An important rule of thumb. If a revolt is a genuine revolt for the people, to increase the power of the people, global media will ignore and suppress it. If a revolt is organised and funded by US imperialism to overthrow an inconvenient or opposing govt, it will be everywhere.

This brilliant engineer figured out how to replace plastic bags, using water hyacinth, which is essentially an invasive, quick growing weed. It looks like, feels like and works like plastic, yet is good for the environment once it's life cycle is done. Why the hell hasn't this been implemented? All of these "climate" folks out here, yet nothing from them. Not to mention it could be a great way to get micro plastics within our packaging/containers. It's as if they want to harm us...

The day the internet went live we may have set society on a course to global totalitarianism... x.com/WallStreetApes/status/…

This looks like a deliberate extermination of a people. The destruction is almost impossible for my brain to process even though i am looking directly at it & see it clearly. Our government actually funded this. Our money & resources are continually going to create hellscapes abroad while our country decays & rots internally at an increasing rapid pace. I’m pretty sure this is a clear indication that our empire is quickly ending & we’re acting irrationally violent like all ending empires. Voting will not change this, the Democrats have rigged their own primaries since 2016, so we aren’t even allowed the illusion of a choice. We only are allowed to vote for the puppet of the Oligarch’s machine, and things keep getting worse & worse. The next cycle will be no different. I don’t have an answer or solution except for one I know will most likely never happen. Workers uniting to rise up & shut down the Oligarchy we live in , bring it to its knees, and start over. I don’t know how to bring that about, but i’ll join with anyone who does.

The government is preparing to seize homes and land using eminent domain for the construction of a Data Center in Coweta County, Georgia This American’s childhood home is being “taken by force by Georgia Power. Homeowners in this county do not have a choice” It affects over 330 private properties. Georgia Power says it will negotiate purchases and easements and use eminent domain Georgia Power claims its to strengthen the grid for the growing energy demand in Georgia (due to many new data centers) The lines are widely linked to Project Sail, a massive proposed hyperscale data center campus that will span 829 acres

Israeli Fascist troopers arrested 5 Palestinian children today while they were gathering wild plants in the West Bank. The children did nothing wrong, committed no crimes, and were arrested for simply trying to exist under Israel’s illegal occupation.
