Get ready for #BlackLung
#Trump set to sign #ExecutiveOrders to boost #US #coal
When burned, coal releases more of the main #GreenhouseGas carbon dioxide than any other #FossilFuel. It also emits criteria #pollutants that are blamed for #lung & #heart illnesses. Much of its use has declined on #regulations from #Democrats, including President Joe #Biden.

At the State Dinner, Jill Biden Revives the Oscar de la Renta Tradition https://www.diningandcooking.com/?p=2004507 #biden #Brigitte #dc #dinner #FashionAndApparel #FirstLadies(US) #francais #france #French #FrenchDinner #JillTracyJacobs #LouisVuitton #Macron #OscarDeLaRentaLLC #StateDinners #UnitedStatesPoliticsAndGovernment #WhiteHouseBuilding(Washington #YourFeedFashion
And if we look at historical events throughout the 20th-century, almost every country that had a #revolution went #socialist only after fascists had taken control of the country some years or decades earlier.
I apologize for my posts where I was basically doomposting saying #revolution will never happen in the #US.
That kind of attitude is why. #Fascism always gets defeated in the end; it never lasts more than a few decades at the most.
Biden had already increased US production WITHOUT sending shockwaves through the world economic system and putting the US economy in peril.
Interesting twist to do the fascism on your way into a #GreatDepression instead of the other way around.
It has been two weeks since a #Georgia woman was arrested for her #miscarriage, & not one major national #outlet has covered the story.
If there's any good news to take from all this it's that there's no longer any doubt that #neoliberalism is dead.
#Neoliberalism leads to internally untenable levels of #inequality such that it ultimately gives way to either fascism or #socialism. The Democratic Party did its best to make sure socialism would never appear to be a real alternative. As a consequence, we're now getting the fascism treatment.
If you asked most people in this country to come up with $1000 immediately, they couldn't. THIS is where the country has been for years.
Ask the shitlibs who say they want to "fight fascism" this question:
Will you support a #socialist #revolution should the time come that it happens?
And see how they respond.
I had one tell me they'd rather Trump declare himself #dictator than let that happen.
Mahmoud Khalili’s Letter to #Columbia from jail: “The student movement will continue to carry the mantle of a free #Palestine. History will redeem us, while those who were content to wait on the sidelines will be forever remembered for their silence.”

You need to read #theory. It's essential that you read theory. If you want to have an understanding, there's no replacing the words they wrote themselves. It's not glamorous, & at times, it feels like homework.
But the feeling of #liberation you feel once everything clicks.
Eye-opening.
I'm not interested in #communists holding power just to hold it for no reason. I want them to make transformative #actions that improve society's well-being. What's the point of winning just to win? #AOC has been one of the least productive members of #Congress since she was elected.
This is what the social democrats who keep telling me "at least we're getting somewhere" don't seem to understand. Holding power doesn't mean anything if you don't actually do something beneficial with that #power. What's the point of "winning" if nothing comes out of it?
