@eff@Thorin@washingtonpost Paywall, did not read. Also Democracy has died in the Darkness of your journalistic malpractice of normalizing a Fascist for your Oligarch Bezos, WaPo. Forever muted.
@ErickaSimone “Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.
That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore." ― A.R. Moxon
@jacklaridian Pride was a riot because straight people wanted us dead. I am glad we have made a little progress there, but pride is for US. The cis have the other 364 days (or 11 months) to be proud of who they are, which is not queer. Next you will be telling me cops are OK at pride....
Fantastic write up of how Reagan destroyed the American middle class by allowing corporations to behave badly.
For example: "Before Reagan, CEOs who executed share buybacks just to artificially inflate stock prices could go to prison. FDR criminalized share buybacks in the early 1930s because they’re simply a form of stock price manipulation and were one of the main reasons for the stock market crash of 1929 that kicked off the Republican Great Depression."
As oil companies are forced to pivot away from fuels, plastics are their plan to stay profitable. They are intentionally unregulated, because protecting the environment cuts into profits.
"Like crude oil, nurdles are highly persistent pollutants, and will continue to circulate in ocean currents and wash ashore for decades."
@abolisyonista Sounds like some anti science corporate astroturf libertarian horseshit, as sulfur dioxide is a highly regulated pollutant produced by burning coal and bunker fuel.
