Major oil firms make $93bn profits in just 3 months amid war and climate crisis. They shift profits, dodge taxes, fuel poverty and inflation. They don't bear the social cost of their business. Forever holding people/govts to ransom. Polluters must pay. Need windfall tax now.

Here is a clear example of how corporate capitalist forces (and their media) try to undermine science & create their own counterfactuals (and enemies) - in this case using useful idiots. A clear example of false consciousness - where publics must be deceived to protect corporate capital accumulation

#Everton has to pay Burnley nearly £40M for utterly BS sporting advantage in PSR violations. In the original sanction, Dickie Masters said fining wealthy owners is not a deterrent to future violations.

Following today’s forecast run, VoteHub now rates the Texas U.S. Senate race between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton as a Tossup.
That’s because the media is bought and paid for by Oligarchs…
God@thegodshow.com · last wk.Why isn’t the media breathlessly reporting on how the president is totally unfit for office?
Boy I’m so glad we’re razing the institutional press so we can outsource knowledge production to easily-gamed syntax extruders controlled by three massive tech companies.
David Roberts@volts.wtf · last wk.Israel is giving Trump's former campaign manager millions of dollars to fill the internet with pro-Israel articles written by AI, not so that anyone will actually read them, but so that *LLMs will train on them* & regurgitate their perspective.
