It's not that the Republicans and the Democrats are the same...obviously. But for decades - since Clinton - the Dems have sided with neoliberal economics, just like their Republican counterparts. 1/
The ruins of the Temple of Jupiter, taken in the late 18th century, overlooking a stretch Lebanon. It has been emblazoned with the 1970s-era logo for the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. Before it stands a figure taken from an early 1900s illustrated bible, depicting a Hebrew priest making an offering to the golden calf at the foot of Mt Sinai. The priest's head has been replaced with the head of Milton Friedman. The calf has been adorned with a golden top-hat and a radiating halo of white light.

It starts with a promise: to overthrow tyranny, dismantle an oppressive regime, and return power to the people. Sounds familiar? Enter Jolani, aka Ahmed al-Sharaa, a real life Napoleon from Orwell’s Animal Farm. ThreadđŸ§”

While MSM ignores the fact that Kurds have already set up a multi-ethnic true democracy in the northern third of Syria (now imperiled by Turkey's Erdogan) @MattBroomfield1 has written a must-read explainer. Read it & support Rojava at this critical time. shorturl.at/ae9QA

Will Kurds Survive in the New Syria?

The overthrow of Bashar al-Assad was met with widespread celebrations in Syria. But the situation is full of unknowns for the Kurdish population, with Turkish-backed militias massively expanding...

The ONLY thing that has ever reduced emissions have been recessions or crises that cause temporary crashes in the economy. The ONLY way out of this apocalypse is to destroy the capitalist economy completely and rebuild our collective survival based on mutual aid.

The world is so complex & the balance of life so fragile that we don’t even know much of the damage we’re doing to the web of life. We’re fools to think we can rip up this wondrous web & hold together our modern civilization with the plastic-metallic stitches of our technology.

Currently waiting for an apology from all the neoliberals who claimed that our current economy is compatible with net zero because it is naturally "dematerializing" due to the tech revolution...

Microsoft’s carbon emissions have increased 42% in 3 years, and electricity consumption has doubled due to the construction of new data centres to train AI. By next year, Microsoft will surpass the electricity use of Nigeria, a country of 213 million people. Criminal
