@MSNBC “Labor” really gets in their craw, whether it is uppity employees expecting some control of their lives, or women* doing something better than them.
* Acknowledged their are women Republicans. 😘
This got me thinking Republicans with their distain of the Republic might have to find a new name like Authoritarians, or the Dicktorials. 🤔

Rescued this baby from the pool this morning. I was worried for a while, but he finally dried out and flew off.

Well, the aim of the petition is to attempt to obtain a substantial number of signatures (1M+ for the English version, and 0.5M+ for the Spanish version). If we have success with that, I believe there would be sufficient people in sufficient countries aware of the petition for a key petition aim, THE SUMMIT, to be seriously considered.
I hope that answers your question?!
@Paullima thanks! I’ll check this out. :)
@enoch I meant to say “ keeping our priorities straight, ie too selfish.” 🙄
@Paullima My impression is that this would require a world wide effort from the people of multiple countries. Any hopeful signs on how big a push this currently is?

Hi
I believe you/others might be interested in a petition for radical reform of the UN 🇺🇳, which has been vocal, but sadly largely ineffective, when faced with 21st century challenges such as #ClimateChange.
If indeed you are interested, the petition is accessible via toot:
@enoch With great intelligence, human beings are surprisingly stupid, with significant difficulty keeping our priorities straight, ie too stupid. Along the lines of ME>WE, not WE>ME, and “Oh the planet is doing just fine” just avert your eyes from the record temps, melting glaciers, raging fires, rising sea levels, disappearing jungles, and epic extinction rates- those are liberal manipulations to take your freedom…of being STUPID.. 😪

It’s fascinating and infuriating that ppl are seriously talking about colonizing on mars 😑 we have an amazing planet 🌎 that sustains all of our lives and instead of taking care of it the plan is to destroy it for money then go live on a barren wasteland with bags of the money 💰!? These mars ppl are seriously dumb af.

Our government calls the heroes fighting to save our planet 🌎 eco-terrorists and protects the corporations that are destroying our planet more every day.
@GreenFire …and let me think, which political party is busily throwing up voting obstacles? “Free and fair elections, HEAVEN FORBID!”, thinks wriggling GOP brains, “that won’t get me elected.” 💩

Exactly right, voter turnout went even lower after Obama and that is our biggest obstacle to progress in the USA.
@GreenFire A reminder, 8 years under Obama and the GOP spent that time nashing their teeth, and convulsing with rage. Not being critical of your post.
What we see today is an acceleration of the #GOPBreakingBad trend. If we as a Nation can’t get our act together soon, and toss the Right Wing Yahoos out, then maybe it’s a good thing to be closer to the end than the prospects of what young adults will face under fascism. My logic used to tell me they could not last this long, but here we are. 😪

That would be a good bumper sticker, "Bring Back Boring Politics"

Ok, I’m 77 years old. Has our political scene always been as dirty as it is now? Revenge impeachments, MTG and Boebert spouting absolute garbage every day. No interest in helping Americans , just vengeance for their leader. SCOTUS corruption, ridiculous investigations. I think I’ve been naive. 8 years of no drama Obama spoiled me!
@GreenFire I’m out of touch. How long can you run your home, at least the fridge, and AC on batteries? I’ll investigate. Thanks!

Now, you can install batteries for the price of a whole-home generator that won't require for the methane distribution system to be running and get a rebate back from the government.
#Houston #ClimateChange Oppressive 100F heat for weeks, with the prospect of months to come, The garden relies on us and watering to stay alive. The #Texas electrical grid is reported under stress, I hate thinking about electrical failure and loss of AC, pondering why I failed to install a natural gas Generac System. Is it too late? At the time I was just thinking of Hurricanes. 🤔
