Important read. I’m pretty confident that the vast majority of humans do NOT choose to burn up & starve on an unlovable fiery planet. Why are we letting these profit-obsessed death cult freaks decide the future for all of us?
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 12h agoMy column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There's no female equivalent to the woman-abuser-to-mass-shooter pipeline we see with men. I'm not aware of women engaging in "family annihilation," where they kill their spouses, all the children, some additional relatives and finally themselves in the ultimate act of "you can't leave, I own you."
The fact that the GOP has somehow hoodwinked both the voters and the media into believing this decades-long BS narrative that they are somehow "the party of fiscal responsibility" is absolutely astounding. #ResistTrump
Damn. This is so disheartening. Judge Mehta has dismissed the Seditious Conspiracy charges against the Oath Keepers.

A new Senate investigation says JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America processed massive sums tied to Jeffrey Epstein despite glaring red flags. Powerful institutions helped keep his operation running and every one of them must be held accountable. Follow the money, release everything.
Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
It's demoralizing living in a nonstop Abuse-a-thon: we've had to learn the sordid details of so many men's abhorrent behavior; I mean this summer has been Graham Platner, Andrew Tate, Jared Leto, Max Miller, plus the horrific L.A. rape-murder of the child by the rapper, to name a few lowlights.
