Men of the Fediverse: please stop telling women they’re overreacting to U.S Republican fascism and they need to earn your support. JFC do better.

Sometimes it feels like half of my social media is annoyed because they think climate activists are making unreasonable demands

While the other half is near-panic because they've done the research and realise that, in the understated words of the Magic Eight Ball, "outlook not so good"

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just voted to block the Right to Contraception Act, which would enshrine the right to contraceptive access nationally.

When people say, "They'll never take that away," They're WRONG!!!

No Rights are Safe with Republicans in Office.

rbreich, 5 days ago to random

All nine Republican senators running for reelection this year just voted against the right to contraception:

John Barrasso
Marsha Blackburn
Kevin Cramer
Ted Cruz
Deb Fischer
Josh Hawley
Pete Ricketts
Rick Scott
Roger Wicker

So much for the party of "freedom."

4+ years into COVID and many still missing the nuances:

Often 6ft isn't enough, but increasing physical distance reduces risk

N95s are much better, but surgical masks do help

Outdoors is safer, but you can still catch it

Vaccines reduce transmission, but don't eliminate it

Some of y'all are still confused as to why it seems that Silicon Valley billionaires are "turning to Trump." That's because you don't listen to Black people, you disrespect poor white people, and you ignore obvious statistics that have been staring you in the face for decades.

Silicon. Valley. Billionaires. Have. Always. Supported. Trump.

Not because they like the tax breaks. Because they are more likely to be racist, and racism is the greatest predictor of Trump support.

50 billionaire families have already poured $600M+ into this year's elections — mostly in support of Trump.

That's only 0.6% of their total wealth. It essentially costs them nothing to drown our democracy in dark money.

Ok, what’s the plan?

Because if it’s one thing that I learned in 2020, it’s that the people and agencies tasked with informing and protecting society against such pathogens are not up to the job in ways that prioritize all and that, unfortunately, it’s everyone for themselves?

Why are multimillionaires and billionaires like Peter Thiel, Rupert Murdoch, Travis Kalanick, Steven Mnuchin, and others are rallying behind Trump?

Yes, the tax cuts. But there's more.

The more Trump tears down democracy, the safer the oligarchy becomes.

rbreich, 9 days ago to random

Billionaires aren’t just supporting Trump for the tax cuts.

As Peter Thiel once admitted: “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.”

Make no mistake: The goal of American oligarchy is to tear down democracy itself.

This is a remarkable graph.

You might have heard that "EV sales are slumping", "people are starting to avoid EVs", etc.

That's not what's happening.

What's happening is "Tesla is cratering so hard that it's skewing the aggregate market data."

I am talking o a reporter about this in a couple hours: https://regina.ctvnews.ca/from-outer-space-sask-farmers-baffled-after-discovering-strange-wreckage-in-field-1.6880353

This is about an hour away from my farm, so this'll be a fun conversation, and yet another great opportunity to tell a lot of people about what a huge problem we have with unregulated commercialization of orbit. (Also I just redid my slides for my public talk next week, this is going in!)
