The Big Q&A With Ruth Ben-Ghiat, by @GeorgeTakei https://open.substack.com/pub/thinkbigpicture/p/big-questions-answers-ruth-ben-ghiat
Excellent and disturbing reporting this morning on #NPR about the sad history of #ClimateChange and our inability to cope. First there was decades of the denial, but now recognized as a real issue, threatening us and the planet, we face hard core resistance to any effective solution, even death threats to scientists who tell it like it is. Locked into our economies, and refusal to face reality, makes me very sad. I think we have fucked ourselves. 😢
@RollingStone The final #GOP straw for the #GOP dropped in 2016 when they managed to elect a professional crook and sociopath as POTUS. Their bid to hold power and push effectively a death wish for the Democratic Republic known as the #USA. 😢
Donald Trump is considering making a trip to the Capitol amid calls from loyalists within the lower chamber for him to assume the position of House Speaker. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-considering-first-capitol-trip-jan-6-1234841398/
Look at the balls on this traitorous piece of shit! #TrumpForLifeInPrison

Hillary Clinton likened devoted supporters of Trump to cult members and warned they may need "deprogramming," in an interview with CNN. https://t.co/cnJxS5T9zp
This is #ThanksgivingWeekend in #Canada. Deeply grateful to live in a beautiful, bountiful country. Thankful to those who harvest, to those who gently care for our lands and communities, to those who distribute to others in need, and who just care for one another.

#Trump and classified Sub Secrets. So reckless and damaging 1) Should be disqualified from holding any Federal position.. The man is a freaking Russian mole. 2) Any military person who acted so cavalierly would be locked up and labeled traitorous.
3) The US is a country that specializes in double standards especially when prominent assholes are accused.

@samlitzinger The mentioned standard, a great opportunity for the average disgruntled citizen to go out in a blaze of infamy. 😳
@samlitzinger Does it prevent concussions? 🤔
#Mexico President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador rejects the Biden administration's plans to build new sections of wall at the border, telling reporters: "This authorization for the construction of the wall is a step backwards." He is to hold talks today with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other senior US officials in Mexico City.
@Huntn00 😂 I have cats, so it will remain in a habitat. They like a lot of room and they love to run, so he’ll have a wheel. They use a tiny litter box and also like to play in the sand box.
@realTuckFrumper I’ll stream it. 🙃
@AlliFlowers Does it stay in a cage, or free roam? How about relieving itself? I asked my wife, what did she think, and she said, No… 🥸
@breadandcircuses How do you put up such a long post?
Secondly agreed, dismal, depressing, The Great Filter action. The Human species may not go extinct, but we are about to be slapped down, possible widespread conflict, destruction, and wholesale death as groups of humans sacrifice each other so they can survive, or live in comfort. We’re about to be sent back in time tech wise, 10th century, maybe? Some tech knowledge will remain so the future is not etched in stone. 😢
