This meme has been brought to you by FOX news and the fossil fuel lobby.

You're right, if it was an intelligence service they'd want the service to continue while they have a backdoor.

Hillarious! Just for a few seconds I wondered if this was real!

Don't worry, probably they are going to jail for protesting. Soon we won't have any more rabble disturbing the blissful zen of self extinction.

Under a new law, the protesters risk up to six months of jail time.

Constantly being brainwashed to consume is one of the great evils of our time. Consumerism is bad for mental health and the environment. But advertising also creates many biases in content creation.

When was the last time you heard anything about bad effects of advertising? Not just superficial "stupid ad" but as a massive corrosive force on society? That is how much freedom of speech we have.

The court has been found to be fascist and aiding and abetting a genocide.

So what is the point of acquiring them if they just dismantle the company? Seems stupid unless it's funded by the CIA or something.

I think logically you need the same order of magnitude to remove CO2 from the atmosphere as you gained form burning the fossil fuels. But I'm not sure where the practical limit is.

The only solution that makes remotely sense is using large areas of the ocean where nothing grows anyway and have a fleet of hundreds of ships that seed out algae that grows, absorbs sunlight and CO2 and then rains down on the ocean floor to sequester the carbon. Otherwise we don't have the land, energy and resources and money to do any of this.

Unsurprisingly it's MAGA. Hilarious that even the liberals on the supreme court are currently doing mental gymnastics to ignore the constitution.

He's a hero and political prisoner. This Judge Ana Reyes is completely unhinged comparing this to Jan 6.

“What you did in attacking the sitting president of the United States was an attack on our constitutional democracy,” Reyes said. “We’re talking about someone who … pulled off the biggest heist in IRS history.” The judge compared Littlejohn’s actions to those of the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack, noting that, “your actions were also a threat to our democracy.”

“It engenders the same fear that January 6 does,” Reyes added. Prosecutors said Littlejohn went through great lengths to steal the tax records undetected, exploiting system loopholes, downloading data to an Apple iPod and uploading the information on a private website he later deleted.

Reyes was also critical of the Justice Department’s decision to only bring one count against Littlejohn.

“The fact that he did what he did and he’s facing one felony count, I have no words for,” the judge said.
