Trump is a disaster. No question about that. But our troubles did not begin with him.
Corporate Democrats are just as eager to sell us out and destroy everything for the sake of Business As Usual, Wall Street, and Big Oil.
Listen to the clip below from an interview Barack Obama gave last year.
He says climate change might be a problem, but we can handle it. Although there's no way now to keep global warming below 2°C, that shouldn’t be so bad. And if we work hard, we might be able to stay at around 3°C … but the important thing is, stop worrying! Don't complain about the system. Everything is under control.
This is absolutely criminal. That much extra heat will destroy modern civilization. Billions of people will die, along with millions of species of plants and animals going extinct. The world as we know it will end.
There still *could* be a way to prevent all that. But it requires system change. The end of capitalism. It requires #Degrowth.
And no one in a position of power wants to hear that.

#Trump fires #USAID #IG one day after blistering report
The WH fired the independent inspector general for the US Agency for International Development on Tues evening, a day after his office issued a blistering report assessing the impact of the Trump admin’s efforts to significantly curtail the agency’s mission.

BREAKING:
Jobs report shows a MAJOR SLOWDOWN in labor market since Trump announced tariffs in April.
We can now compare the first 6 months of Trump with the final 6 months of Biden, and it's no comparison.
Over a million jobs created under Biden, less than half that under Trump.

How does this protect your immigrant neighbors who are being raided by ICE? Does this rally help a transgender person maintain access to their gender-affirming medications?
Partly inspired by today's 50501 protests, I wrote some thoughts about how and where I think we should be using our energy in 2025: https://www.patreon.com/posts/stop-marching-on-121443258

At tribal colleges, scholarships funded by a USDA grant have been suspended amid the Trump administration’s widespread cost-cutting.
Now some students are facing their final weeks on campus.

“In Canada, a slew of apps has emerged with names such as “buy beaver”, “maple scan” and “is this Canadian” to allow shoppers to scan QR barcodes and reject US produce from alcohol to pizza toppings.”

I've been shushing people who say there won't be free #elections in the #USA anymore
#Cynicism leads to #prematureCapitulation: "if the #vote is corrupt, why vote"
Americans are lazy about voting as it is. Weak whiny "the sky is falling!" statements just because malicious intent exists is enough to make some give up
Besides, elections are controlled by the states
On that note (they won't succeed):

#Musk Seeks to Put $100M Directly Into #Trump *Political Operation*
#ElonMusk has signaled he wants to make donations not just to his own #superPAC, …but to an outside entity.
It is unheard-of for a WH staffer, even one w/*part-time* status, to make such large contributions to support the agenda of the boss. But there has never been someone in the direct employ of an admin like Musk, the world’s richest person, who is leading Trump’s #DOGE.

It's pretty absurd how incompetent the DOJ is under #Trump
Redacting names from perpetrators and especially Donald J. Trump was number 1 priority
The latest batch files exposes SO many victims by first- and last name, email and DOB
What the actually F is the DOJ doing..
#Duterte rode to power in the #Philippines with a "get tough" attitude on #drugs
What followed was degradation of #humanRights, institutional norms, and rule of law. Mass killings of "drug users" (read: anyone poor a cop could shoot on sketchy happenstance "evidence" to look like they were doing something)
Beyond my joy for #Filipinos with his arrest, I hope it's a harbinger for #Trump. If not an #ICC warrant, at least that "strong men" get comeuppance

#ICE Agent Charged in #Minnesota #Shooting Is #Arrested in Texas
Law enforcement officials from Minnesota & Texas on Friday arrested an #Immigration & Customs Enforcement agent accused of shooting a #Venezuelan immigrant this year & lying about it.
The agent, Christian Castro, 52, was arrested in Texas after investigators from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension tracked him down.

Migrants detained in Panama expressed fear of returning to their countries.
“They will execute me without hesitation,” one texted.
“I am LGBT. My country harass these people. I cannot live a normal life in my country,” said another.
With so many countries taking early steps to becoming #Electrostates rather than #Petrostates, will Trump's be the biggest #OilWar yet or is the larger war the #EndOfOil forever? We hit up Canada's best energy writer #MarkhamHislop for answers

Save the date: A federal judge is giving the #Trump admin until Monday to pay nonprofits and aid groups — including the Global Health Council and the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition — affected by Trump's order to freeze foreign assistance and shut down USAID.
WTF?
#Venezuela #oil proceeds are going into a private account in #Qatar that #US #Treasury cannot block. This can’t be legal.
Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.!'"
