.@andyburnham said over and over, "WE WILL END 40 YEARS of NEOLIBERALISM/THATCHERISM"
Turns out he meant - "We will MERELY tinker with the stinking, rotten, unjust, deep-poverty-creating, beloved-of-billionaires, planet-destroying system of Neoliberalism/Thatcherism"
There is no hope. That's not a decision I've made. There's no hope because there is no hope. The possibility of hope is incompatible with 1.1 trillion tonnes of atmospheric CO2 plus other GHGs which heat this planet to 10°C above preindustrial. It's not an IQ test.
Absence of hope doesn't mean giving up. It means the opposite. Our job now, everyone's job, is to survive this event as long as possible with the least possible suffering. Nothing more, nothing less.
Heartbreaking. I didn’t know him, but Jesse had just finished loading his rescue vehicle in Kramatorsk with cats & dogs when the Russians hit him with an FPV drone. He gave his life helping those who could not help themselves. 💔
Victoria BC man killed by drone strike, along with animals he was rescuing
Jesse Adams was volunteering helping people and pets in Ukraine
May he rest in peace 🥺

I’m going to be “that person” and remind everyone not to leave pumpkins outdoors as they are toxic to hedgehogs, which are now an endangered species.

An administration that didn’t know a spokesperson lied about being a lawyer shouldn’t be in charge of anything.

0.1% of people on the planet emit more CO2 than the poorest 3.5 billion people combined.
One year’s worth of emissions from the top 1% will result in an estimated 1.3 million excess deaths from extreme heat.
Just a few stats from Oxfam's incredible new report.
Natural disasters aren’t natural. A storm doesn’t decide who has insurance, savings or somewhere safe to go. People built the systems that leave others exposed. People can change them.

Old-growth forests provide bears with dens, food, and water for centuries. Humans destroy the forests, build replacement dens, and call it conservation.
Wrong. Sorry, but this is EXACTLY the attitude that wasted four fucking years not convicting anyone above Proud Boy for J6, and laid out the welcome mat for Trump.
The establishment creatures that got us into this mess ought to sit down.
I supported her but her time is over.
If you don’t impeach a president for this, you have abdicated your responsibility. End of story.
Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea.
We have limited resources, and I think the energy and the resources need to be put into accountability, need to be put into investigations. And that’s where the time should be spent.
I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there.
I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…
Just as I've been saying — Dems never pursue justice for any RW criminals, from Iran-Contra to W's torture and Blackwater to Wall Street bankers' 2008 crash to Trump's Russian collusion, insurrection, Epstein. It's always "just move on," which is why the crimes only grow worse.

This is 255 seconds of the US President speaking in explicitly homoerotic terms—including simulated fellatio and ass-grabbing—about a candidate for Senate.
It’s difficult to watch—like a car accident. Try and read it.
“I said, wait a minute. You got to be kidding. He's like, very quiet. And I never really looked at him because it's never been my thing to look at men, but I like men, but I've never been particularly attracted. Sorry.
And what I do is I call like, I'm going to call Ken up, say a couple of words and he'll say a couple of words. So I called John up and again, John Gruden just, in fact, he said something that was amazing because he's such a fine man.
John used that is as the Senator, but he's running for reelection against a real sleazebag who got thrown out years ago, defeated by Bernie Marino, who's a great Senator, but he was defeated. So he was thrown and now he's running again against John. And I called John up, but John Gruden said one thing that got me and I couldn't believe it because you know, it's such a high quality person.
He said in the football games, he would rip people's heads off when he tackled them. He was so tough. He would just, I said, was he the best? He said he was the best player on the team. And that's why I'm here. I was surprised to see him. I said, what do you do there? I'm here to be with my teammate.
John Husted. He said, yeah, he was the best. He was an all American. And a few people understood that when I started talking about him, guy shot. He was an all American, sir. And so, but he was, he's a humble guy. So he didn't talk about it. So I brought him up and he started speaking. Thank you very much. Very much. And you know, he said a few words and I was standing right here and I'm studying him because John Gruden is a great coach.
One of the best said that this guy's one of the best players he's ever been associated with. Best player on a championship team, all America. And I never knew he even played football. So I'm studying him.
And I made the mistake of saying that I started off by studying his ass. I just want to say.
And then I looked at his feet and they were massive. Then I looked at his hands, see these hands.
He's a nice head. They're fine. He had fingers like sausages. I looked at his hands. I said, look at it guys.
And then I patted him on the shoulder. I said, great job, John. He said a few words. I said, great job. And I hurt my hand. It was like I was hitting steel, but I made the mistake of studying his anatomy and explaining it to the audience and the audience loved it. By the way, he went up 12 points that day.
He went from being down to being up. Maybe I should do that with Ken Paxton, but I'm not sure your body is going to qualify. I'm going to do it with Ken. No, but I would say so what happens is so John leaves. I told us everybody had fun, you know, but the people appreciate it because they didn't know. A lot of them didn't know. 95% didn't know.
And the fake news did it to me. They only covered the ass part.
They said, they said, this is news cable freaks. And I think ABC fake news, one of the worst. And they said, what the hell was Trump doing talking about a man's anatomy? What, what's his problem? What's why is he doing this?
And I explained it. He was talking about his ass and his feet. What was he doing? You know what I was in and they know, but they actually had me and they'd only say I studied his ass after that.
It was to see where the power came from because he was a violent tackler anyway, but they did it to me beautifully. That's no different than walking into walls and saying, Oh, my wife said, Oh my, are you okay, darling? So no, they're fake news. That's why I came up with that term.
That was my term. We have a lot of good terms. I could give you a lot of them. Pocahontas.”

Again, a popular movement has ousted an autocrat. The Serbian people were fed up with the corrupt rule of long-serving Aleksandar Vučić. Serbia follows similar movements in Poland, Hungary, Bangladesh, Brazil, Sri Lanka. The Putins of the world are scared. trib.al/URhTOFY

Russell Brand’s trial is devastating. Testimony describes him as a rabid animal, demanding sex every few hours from whoever happened to be around, and taking it regardless of consent
Brand’s defense is that women knew he was a degenerate maniac, so they should have expected it by being in a room with him (several allege he attacked them in public and tried to drag them into bathroom stalls)
This is separate from FIVE disturbing allegations in Channel 4 Dispatches. Brand has zero regard for women as human beings - I can’t even imagine how many victims there truly are
Blows my mind that so many people peddle his lunacy portraying him as a truth-telling martyr being smeared by the establishment - and buy his newfound religious hucksterism
Makes sense he’s leapt into the movement of sexual offenders and pedophiles, where he belongs (other than prison)
