I am telling you: the modern GOP is not a series of politicians trying to govern and help solve problems to improve lives. These are *political influencers* hoping to get attention, so they can accumulate more money and power. https://t.co/Rk2rjESYMR— Brian Klaas (@brianklaas) October 10, 2023

The massive heat wave & drought China is experiencing may end up being the worst in recorded history. But turn on the corp news & it’s barely mentioned. George Monbiot calls it The Great Silence.
