The cost of #USAID cuts. Been waiting for this! So at least half a million dead. The real culprits aren't mentioned, though, like useful idiot #Trump or financier #PeterThiel.

Fascism is getting more and more accepted and greenwashed. Racist fearmongering is only for the weak.

What a US$ 345 million judgment means for Greenpeace - Greenpeace International A US court has just sided with fossil fuel pipeline giant Energy Transfer and ordered Greenpeace International and Greenpeace entities in the US to pay US$ 345 million.

So let’s be clear: this type of corporate bullying is designed to rob us of our rights and freedoms.Β 

But we will not be silenced.

The Kurds are good people. Look at Rojava, a haven of peace and democracy in a Syria that was all dictator chaos. I trust them and they do deserve their own nation!

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

Iran war: Redrawing the map of the Middle East, Israeli style? | The Bottom Line
YouTube video by Al Jazeera English Iran war: Redrawing the map of the Middle East, Israeli style? | The Bottom Line

Brilliant analysis by Vali Nasr. Scary, to be honest, this might end really badly...

"#Iran has outsmarted #USA."

Was it #Netanyahu that fooled #Trump into a "short war" while his aim is #MiddleEast domination? He's already aiming at #Sunni regimes once the #Shia have been put in place...

#USA is basically committing suicide. Is it #Putin behind it or is it more complex, that the #Maga fools have been lead into believing what "just happens" to be good for #Russia?

The special military operation of #Trump and #Israel makes it very clear they have left the world of democracy and ruled-based order. Now we indeed have to stand firm to prove that #democracy is the way, that following the laws is the way to a better life.

When what the dictators say makes sense then democracy has shurely failed! We need to get our shit together, clean out the dirtbags and raise our moral standing. This is shameful!

Global Energy Transition - Ternary Chart

Here's a really cool graph showing the energy sources of different parts of the world. I'd claim getting off fossil energy is the most important thing and here Brazil is leading, followed by India. And they lead because they never got addicted to fossils, never got above 60%.

Vail has also bought e.g. Andermatt in Switzerland. All that debt using fat money streams is not healthy. The best resorts, like Flims-Laaks, Feldis etc are owned by the commune; no blind chasing for easy money, just having a good time on the mountain.

Face blindness isn't well known and nor is its history. People with face blindness do *know* people - just not in the ways we are expected to!
