Day 27 🗣️🔊🎩

“For the first time, #GenZ and #Millennials outnumber #Boomers as the biggest voting bloc. I can’t speak for everyone, but the general mood on the ground is bleak.

Younger generations in particular are, rightfully, increasingly #disillusioned with the two-party system, which serves a dwindling minority of #morbidly wealthy players rather than the general public.

We’re tired of the mudslinging, scare campaigns, confected culture wars and other transparent political theatrics that incite division while distracting the public and media from legitimate critical issues. We don’t need games. We need bold, urgent, sweeping economic and social reforms. There’s frankly no time for anything else.

Last year was officially the hottest on record globally, exceeding 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. #Multinational #FossilFuel #corporations continue to pillage our #resources and coerce our elected officials while paying next to #NoTax.” — #GraceTame

Scientists knew about the harms of fossil fuel emissions in the 1950s.

“They already understood that when we burn fossil fuels, we put greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, those gases heat the atmosphere, and therefore it was extremely likely that in the fullness of time, burning fossil fuels would lead to global climate change.”

This is why NONE of this shit today is regular peoples' fault, it is SOLELY corporations who ignored this for profit. And people who are alive today weren't anywhere near to that, to the fucking DECADES of science denial. This is why you can shove corporations trying to guilt you, make you feel responsible, and their greenwashing up their asses.

#Kerala fishermen up in arms against #DeepSeaMining proposal off #Kollam coast

March 22, 2025

"The fishermen in Kerala have already launched several protests against the proposed plan to open up the sea to private mining companies as part of the Union Government’s ‘Blue Economy’ initiative.

"All the fishermen’s associations stand united in their protests against this proposal, alleging that it would bring an end to the fisheries sector in the country, not only in the #ArabianSea but also in the #BayOfBengal.

“ 'The mining, according to the scientific report we have, can disturb the seabed and completely destroy fish spawning habitats. It can also release poisonous gases trapped on the #DeepSeaFloor, causing severe #environmental issues,' Kerala Minister for Fisheries, Saji Cherian, told PTI.

"He said that deep-sea mining requires huge investments and heavy machinery, meaning only #multinational #corporations will be involved, making these areas completely inaccessible to poor fishermen.

"The Kerala government, which is strongly opposing this project, passed a resolution in the Assembly urging the Centre to withdraw it.

"The Minister said the proposed site, off the Kollam shore in Kerala in the Arabian Sea, is very rich in marine resources and serves as a lifeline for fishermen from Kerala and other states.

“ 'We have a highly diverse and extensive fish population in this area. The mining will completely wipe out this habitat, severely affecting the livelihood of fishermen in our region,' Saji Cherian said."

🇺🇸 📈 **Could Trump’s tariffs give a green light for corporate profiteering?**

_“My suspicion is, in an environment where there is a broad expectation of higher inflation in the US, where consumers are generally expecting it, companies will feel more able to go for the price increase option.”_

The Guardian · Could Trump’s tariffs give a green light for corporate profiteering?By Richard Partington

Trump doesn’t have a desire to take over #Greenland, Silicon Valley has.

This is part 1 of the Silicon Valley billionaires’ plan to take over the whole world.

This is about the #NetworkState. The plan to build pure corporate #autocracies, as the next superpower of the world.

They see the end of nation states and #democracy, and yearn for a world where #corporations rule supreme.

#BernieSanders did. His party hung him out to dry on behalf of their corporate donor base.
It hasn't actually stopped him. Check out the No Oligarchs Tour crowds.

But I hear you. It's frustrating af that when a Dem gets elected & tries to do ANYTHING for the 99%, Corporate Media pulls out all the stops to squash it. When a corporate tool gets elected to give tax breaks away, where's all the 'How U Gonna Pay 4 That' 💩??

It's almost like all the media are owned by #Corporations 😒🤫

me - corporations are not fair.
users - true that.

me - U.S. corporations are not fair.
users - I'll just take this political, call you a communist and spread bad stories about you.

If you ever hear bad talk about us on mastodon, then this might be a reason. (our .social account got deleted for no reason and some pro-EU accounts ghost us, also no idea why)

If you want to double check on our opinion, please just ask us directly! We're pretty straight forward.

Speaker #MikeJohnson was able to put down a revolt on Thurs & push through that blueprint to deliver #Trump’s agenda of spending & tax cuts for #corporations & the #wealthy by promising #House conservatives that their colleagues in the #Senate would join them in cutting $1.5T in federal spending over the next decade.

The #House narrowly adopted the #Republican #budget blueprint for slashing taxes for the very #wealthy & #corporations & government #spending, overcoming the concerns of budget hard-liners who fear it will balloon the nation’s #debt. The vote was a victory for Speaker #MikeJohnson, who put down a rebellion from deficit hawks, & #Trump, who had stepped up pressure on reluctant #Republicans.
