Translation: We billionaires need massive amounts of electricity for our AI to make us trillionaires and put people out of work, and we thank you for being able to convince so many dopes into paying a lot more on their electric bills over the next few years to make it happen.

Public strongly backs aim of 30% of land and sea set aside for nature, poll finds Survey of eight countries finds 82% of people support 30x30 biodiversity target, as progress stalls on protected areas

So glad to see someone finally pointing to the elephant in the room with the big neon sign that says ELEPHANT hanging above it and saying, "Hey, that's a fucking elephant!" in The Press; very surprised to see it in the WaPo of all places. Are editors breaking ranks or what?

And all it takes is one WaPo op-ed, or one "smart" person opining on it. The imprimatur is important for people to accept because of the unthinking confidence in authority and existing systems. "They can't be fascist. America is a democracy." So the fascist actions become acceptable.

I’m crying, this is so funny

WEAPONIZED MANSPLAINING FOR ESPIONAGE ☠️☠️

4) Redirect those transfers to a state escrow account.
5) Sue me

If you’re protesting this weekend, know your rights.

Is not tomorrow, boy, the ides of March?

Handmade zine: As we know, the Grossmont Union High School District Board of Trustees is a pack of buffoons. The good news: Three of the Board members have to run for re-election in 2026! Let's tell voters all about these absolute clowns!

Vote out the failed CPA— Robert Shield Cartoon with speech bubble: “Has anyone seen my calculator” Tell voters in Santee + Lakeside about Robert's budget lies! Next page: Vote out Gary C. Woods Cartoon speech bubble: “The C" stands for Corrupt!” → Gary misuses public school funds WHILE he profits from his private school ousiness. Tell voters in El Cajon about Gary’s little plan!

And let's toss out — Jim "Smelly" Kelly (Drawing of a fish with Xs for eyes and wavy stink lines) Jim’s greatest hits: L firing librarians. → firing teachers. → hiring his buddies! → Firing school psychologists. Speech bubble: “WTF” Tell voters in: Jamul, Alpine, Lakeside, Harbinson Canyon

Front and back of the zine: Front: Operation: Kick out the school board goons Three cartoon faces, one with a speech bubble that says: “We Stink!” Another says: “me too” Back, typed: Please note: - Trustee Chris Fite is doing fine. Give him a high five if you see him. Trustee Scott Eckhart is a spineless little twerp though. We'll get to replace him in the 2028 election. No one actually knows what Gary's middle initial "C" stands for, so you're free to brainstorm your own fitting C word. The illustration of Jim Kelly is an artist's rendering. We cannot confirm if flies have gathered in Jim's putrescence at this time. Jim Kelly lists his business phone number at Allstate on his public GUHSD profile. Be polite and DO NOT call him at 619-562-9199 to share your thoughts about his failures on the Board of Trustees. Come on, guys.

This protest zine was made by a student in the Grossmont Union High School District and passed out at the board meeting on Tuesday.

The kids are going to be alright.

EPA administrator announces huge rollback of environmental regulations Lee Zeldin said he will reconsider a list of core EPA policies, including emissions standards for vehicles and the finding that serves as the basis for addressing climate change.

As long as I live, I will never understand how “it should be easier for multi-billion-dollar corporations to dump poison in the water my children drink” became popular politics with half the country.

Reminded that Butler was not a prophet, rather she was someone who paid attention. She constantly read newspapers & academic research articles on cults, climate change, racism & sexism. She saw the patterns & signs & tried to warn us.

One thing I'm fucken sick of hearing is that people on the poverty line "don't want handouts."

Well, the rich take hand outs. Maybe they're rich bc they were offered handouts. Maybe they're rich bc they take them.

This "shame in receiving free money" for the poor but not the rich makes me SO MAD

Alaska is reviving a brutal program to gun down up to 80% of wolves & other predators from helicopters. Officials claim it helps moose & caribou, but even state research says otherwise.

This slaughter is inhumane & unjust.

Unlike traditional tariffs, an oligarch tax targets those who benefit the most from globalization: billionaires and the corporations they control

It would impose high costs on the de facto current US administration

A # of problems would have been greatly reduced by white men simply liking themselves instead of measuring their self-worth by the oppression of others.

The ideology of white supremacy & patriarchy is a collective self-esteem failure that prevented many people from building a self-worth on merit.

this encapsulates what all of this administration is about. they aren’t “accidentally” destroying departments. they are intentionally destroying the government so they can become the government. the only issue they have with the system is they don’t profit from it or control it
