Nancy Pelosi claiming she's running because she 'needed to be able to still raise significant money' is the nail in the dem coffin for me. I will not donate a penny to them this cycle. The only place Pelosi is going to get money from is her corporate masters, and there is enough of that money in US politics already. Fuck this #Corporatocracy. I wish there was a viable third party.

@madomado Um, I don't trust #TEPCO or the government of #Japan. TEPCO has LIED for years about radiation levels. What makes you think they've changed their ways? #TEPCOLies #ExxonLied #Corporatocracy

How Ron DeSantis Let Billionaires Destroy Florida | More Perfect Union
Florida Governor and U.S. presidential candidate Ron DeSantis has raked in millions of dollars—and even a golf simulator—from wealthy corporate interests. At the same time, he’s stripped protections from renters, let insurance & utility companies hike rates, and cut taxes on the wealthy. Jason Garcia exposes his real record.

What Were We Thinking? The Top 10 Most Dangerous Ads

A look back at 10 colossally painful advertisements.

by Hunter Oatman-Stanford

"While some faulty campaigns were merely the victims of evolving scientific knowledge, many blatantly ignored facts in their race for the #dollar, using so-called experts to promote products terrible for public health, like #cigarettes. Revered professionals like doctors and scientists routinely told us precisely the wrong things to do, as they are likely still doing today."

“How ChatGPT might be able to help the world's poorest and the organisations that work with them”

I see the United Nations continues to be the favoured PR agency for Silicon Valley.

So Tesla—at the behest of Elon Musk—made their cars lie about driving range then lied about that too.

Is anyone surprised?

This isn’t one bad apple. This is what passes for “clever” in Silicon Valley.

And we trust our lives to the algorithms written by these assholes?

These muppets aren’t geniuses. They’re sociopaths and con men. Any they’re destroying human rights, democracy, and even our whole damn habitat.

4/4

The PM confirmed Policy Exchange helped draft laws targeting climate activists, as first revealed by openDemocracy.

@sarahjamielewis we can bring that back together...

@vantablack 's #FediPact [ https://fedipact.online ] and @aral 's #Web0Manifesto [ https://web0.small-web.org ] are just the first steps to end the #GAFAM-ruled #corporatocracy of the #Interwebz!

Criticising the Irish Data Protection Commission and Big Tech to become illegal in Ireland if this bill passes.

This is not a drill.

This must be stopped.

While most people know that there is a world #war by proxy going on at present, in #Ukraine, many do not know that there is another one also under way; between those with large amounts of money and those without. #auspol #corporatocracy https://blotreport.com/2023/06/17/the-second-current-world-war-part-1/

Whenever someone tells you that the climate crisis is a personal responsibility issue, show them this:

https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2017/jul/10/100-fossil-fuel-companies-investors-responsible-71-global-emissions-cdp-study-climate-change

The climate crisis is a billionaires crisis, a trillion-dollar corporations crisis, a capitalism crisis, a systemic inequality crisis.

Het Chemcoursbericht herinnert mij aan de asbestfabriek die mensen decennia onbeschermd liet werken, met medeweten van de overheid, terwijl de gevaren allang bekend waren. Zie deze Andere Tijden:

"Dat de overheid niet genoeg stappen ondernam kwam mede door de grote druk van de asbest industrie. Hoe ver de macht van de industrie reikte, blijkt uit een voorlichtingsblad dat in 1971 is uitgegeven door het ministerie van Sociale Zaken en Volksgezondheid. De inhoud werd grotendeels door de industrie gedicteerd, het woord kanker kwam in het gehele blad niet voor." Parallelen met Covid19-beleid?

Government by the few and for the few. Limiting or eliminating women's rights.. Hmmm. Kinda sounds like fascism is already here. 🤔 GREAT article.

In what environmentalists called a "catastrophic limitation", the shitty fucking joke of what we call the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to sharply limit the EPA’s ability to protect wetlands.

A conservative majority held that the agency’s authority under the Clean Water Act covered only wetlands connected to larger bodies of water.

Even better than mouse movers or anything else: to always remain green on Teams and to force your computer to stay awake, go to your calendar, click 'Meet now' and start a meeting with yourself. Keep it running as long as you need to (keep an eye on it though, to make sure the connection doesn't get dropped during the course of the day. If so, just start another meeting with yourself).

Calls can still come in, too. And don't forget to turn your status back to Available when you do this-- your status will default to red/in meeting until you do.

The irony isn't lost on me that if we ever did have some kind of physical conflict with China where trade stopped, companies here would be fucked, since everything's made there with cheap, often suicidal laborers. I guarantee you that's why it hasn't already happened. War only barely kept in check by corporate greed sounds about right.

Ford and Tesla teaming up, eh. A legacy of garbage versus some slightly newer garbage we more recently learned about.

Introduction post? I'm not much for them. I don't like ones that intersperse hashtags. Here's mine.

I'm an anarchosocialist in the USA. I've felt this way since my teens, I'm in my 40s now. If anything, I'm getting MORE left/progressive as I get older. I'm about helping people. Redistributing wealth. Taking it from hoarding fucks that make everyone else suffer. We all know it, but we need to DO things about it. Spreading information helps.

That's why I'm here. To try and not bitch too much about day to day drama or the fascist demagogues in power, but to also hopefully give useful, practical ideas to free yourself more.

And also to recognize the cool stuff on Earth--nature, everything else. Buckle up.
