Watching the western worldβand my white (former) friendsβexcuse and IGNORE a genocide of a predominantly Muslim population has made me realise something. No matter how much I criticise and feel estranged from the Muslim culture I was raised in, my solidarity lies with them. 1/

I want to past the whole text of what @GretaThunberg said at COP31, because it is so profound and true.
'Greta Thunberg has said that the planet is βnot dying, it is being killed and we know by whoβ in a stark intervention at the Cop31 climate talks in Antalya, Turkey.
βIt is being killed by the very same people thought to come to our rescue,β Thunberg, the Swedish climate activist, said. βNo one is coming to our rescue.
βWhen our human rights are being threatened by states and other institutions, itβs our duty to stand up and be the adult in the room and fight for everyoneβs human rights.β
Thunberg spoke at a packed press gathering in the Cop31 venue alongside other activists from Nepal, Australia, Palestine and Canada. All of them lambasted governmentsβ inaction on the climate crisis and called for the end of Turkish energy shipments to Israel, which Thunberg said was βdirectly feeling the genocide in Palestine.β
βWe are heading towards a future of more genocides and more ecocides and the complete compromise of our basic rights and where basic necessities become luxuries,β Thunberg said. βItβs more clear than ever in spaces like these that the situation could not be any less under control, the planet is not dying, it is being killed.β'

Now ask, why so few other if any people with a platform, are speaking the unvarnished truth like this.

Amazon is building a gas fueled data center in Texas that will pump out 33 MILLION TONS of COβ every year.
It would take the average American 2 MILLION YEARS to produce that much COβ.
All so trillion-dollar tech companies can build out AI slop machines.
Replying to @JucheAffirmer
the US ravaged through every democracy on south america on the 60s till 80s, and middle east was absolutely demolished by the US military too, and still continues to be.
that was the price for the US citizen lifestyle, that and it's cruel silence about their warcrimes

It's much worse than that, actually. The middle class was a 50 year fluke that was dependent BOTH on a fear of communism and a material superabundance from chewing through the natural resources and fossil fuels of an entire planet. Once the resources are gone, it's over.

AOC is what *everyone* becomes who enters the Democratic Party machine: a weapon against genuine class struggle and anti-war politics.
This is her throwing support behind AIPAC-owned Hakeem Jeffries. And she'll feed you a word salad to divert attention from her opportunism.
βMore than a million people signed a petition asking @HouseDemocrats to not elect @RepJeffries speakerβ will that carry weight?β
@AOC reiterates that nobody is running against Jeffries, telling @JulianAndreone βitβs not a race right nowβ so 40+ Dems opposing is unlikely

Israel is banking on one thing: if you didnβt give a fuck when it was sniping, bombing, vaporising and starving Palestinian children, youβre hardly going to develop a conscience now that itβs drowning them.

Unironically, this actually explains why the economy is in shambles right now.
They've been paying executives astronomical rates while paying workers starvation wages, leading to no one being able to afford anything.
Then they manipulate us, saying higher wages cause inflation.

Anyone who leaves the flooded concentration camp for higher land is instantly murdered by Israelis, even if they stay in Gaza.
The IDF publicly declared most of Gaza (the parts less likely to flood) a designated kill zone.

This is a nonstarter. Voting is your job. Youβre supposed to be in the chamber when voting starts. If you canβt meet the most basic aspect of the job you signed up for, itβs clearly not a good fit and you should be let go.
Like Rep. Stansbury, I was stuck behind the same police escort blocking the Capitol when Republicans closed the vote. I would have voted no and believe strongly that Pete Hegseth should be impeached.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
415 members voted on the motion. Reporting indicates the police-escorted bus incident occurred 3.9 miles from the Capitol with no blockage preventing access to the building. The schedule was known since November 9.

as texas attorney general, ken paxton offered a plea deal to waco pedophile that required him to only serve one day in prison
the "justice system" is just a slave trade that traffics black and brown people into private prison labor camps
Family members of a Texas teen crashes out in court as judge sentences him to 25 years in prison for robbing a convenience store.
Judge Raquel West sharply criticizes 18-year-old Caden James Fontenette before handing down the sentence
βThere was a time some years ago that there really wasn't even a question. State's attorneys were recommending youthful offenders probation. Let's give everybody an opportunityβ West said.
βYou don't have a good likelihood of being successful if I were to put you on probation, I'm going to sentence you to a term of 25 years.β

Hegseth won't be impeached because 11 Democrats didn't show up. But that's not the whole story. Hakeem Jeffries wasn't just an incompetent leader, he told members to "vote their conscience." That's a greenlight to miss the vote. Why? Israeli lobby wants pro-war Hegseth in place.

Your landlord is taking half your salary, the government is spending your taxes on wars, your boss is pocketing the profits you and your colleagues are laboring for, but instead of fighting them y'all want to fight immigrants and trans people because you are bootlicking cowards.

Iβve been saying this over and over again but this is part of the reason why the youth is βanti-socialβ
You give them NOTHING to express themselves and let steam off, canβt watch videos, canβt listen to music, canβt send funny memes to each other
They donβt have any spaces outside that they donβt need to spend money on or that they wonβt have the cops called on them JUST FOR EXISTING
You donβt let them talk to their friends online and be stupid kids instead of just informing the parents on monitoring their kids online activities
You make them feel like criminals so they act on it, what do you expect?
Not to mention the HORRIBLE Mental Health care this country has, I and many other have been victims of how bad the system is, you simply do not care about our mental state
For a country who says they are βfocused on protecting the kidsβ you also do very little for those who are found to actually commit crimes against them be so fr

AWFUL. A family pleaded with ICE to deport their ill father so he could get out of detention. They even offered to pay for plane tickets. But ICE kept him jailed for two months after he accepted removal, his health deteriorating daily. He died hours after he was finally deported.
Ayaz Ahmed, 61, had no criminal record and had several diagnosed chronic health conditions when his children say he was detained, deported, and died mysteriously over the summer. abc7chicago.com/post/donald-β¦

Jeffries is threatening to withhold committee assignments from anyone who does not pledge their support for him to become speaker. So a loyalty pledge β sound familiar? Havenβt we had enough of governing by threat?? Isnβt this exactly what we just voted against?
