  @gleick@mas.to It would be nice if the press also named the oil oligarchs who fund climate denial & who corrupt the courts & politicians. https://www.desmog.com/2024/10/25/project-2025-trump-mapped-how-6-billionaire-family-fortunes-fund-climate-denial/ https://theintercept.com/2022/06/30/supreme-court-epa-climate-charles-koch/ https://www.desmog.com/2024/08/14/project-2025-billionaire-donor-heritage-foundation-donald-trump-jd-vance-charles-koch-peter-coors/ The ICC is under attack...

  @randahl@mastodon.social There is a reason why TV shows & movies about resistance to oligarchic or fascist domination get canceled or get limited release in the USA now. Altered Carbon. Sisu. Not allowed to trash talk the 1% running far right movements. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/best-anti-fascist-films/brazil-1985/ The movie Brazil was shelved for ages for its message. https://48hills.org/2026/05/hey-elon-sf-has-lots-more-tech-olilgarchs-you-can-go-ahead-and-sue/ https:...

  @randahl@mastodon.social Spain can afford to defy Trump and his fossil fuel funded regime because they have moved successfully to renewable energy. Freed of the bullying by oil oligarchs, Spain has agency, autonomy, and sovereignty. If only other nations chose the same path... ditch the hegemony of petrostate despots & their technofascist proxies like Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, Peter Thiel, David Sacks, & Andreessen https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-intellectual-roots-of-the-r...

  @randahl@mastodon.social @BillMcGuire@mastodon.social We continue to underestimate how far the oil industry is willing to go to keep its hegemony. Putin is losing his oil refineries & pipelines and billionaires don't tolerate failure in their proxies. Ukraine's military strategy is superb.

  2/ Or pro-fossil fuel perspectives? Or pro-evangelical indoctrination? Or pro-slavery history lessons? What happens to the users of these AI companies when the startup goes bankrupt in the AI bubble? It's stolen data, what happens to the data in a bankruptcy? What happens when mandated use of an energy wasteful application comes before preventing an ecocide, mass unemployment, or double digit electricity rate increases? The dependency can be abused to get government bailouts & subsi...

  @cdarwin@c.im #TranslatedFromTheRepublican "Safety & security for me, suffering & misery for thee" When Republicans tell the world that they are "pro-life", remind them of this selfish hypocrisy. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/usaids-last-funds-are-paying-for-voughts-security-detail.html

  @cbarbermd@med-mastodon.com Billionaires have worked very hard on their "Make People Miserable" movement. They delude themselves that it will buy them permanent fascist rule as Republican voters shrink their empathy to "my & mine only" & blameshifting to the marginalized. Here's a list of the funders of fascism: 1. SpaceX $288,723,409 2. Adelson Clinic/Miriam Adelson $146,881,700 3. Uline Inc $146,027,201 4. Citadel LLC $108,669,316 5. Susquehanna Internation...

  @nemo@mas.to Microsoft has joined notorious fossil fuel fascist Charles Koch to impose AI on users. Koch wants to dismantle the EU. They're setting aside $1 billion for forced user acceptance of AI. Moving away from Microsoft means less money funding a fascist movement. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/20/us/politics/koch-network-2024-election-trump.html The resources being devoted to AI-enabled election meddling are enormous. https://theconversation.com/world-first-social-media-warga...

  @JackTheCat@mastodon.scot The tentacles of the fossil fuel industry reach deeply. It's funding the destabilization of every democracy with the fortitude to act on climate. Scotland's wind farms means autonomy & sovereignty. That enrages the billionaire bigots who fund fascism & dysfunction. https://theweek.com/environment/climate-change-national-security-trump https://thebulletin.org/2025/12/trump-is-manipulating-national-security-to-stop-energy-projects-he-doesnt-like/...

  @Remittancegirl@mstdn.social The alumni of the John Birch Society & the Heritage Foundation have waged a century of warfare against democracy. They're particularly keen on the various ways to disenfranchise women. Oddly enough, their fascist Policies of Immiseration are suppressing the birth rate. They're having trouble understanding why women refuse to have children after having been shot in the face by one of their goons. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2026/01/08/he...

  @virtuous_sloth@cosocial.ca @ifixcoinops@retro.social Corporate America set itself the goal of undoing FDR's New Deal & ending every future program like it, including the Green New Deal & the ACA. They had a solid 30% forever voting bloc of religious bigots to work with. Over a period of 60 years they remade American democracy into a Nazi state Hitler would have envied. The pinball machine of tiny wires & widgets of progressive democracy was remade into stagnant corporate f...

  @ScottLucas@journa.host Ukraine will get its territory back. All of it. Trump will be consigned to the dustbin of history, just like Neville Chamberlain. Trump's failure to protect democracy is the utmost treachery.
