Finally canceled my @protonprivacy account.
Directly supporting a company that directly supports Trump is something I try to avoid, as best I can.
This choice was extremely easy.

I hope that now and forever every CEO and corporate executive, corporate board member, and Wall Streeter lives in fear of the direct consequences of their actions which harm consumers, their employees, or the public at large.
It would be just and fair.
Everything Hitler did was legal.
Sometimes after the fact, but always codified to be so.
Republicans have control of the Presidency, House, Senate, Supreme Court, most governorships, all or part of most state legislatures, and a significant number of federal judgeships.
Believing that in two or four years we will be able to change that electorally is to not understand what it is the Republican Party, its allies, and supporters are intending, and their plans to achieve their goals, legally.
@jacklaridian @voxofgod @unclesam@mstdn.plus @aby @jik@federate.social @ChuckMcManis Yes, actually, it is fair and universally accurate that we all hate racism in all its forms.
Yeah, I just placed two big (for me) orders from the (already updated) #HarrisWalz2024 store.
I should've put my first order in Saturday when I filled my cart because one of the #Kamala mugs sold out 😤
It's fine though, I got the signature one.
One order is for #Harris merch (for history), the second, larger order, is for #HarrisWalz stuff to wear, use, and display now, and to share.
#Slavery was never abolished in the #US, it was only modified, as explicitly defined in the #13thAmendment.
The #PrisonIndustrialComplex is literally #SlaveryByAnotherName.
Where are the international sanctions on the #UnitedStates?
And people are still confused as to how we can be allies with brutally repressive, and #authoritarian regimes. Like attracts like.

At my first #political event here in South #Florida since I moved back, 7 years ago.
My Congressperson, #SheilaCherfilusMcCormick, and guest Representative #MaxineWaters are scheduled to be discussing #Project2025 as part of the #DemocraticParty open house here in #BrowardCounty.
Ok, it looks like not only is #Labour pounding the #Tories (though probably not enough to kill the party outright) but #Reform is doing less than fuck all, my biggest surprise of these reported results.
Great job, #UK, outstanding 👍🏿👏🏿
Now, it's on to the second round of #voting in #France and hoping that #Macron doesn't ratfuck neoliberal his way into a coalition with #LePen, but works with the left to weaken #NationalRally, instead 🤞🏿
#ThanksToBlackTwitter I learned how to spell #jawn and #bomboclaat.

@chargrille It's infuriating and terrifying that so many still willfully refuse to fully understand and accept the true horrors we all face, even *if* Trump loses.
It will be immediately worse if he wins, but until the right power structures are demolished everywhere, our descent into hell will continue, relentlessly.
Re: last reboost - For me, preventing #Republican victories in as many #elections as possible this year is a bare minimum first goal in a series of many to achieve the transformational results the majority of us seem to want, and definitely need.
No hyperbole: It should be evident now that if we fail and allow a Republican #President or their control (or stalemate) of either body of #Congress, or similar or greater control of state and local positions as now, we're doomed, or dead.
I've never liked #Biden (but voted for him), and since 1980 have hated the cowardice and complicity of the #Democratic party to the point where I didn't vote in 1988-1992.
I voted independent in 1980 and 2000 (#Anderson, #Nader) in a futile effort to signal my disgust, both times ending in the worst possible result.
The #Democrats are the emergency, worst case option, like the levees around #NewOrleans.
Unfortunately, until we collectively build better solutions, we drown without them
Even with #war and it's real and lingering threat of violence and death, the people of #Gorongosa #mountain in #Mozambique, with direct training and engagement from and by the #government, have preservered and are succeeding in #reforesting the mountain while also benefiting from new #CashCrops—particularly #coffee.
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, literally, is our best hope of #ClimateChange mitigation.
By doing Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, we can survive, and even thrive, the #ClimateChange we are all currently experiencing (not all are living through it).
It's not about any one thing, no matter how critical that any one thing may be—especially ending #carbon and other #GreenhouseGas #emissions—it's about Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.
Even we got emissions down to zero literally today, and for all time, we've still already passed important temperature benchmarks that will continue to negatively affect our #climate for decades, if not centuries or permanently, if we don't do much more.
Old and new #technologies can be combined and improved upon as part of Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange mitigation solutions.
It all counts; it all matters.
"#Agriculture has been the single biggest driver for #wilderness destruction." (As noted in a previous #video, in the #US home #lawns consume more acreage than agriculture, thus are more #ecologically damaging.)
As also previously noted, #ancient #technologies, like #aquaponics, updated and adapted for our times (e.g. including #solar, for power), can be part of a successful Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange mitigation strategy.
The goal of Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange mitigation solutions is "progress, not perfection", with radical and continual improvements.
#WasteToEnergy #incineration is only a bit cleaner than #coal and #gas, but "...the process reduces the volume of #waste, creates #energy, and part of the residue can be #recycled." while reducing the amount of #waste burned in the open, a major and increasing source of #pollutants and #GreenhoseGas #emissions
"My personal view is that the change is worth pursuing in the interest of slowing the negative effects on our #ocean #ecosystem that #GlobalWarming and #ClimateChange is having right now. It's not free. It comes at a cost, and that's a trade-off that we have to consider when we decide to put #WindFarms into the #ocean."
Nothing is free, everything has a cost. The perfect is too often the enemy of the good.
Doing Everything, Everywhere, All at Once is what we need, now.
#DistrictCooling and other #infrastructure and #archtectural changes can help increase the efficiency of #cooling #systems and radically reduce the #energy such systems use even as exponentially more people in more places are finally able to access the lifesaving benefits of artificially and more naturally cooled air.
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange #solutions abound.
