of life to US capitalists while debasing ourselves, or one where we rip off the bandaid and tell them to go fuck themselves, I'm not having a hard time choosing the latter.

A global shift to plant-based diets could free an area of land as big as the US, China, the EU and Australia combined: restored ecosystems could draw down CO2, making our diets carbon negative. Average food emissions per person would be reduced from about 2,000 kg CO2eq/year to -160 kg CO2eq/year.

Agree 💯 With Robert De Niro......

"An elder is someone who is older than olive trees" is about asking why does the Israeli state harm olive trees, and reflecting on how I came to loathe state borders as someone who grew up in Lebanon to a Palestinian grandfather -- plus my love of trains. www.hauntologies.net/p/an-elder-i...

A Trump regime loyalist and terrorist yells at anti-impunity protestors in the US, as Trump regime forces stand behind him proudly: "a storm is here", "no one can stop what is coming", and "We executed one of you yesterday, do you understand that" #3E

We're seeing staggering levels of cowardice from Irish and European governments at the moment. We are genuinely fucked

While *technically* what Chris Jackson says is factual, this take requires nuance, context, & logical thinking. Some of you may hate me for saying this but I feel facts & honesty are important especially these days. Joe Biden directly aided Israel in it's genocide against the Palestinian people.

What just happened ... Comedy: Jamie Kaler

Mamdani weighing in about #Venezuela.

Salvador Allende of Chile became the first socialist to be democratically elected as president of a South American country in 1970, promising education for all, land reform, public ownership of key industries and an end to extreme inequality. Guess what happened next. 🧵 #Venezuela

Regime change in Venezuela has partially failed as top officials from the Maduro regime remain in power, including all governors and military nationwide. Venezuela is currently in a state of war, preparing for the probability of a 2nd round of US attacks. #venezuelainvasion

The great isolationist ‘America First’ GOP President Donald Trump has in less than a year in office declared himself the ‘owner’ of Gaza and the ‘ruler’ of Venezuela.

Russia is a rogue State. Israel is a rogue State. The US is a rogue State.

Vice President Delcy Rodríguez has taken power in Venezuela, she demands the return of Maduro, has ordered all armed forces to fight the United States, and calls the lack of defence at the capital a national embarrassment. #VenezuelaInvasion

Shame Shame Shameful America! Just another unhinged Despot WARING Invader Nation, No Better than Putins Russia! The US is bombing Venezuela and kidnapped its President, because it can’t hold its own pedophilic president accountable. Such Deep Evil. #TrumpIsANationalDisgrace #TrumpTheTyrant #Trump
