 Why does Louis DeJoy still have a fucking job at the Postal Service. WTF.

POTUS can’t fire him. It’s run by a board. I don’t remember what Biden installed there. 
 @4df5feae Since El Niño lifts temps 0.2C I’ve heard, are the anomalies *still* crazy if it was subtracted? 
 @e086f94e 

I remember around  iphone 5 it used to work.

Now I am convinced it’s trying to drive me insane

 @62a04c04 I know the question for this!
What is the Federalist Society, the Koch Network and project 2025?  Everything about the Powell Memo and the Koch Network is warmed over Nazi propaganda. Warmed over Bircher insanity straight from the mind of Fred Koch. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=issmDdjBa5w

I guess it’s a good time to remind people that platforms cannot magically make evil go away. These are our communities and our people to protect. 
 @134318c2 Yes. 

Wouldn't it be nice if the people creating VALUE were rewarded rather than MOOCHERS and LEECHES?

The CREATORS of value need to just stop being taken advantage of.

I am sure the libertarians running Pfizer and Moderna will agree.

Taiwan blasts Elon Musk for asserting that it is 'an integral part of China' | DW News

Time for Taiwan to ditch #X 

Who the fuck made him a representative of this country? Strip him of his citizenship and deport him.

In fact ship Murdoch and Thiel as well.

 Yes, i am a guy living in the #Netherlands and I worry about #Trump becoming president of the US ... 
 @0c09c8a8 100% I urge all people in the EU to understand the danger US conservatives represent. They are without any hyperbole, despots, funded by billionaires who hate any form of government or government they don’t control. The rich reject the idea of prosperous population engaged in their own governance. 

If you know your continent’s history, you know well what that is.

More particularly, Musk is part of an anarcho-capitalist billionaire group. They are pro Russia in the sense they they share a common agenda: destroy the US and rule on its ashes.

After the Floods: The Beginning of People's Hardships

17 min video

Pretty gritty coverage of what a flood aftermath is like. The death and disease that emerge from it.

Multi-generational families wiped out, their homes and farmland destroyed; the survivors have nothing to live off of nor any fields to till. It’s all been destroyed.

Typhoons have affected major agricultural regions of China.This is will be a long term disaster.

The idea that governments can only fuck up is contrasted with the state of affairs in the private sector these days. In particular the massive number of privatized public utilities. They are oh so very competent  fucking everything they touch

It’s quite obvious that a competent government is far less expensive.

The far right, asked us everywhere to surrender our sovereignty to the wealthiest people. And we’ve seen the result. Any questions?
