@elonjet So, with this one flight, from Rome to Austin, his jet produced 6 times the carbon footprint that my car has produced in total over the four years I've had it. Granted, I can't drive to Rome, but my car has covered 47,000 miles in that time, or 8 times this distance.
I have had to fight for months to be able to survive from bad people and try to find a safe home, I have not had much luck, I have suffered a lot these last few weeks and I have not been able to eat or sleep well, please could someone help me get the funds to Can I spend Christmas safely?
@israel@palestine Noha Tarnopolsky: « Preliminary IDF investigation of the friendly fire killing of 3 Israeli hostages in Gaza indicates escaped captivity & were walking down a Suja'iyya alley, hands raised…and brandishing a white flag. 🏳️ IDF mistakenly identified them as terrorists. Against standing orders, 2 were shot. The 3rd hostage survived & ran into a nearby structure, shouting HELP! in Hebrew. The IDF commander thought it was a hoax and also shot him dead. https://nitter.net/ntarnopolsky/status/1735987457705816249?s=46&t=zQu0l2rebw1qkMx4YEvA_A
@TheConversationUS@blackmastodon There are sooo many white Dahl fans who are about to leap to Wonka's defense it's not even funny. (I say this from my perch as a Gene Wilder fan.)
P.S. to The Conversation: I tagged the actual #BlackMastodon group, and I hope that was your intent.
My one quibble with that piece about progressives moving to the right is that Glenn Greenwald was never on our side. I remember tangling with him over his reactionary views on immigration in the early aughts. He only got labeled a lefty when he opposed Bush’s surveillance and torture programs.
And right there is the problem; ideological purity and partisanship before justice. Divide and conquer works. The rulers can organize camps via proxies then pit the camps against each other. And the rubes are none the wiser as they tilt at windmills.
