Every single second, the world hands $6,000 to the fossil fuel industry in subsidies.
That’s $5 TRILLION every year.
Renewables? Barely a fraction of that.
We are literally paying to cook our own planet.
When does this madness stop? 🌍💸

The Justice Department is admitting that a $14 million renovation on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, was flawed, and is dropping the criminal case against a former Olympian that accused him of damaging the pool, according to a new court filing. https://cnn.it/3RJJnwj

PERSON OF THE DAY. 1 August 1944. Anne Frank wrote the final entry in her famous diary, writing, “I get cross, then sad, and ... keep trying to find a way to become what I’d like to be and what I could be … if only there were no other people in the world.”

Elon Musk is planning to spend at least $100 million to help Republicans in this year’s midterms.
That’s just 0.014 percent of his current $702 billion net worth.
Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so.
We must get Big Money out of politics.

Just a reminder for those not familiar with UK media, please don't circulate posts or articles by the Daily Mail, the paper has been aligned with the far-right since the 1930s and continues to promote the forces of modern fascism.

There's a Genocide happening in Gaza.
Our Government is arresting pensioners for holding cardboard signs that say "I support Palestine Action."
And Andy Burnham - labours apparent last hope - won't even acknowledge what's really happening.
