Xi is pronounced Shi
Xitter is the perfect name for Elon's disastrous hellsite.

Feed every child. It removes any stigma about who gets free lunch. It helps those older students who may already be working to help support the family. For a country that has the resources we have, there is no excuse for hungry kids.
Opinion: A radical idea: Just give kids lunch-

@TonyStark And breakfast too. Every child that goes to school should have the opportunity to receive 2 hot meals every day.
@randahl #AgentOrange is a smart idiot, whose primary talent is rallying, infecting dumb idiots, with dreams of White Privilege and Supremacy.
But he’s not smart enough to talk his way out of what he did. “Ok, that shit didn’t stick, try this! It was Antifa! It wasn’t an insurrection! No, it was bring your bat to the Capitol Day! It was staged by the FBI! Deep State, Deep State! And I was not involved in any way! I’m like Jesus on the cross! You evangelicals know what I mean!!”😤😖😱🤠🤡💩

I absolutely love this. On Truth Social, Donald Trump now promotes the conspiracy theory, that the US government staged the January 6 attack.
So somehow the deep state was able to get Trump to rally the crowd, fire them up with lies and instruct them to go down to The Capitol and “fight like hell”.
I have to know more — was Trump a victim of hypnosis?

Ron DeSantis makes Alabama Governor George Wallace look like Tom Hanks.

Tubs thinks he’s still playing football. He cannot comprehend there’s no football, only the lives of military personnel and their families. https://www.al.com/politics/2023/07/military-spouses-deliver-petition-to-tuberville-on-inappropriate-and-unpatriotic-hold-on-nominations.html

I’ve gotten quite a few follows lately from folks with private accounts. I will never request to follow someone as I believe it defeats the whole purpose of social media.
@br00t4c This is a good article, but money, economic systems, carpet baggers and millionaires, billionaires who think they deserve to live like Kings stand in the way.
A particular political party in the US has and wants to reduce taxes for the wealthy by millions and more instead of using it for the greater good, oh like fighting global warming, while they throw you a dollar and expect you to cheer them. And make no mistake there are a lot of dummies cheering. Can you tell I’m a pessimist? 🥵

Cascading Climate Disasters Call for Resolve, Not Despair
https://www.nrdc.org/bio/manish-bapna/cascading-climate-disasters-call-resolve-not-despair
@voight This is very possible as we stare into the environmental abyss after decades of warnings, and today with countries around the globe we are still unable to address this crisis because of our economic systems that apparently value wealth more than human life and survival. I predict what it will take is food shortages, death by the millions, a general breakdown and then we are reduced back to small tribes, we’ll get a second chance or we’ll just continue to be selfish and repeat the cycle.

@Huntn00 the level of grist going on in our society is probably worse than the late 1800s and early 1900s in the days of the #RobberBarons except with the added twist that we’re all going down the ecological shitter, and apparently, headlong into oblivion. Which the earth will survive, but we will not.
@voight “Recycled plastic” was the successful scheme to sanitize plastic as a petroleum product. Yeah, yeah, that’s it, we’ll recycle them! Except as you say they are collected as recyclables, but the joke is on us as these items are dumped in the landfill or burned. 😡

@Huntn00 one other thing I will say, is that, in my work in the public sector, and seeing the goings-on that I do, I’ve noticed that most of the recycle that people think they’re putting into the proper bins, goes right into the trash, and isn’t recycled at all

@Huntn00 I’m reading a really interesting yet enraging book called They are the Plunderers’s. It’s very hard for me to want to finish because it makes me so goddamn angry how far down we’ve gone in the society. But it is an excellent book.

@Huntn00 I think what needs to be done, at least one of the multiple things that needs to be done, is we need to get rid of private equity firms, and we need to revamp our particular form of #VampireCapitalism.

Instead of companies I think that these fossil fueled extreme weather events should be named after the people who helped to make them happen like for example, the Rex Tillerson Heat Wave and the Frank Luntz Flood.
@ProPublica Are the Ref States using these funds as intended? 🤔
