In terminal-phase capitalism, the ruling class no longer even pretends it can solve the problems of society. The plundering, looting, and authoritarianism become more overt, and formal democracy is more brazenly extinguished in all spheres.

Pat Tillman was a beautiful soul. That he thought the war in Iraq was "illegal as hell" is not something to hide. It is part of what made his soul so beautiful.

Big Oil is raking in money: Exxon alone earned a profit of >$6 million *per hour* in 2022 Now these companies are abandoning their climate promises Lowering emissions has never been a priority for the most polluting companies on the planet - and now they're not even pretending

#Analysis: Financial results from the biggest energy companies in the world show that last year was their most profitable year ever. Many of them have now scaled back previous commitments to pivot more toward renewable energy. cbc.ca/news/business/…

My latest, tracking the curious links between many of the groups advocating for the "recovery industry" in BC. 👇🏽
PressProgress@pressprogress

‘Recovery industry’ groups attacking ‘safe supply’ in British Columbia have deep ties with conservative political actors. Web of connections link dubious “recovery” advocates with right-wing political actors in BC and Alberta. pressprogress.ca/recovery-indus… #bcpoli #ableg #cdnhealth

“It’s very hard for owners to avoid the temptation of using these [outlets] as a sort of extension of their business priorities. If they own them, they feel like they own them.” Capital Daily staff refused to promote the boss’ company. Then they got fired:ricochet.media/en/3929/capita…

Nearly 60 percent of Berliners voted to socialize corporate-owned flats in September 2021. Since then, politicians have questioned whether the move would really help tenants. A new study from @AndrejHolm and Matthias Brent shows: socialization lowers rents!rosalux.de/en/publication…

Carbon capture is a fairytale solution to the climate crisis "internal documents reveal oil+gas companies know this-and see the tech as a way to get social license to continue producing fossil fuels for decades to come" ricochet.media/en/3928 @ricochet_en @howarth_cornell

It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of fossil capitalism. The B.C. Govt could end fossil fuel subsidies and raise the corporate income tax back to what it was before the BC Liberals, just for starters. #bcpoli

Why #ClimateAction is critical, but basically doomed: "Big Oil doubles profits to $219 billion in 2022"...they no longer care about "transition" #bcpoli #cdnpoli

"...man near the north end of the Granville Street Bridge behaving erratically. There was an interaction between the man and police, and shots were fired by police. The man was subsequently pronounced deceased." the language here is the very pinnacle of passive voice.
