“WASHINGTON, Dec 3 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday said that the latest round of Iran nuclear talks ended because Iran right now does not seem to be serious about doing what is necessary to return to compliance with a 2015 deal.
Blinken, speaking at the Reuters Next conference, said that the United States would not let Iran drag out the process while continuing to advance its program and that Washington will pursue other options if diplomacy fails.
"What we've seen in the last couple of days is that Iran right now does not seem to be serious about doing what's necessary to return to compliance, which is why we ended this round of talks in Vienna," Blinken said. read more
"We're going to be consulting very closely and carefully with all of our partners in the process itself ... and we will see if Iran has any interest in engaging seriously," he said.”

Trump’s\Biden’s Supreme Court Justice Barrett proves stunningly asinine & bigoted:
“Justice Barrett Wonders About 'Jewish-Palestinian' Conflict
In a case about separation of church and state, Justice Gilead lets everyone know her "position on Jews."”
“**Supreme Court Justice Barrett actually said this:** 'we take a position on the Jewish-Palestinian conflict because of our position on, you know, Jews, right?'
**Yes, she is openly antisemitic, but maybe seeing this will wake up some of the lefty 'But Israel' people, who use the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as cover for hating Jews. **
**Warning for bleeped-language and fury** (The article was written by an Admin from another group):
'Listen, you rapture-desperate Jesus freak. It's the Israeli- Palestinian conflict, you f*-ing pinecone. It's language like yours, framing like yours, which allows the anti-Semitic-curious to go full-fledged Nazi using the cover of a "progressive" cause.
It's asinine, reductive conflating of a deeply complex set of circumstances into an oversimplified (and mind you, incorrect) childish sketch of reality.'”

“Life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
“In the united states’ declaration of independence, Thomas Jefferson states that our Rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness can not be taken or given away. The arrangement of these words, as expressed, were not written haphazardly.
They represent our natural human rights in perfect prioritized order. Life comes before liberty and Liberty before our Pursuit of Happiness. This deliberate and thoughtful sequence of words clearly describes that the right to be free from unnecessary and avoidable harmful exploitation is a higher moral principle than another’s freedom to exploit for personal gain.
When we earnestly strive to learn what is truly important in life, when we understand the difference between what is essential to life and what merely makes us happy, our intuition tells us that personal growth and fulfillment are more essential to a meaningful life than the addictive and negligently exploitative pursuit of excessive wealth and luxury.”

“Dutch Citizens just sued their government over inaction on climate change and they won!
“886 Dutch citizens, including teachers, entrepreneurs, grandparents and students united to sue their government for its inaction on climate change. In a decision likely to reverberate across the world, the court ordered the state to reduce emissions by 25% within 5 years to protect its citizens from climate change.
A HUGE congratulations to all involved, including Urgenda, the group that brought the suit on behalf of the citizens.”

“It has always seemed strange to me… the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system.

And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.”

“It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.

Today’s Elon Musk,…well, consider the following,
1 Success creates ruinous competition,
2 We learn from others mistakes: the reality of Elon Musk is that his plans proved bust until he agreed to launder proceeds of a life saving $4.9 B in govt welfare back as donations to fascist politicians
Every knows the amount of money is just as important as WHEN it comes. When (and if) it comes can make you or break you. And that is what we saw with Musk. The $4.9B by kept him in business.
And just like that government allowed his boobery to persist. Was it wise if govt to get involved? Call the $4.9 B immediately due and payable to the Taxpayers and push Tesla into bankruptcy if you have to get the money and watch what happens. You’ll find that musk is as about as necessary as a screen door on a submarine. Hell, the judge could even see fit that whoever is better at cash management than pumpkin head Elon can take Tesla out of receivership only if they give all frontline workers a $15.00 raise. It was asinine for politicians to bail him out. But instead they followed Wisconsin’s Foxconn example and saw musk as a way to get kickbacks

“Planetwide Ecocide - The Crime Against Life on Earth
by Andrew Glikson
Planetwide ecocide results from anthropogenic emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, raising their combined forcing (CO₂ + CH₄ + N₂O, etc.) to levels over 500 ppm CO₂-equivalent, (Figure 3), almost doubling the pre-industrial CO₂ level of ~280 ppm, and corresponding to a rise of +3°C per doubling of CO₂ levels.
Humans have developed an absurd capacity to simultaneously create and destroy, culminating with the destruction of environments that allowed them to flourish in the first place. Possessed by a conscious fear of death and a craving for god-like immortality, there is no murderous obscenity some were not willing to perform, including the transfer of every accessible carbon molecule to the atmosphere.
Humans have developed an absurd capacity to simultaneously create and destroy, culminating with the destruction of environments that allowed them to flourish in the first place. Possessed by a conscious fear of death and a craving for god-like immortality, there is no murderous obscenity some were not willing to perform, including the transfer of every accessible carbon molecule to the atmosphere.
Based on direct observations and the basic laws of physics, the life support systems of the biosphere are threatened by the rise of greenhouse gases and temperature by an average of more than 1.14°C since 1880, currently tracking toward 2°C. These values take little account of the masking effects of the transient mitigating effects of sulphate aerosols in the range of −0.3 to −1.8 Wm⁻², pushing mean global temperature to >1.5°C. Following the current acceleration (Figure 3), mean temperature could reach 2°C by 2030, 3°C by the 2050s and 4°C by 2100, inducing heat waves and major fires.
As $trillions are invested in future wars, who or what will defend life on Earth?
