Democracy or bust.

Democracy is pro-human, pro-earth.
Authoritarians are peevish misanthrope losers.

A corrupt and/or hypocritical democracy is worthless.

There is no such thing as a surveillance democracy. It is scientifically impossible.

A calm mountain lake. The water is like a mirror, green in color. A small wooden boat is moored close to the shore. Two mountains rise on either side of the lake  and are reflected in the still water.

Black people know this, and racists know this. The only people that don't know this, are most non-racist Americans. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I know that racists know this, because if you invert all of these interventions that work to reduce school racism, you have just written a near perfect racist political platform:

โ€ข End bail reform
โ€ข Keep racist teachers
โ€ข Fire anti-racist Black, white, AAPI, Latinx teachers
โ€ข Place more cops in schools
โ€ข End free lunch programs
โ€ข Increase police budgets
โ€ข Defund art education

The nation should not deceive itself about the face it's seeing โ€” the face of the Republican party โ€” as it sees Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia screaming vile words in the face of the president.

This is the face of white Christian nationalism. Those who liive in areas of the country long dominated by white Christian nationalist ideology know it well.

We remember it well from the distorted faces of white citizens screaming at black children integrating schools.

By covering all large parking lots with solar panels, France is on track to add as much as 8% to their current electrical capacity or as much as 10 nuclear power plants can generate! โ˜€๏ธ

General Mattis didnโ€™t tell trump about Chinese spy balloons over U.S. territory when he was the 26th U.S. Secretary of Defense cause he feared trump would react way too erratically & aggressively.

Sveral trump Admin national security officials said they were never informed of intrusions by Pentagon during the trump administration.
This info according to republican Michael Waltz, Representative of the 6th Congressional district of Florida.
MAGAs are losing their sh*t, calling Mattis a traitor. ๐Ÿคฃ

Today would be a good day to make policy as though the earth is an interconnected whole upon which the human is a fully dependent part.

It would also be a good day to ask if one part of an interconnected system could thrive while other parts suffer and struggle.
