People are starting to wake up to 'Cause and Effect':
- DT cuts aviation roles months ago, immediately there were 3x air crashes, lives lost.
- DT cuts climate data & weather service jobs, a few weeks after there are 80+ deaths as a result.
"..after mass emails sent to (NWS) employees urging them to retire early or face potential layoffs."
Remove the 'cause' and there will be no 'effect' #RemoveTrump

The image features a character with a stylized, anime-inspired design. The character has dark, spiky hair with a hint of teal on the left side. They have large, expressive eyes with a striking red and orange color, giving them a fierce and intense look. The character's ears are pointed and resemble those of a fox, adding to the animalistic theme. They are wearing round glasses with a thin frame, and their outfit includes a black vest and a bow tie, suggesting a formal or semi-formal style. The character's expression is serious, with a slight frown, and they have a unique earring on the right ear, which is a dangling piece with pink and white beads. The background is dark, which contrasts with the character's glowing eyes and highlights their features.

Musk said he'd form a new pol party called the #AmericaParty. Tesla shares fell Monday. Tesla SHs have wanted Musk to stay away from politics, esp after his stint at the so-called DOGE, which many have said damaged the automaker’s brand.
Musk left DOGE in May, which helped Tesla’s stock.
Now his reinvolvement in the pol arena is making investors nervous.

"#Stygofauna are creatures specifically adapted to life in underground aquatic habitats... Often dwelling in darkness, many have lost their eyes and have developed a range of unique features to thrive in these environments, frequently low in nutrients and oxygen... They contribute water purification and nutrient cycling within aquifers, which directly impact the quality and availability of our resources."

I dont believe a single word of what he says. He represents everything we have seen from shitlibs so so long, for generations now.
I'm completely unconvinced about he says.
His whole thesis:
Make me your master & I will so called "fight" for "working people".
You dont "fight" by being a mini-emperror & becoming part of ruling class club.

be able to inject sanity into the political space.
All flavors of far-right, Economic far-right aka Capitalism, Social far-right aka Nazis, Institutional far-right i.e Lovers of State, Politicians & their goons
have all corrupted the political space.
The political spectrum needs serious corrections in the direction of left as its so far-right, as of now.
It can only happen when we utilize every opening we have, push the envelope as much
as we can, when we see any opening.
Shitlibs are not Heros nor Saviors. They are a different face of the same rotten machine. Even if they give peanuts (best case scenario) to clam peasants down, its only because whatever they know/ought to know, everything belongs to everyone & only way to distributed fairly is when everyone can meaningfully participate in the decision making without power being usurped by those at top (or) agents of those
Tiny Tip to Read My Articles 📰👀:
You might have already noticed that I often write longer articles (not always though), that covers a topic more in-depth.
If you prefer to read shorter articles, know that I structure my writing in a way that most sections can be read independently.
If you read on desktop,
you will see a menu on the right of each article, where you can jump from one section to another.
You can also right-click these subtitles to save a link to a section directly. In the URL, you will see the article's URL followed by a hashtag for this.
I hope this tiny tip can help you enjoy my Privacy Guides articles in a way more customized to your specific interests!

Western Europe, UK Reject Political Settlement in Ukraine, Says Russia's Deputy Envoy to OSCE

The American Public Health Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and several other major medical organizations are suing U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy over vaccines. Also listed as a plaintiff is an anonymous pregnant woman who lives in Massachusetts, where the suit was filed, and who says she was unable to get a COVID-19 vaccination after Kennedy changed the recommendations. Dr. Jason Goldman, president of the American College of Physicians, which is also involved with the suit, said during a briefing on the matter that adults who come to his practice are “hesitant” about vaccines. “They are not trusting the system anymore, and this is a direct impact on the health of our patients, because if they don’t get vaccinated, they can get sicker, they can end up hospitalized or even die."

GAZA: Starvation or gunfire — not a humanitarian response
“Oxfam and 240 other NGOs call for immediate action to end the deadly Israeli distribution scheme (including the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation) in Gaza, revert to the existing UN-led coordination mechanisms, and lift the Israeli government’s blockade on aid and commercial supplies. The 400 aid distribution points operating during the temporary ceasefire across #Gaza have now been replaced by just four military-controlled distribution sites, forcing two million people into overcrowded, militarized zones where they face daily gunfire and mass casualties while trying to access food and are denied other life-saving supplies.”
