One of the side effects of the #gishGallop of endless hate and outrageous stupidity is that it obscures the abuses of yesterday, yet they continue, while outrage and attention shifts

Example:

the sadistic attack on #womensRights

"Two #Houston-area clinic employees arrested for allegedly providing illegal #abortion s"

We must confront the totality of the #plutocrat-#bigot #political axis in the #USA and not be endlessly distracted

Imagine being a wealthy CEO who spends his time claiming women belong in the kitchen and should not have control of their own bodies. Or that same CEO claiming black lives do not matter. That same CEO claiming love is only love between a man and woman. That same CEO saying, both LGBTQ+ and trans folk suffer from mental illness. Furthermore, claiming that COVID was a hoax, vaccines kill people, and is a firm, Donald Trump supporter.

You probably think, I am talking about Elon Musk, and you likely support the idea of Tesla going bankrupt, as not to support a Nazi. But who I am actually describing is Brendan Eich, the founder and CEO of Brave Browser, but when you tell people that is the case, people will argue "that is different".

Gasp, this is most unexpected... the COALition Liebs & Nuts railing yet again at workers & unions . Still, prolly fair enough, innit, given these delightful pollies have already solved the previously intractable problems of white-collar crime, inequitable taxation, racism, transmisia, domestic violence, social support, climate crisis, ^{ohmightyzarquonican'tgoonanymore...}

We are probably (definitely) missing some, so please comment below with more events if you know of any.

From the National Women's Law Center:
"...Every victory we win, every harm that we prevent, takes us one step closer to a more just, equitable future for all.”—Fatima Goss Graves, NWLC President and CEO

In the first month of the Trump-Vance administration, NWLC has been vocal in calling on those in power to be accountable to their constituents and the rule of law, and fight back against threats to women, LGBTQ+ people, and working families. We've spoken out against the nominations of people who will hinder gender justice efforts, and along with Public Citizen, we sent an open letter to Congress
https://nwlc.org/press-release/nwlc-public-citizen-more-than-110-organizations-call-for-investigation-of-elon-musks-lawless-government-takeover/
calling on them to use their oversight powers to challenge DOGE’s lawless takeover of the federal government and attacks on federal workers and agencies that provide vital services to the public."

KANSAS: Now's the time to flood the streets and legislators offices!

It looks like Republicans have launched a sneaky plan to ban abortion in Kansas.

Mission Statement [reviwed and edited 24-12-21]
[but don't hold me to it]

After the devastating Dutch elections [‘23-11-22] I decided to dedicate my toots back to the original goal.
I care about a lot of issues, most global some national; but I won't be 'tooting' about them all.

First and formost I WANT to 'toot' about:
* #ClimateSolutions
Because I trust that most people reading know about the dreadfull future of climate change, I want to spread the, possible, solutions to a problem rather than reiterate on the problem.
* #ClimateJustice
One of those solution might be sueing the polluters or governments on human rights, violations or #Ecoside
* #ClimateAction
Action is by all means a solution.
* #ClimateEmergency
* #Climate

As said I want to focus on the global issue. I don't want to nitpick on too much principles. Like: "What's worse: eating cows or driving diesel?" Both are devastating behaviors of intitled rich people!
On the otherhand therefore I truly respect ANY effort to make a change for the better.

Most of all... I want to add instead of preach. Bring some bits of the puzzle to the table.

I'm NOT a scientist of any kind. I'm just a disabled old white guy typing on a desk reading and searching a lot.

I tend to toot 10-15 toots at 13:00* that I boost again unchanged at 20:00* the same day, but that's NOT a promise. [*=my [Amstedam] time]

I might be interested in: #StopCopCity #ClimateFinance #Capitalism #Energy #USpolitics #Ukraine #Europe #Bernie #XR #OceanCleanup #NextBlue #InductionCooking #TaxTheRich #Africa #FemaleSoccer #Ajax #WomensRights #Indigenous #BigOil #Greta #CityDesign #VanessaNakate #2030 #Wildfires / #Floods #IPCC #AOC and more.
But after a year or two there appear to be 4 general topics: #Climate #Gaza / #IsraeliGenocide #USpolitics and #Ukraine

I tend to follow anyone who 'retoots' or 'favourites' my toots. Forget it, I'm vain.
If any of my 'followers' wants to opt out... this is your chance, as always.
