Bannon, Gaetz Call for ‘Shock Troops’ to Take Control of Government if Trump Returns in ’24 (Me: Clearly a call for “American Nazi Storm Troopers” – both traitors should be in jail soon!)

“This is Trumpism in power. That’s when we went to the 4,000 shock troops we have to have that’s going to man the government,” Bannon predicted. “Get them ready now. Right? We’re going to hit the beach with the landing teams and the beachhead teams and all that nomenclature they use when President Trump wins in 2024—or before.” Source: Bannon, Gaetz Call for ‘Shock Troops’ to Take Control of Government if Trump Returns in ’24

The Amazon is turning into savannah – we have 5 years to save it | New Scientist

Gatti has spent years observing the Amazon from the air. She believes we are as little as five years from a point of no return, where lush rainforest irreversibly begins to convert into dry savannah. It is also the point at which billions of tonnes of carbon would be dumped into the atmosphere. “It’s a nightmare,” she says.

That nightmare scenario is the infamous Amazon tipping point, where the ecosystem can no longer cope with the damage being inflicted and irreversibly flips into a new stable state. Like a game of Jenga, brick after stabilising brick is removed until the tower collapses in a heap.

Warnings that this is approaching have now taken on extreme urgency. The rate of deforestation has increased sharply and is fast approaching the theoretical limit. In September, the Science Panel for the Amazon (SPA) – a group of more than 200 experts including Gatti – released an assessment of the state of play. The verdict: we are on the edge of disaster. …

Violência não tem desculpa

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

A sociedade tem o péssimo hábito de condenar a mulher pela violência que sofre.

MULHER NÃO É AGREDIDA PORQUE GOSTA

Inhale Peace; Exhale Love. Joy will Follow! - RUELHA

I used to be a very stuck- up person With very rigid beliefs and notions That was all up until a year ago, I've changed a lot since then; I did grow There'd be people doing all sorts of things all around me But I sat levitating amidst with my idea of morality I never even smoked or abused substances And I never got myself into questionable circumstances I consumed alcohol ever-so-rarely And even stayed away from coffee and tea I didn't want to catch a caffeine addiction I lived by a lot of these self-imposed restrictions And although I'm always happy Because I've made peace and joy a priority I understand adult life is really not that easy And it is a sordid labyrinth full of complexities Most adults are really exhausted Many people live lives that are so contorted A great percentage contemplate suicide Fortunately, not many follow…
