The planet we think we're living on no longer exists.

The Extinction Economy is pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere so fast that it could soar to its highest level for at least 50 million years by the end of the 2040s.
'It’s an extreme scenario and one that world leaders are unlikely to let play out given what they already know about climate.'

Really? Take a look at our world leaders, and at what they're doing.

Time to change.

List Of some common Medicinal Kitchen Plants in India –☘️🍀

#Plants have medicinal value too along with ornamental purpose.🌿

#indians have been using plants as medicines to treat wounds, pacify the inflammation and treatment of many diseases.
The ancient science of Ayurveda and Yoga relies heavily on these plants to treat major conditions, from pain management to weight management and everything in between.

Keep them growing and keep nurturing them so that you can utilize them and treat your condition naturally
1) Aloe vera:-

Extremely easy to grow, aloe vera is India’s most favorite and a succulent plant that is low-on-maintenance and easy-to-grow.

The plant is a trusted remedy for Indians to treat skin inflammation, breakouts, and burns.

#life THREAD. On Subtraction.

1/ It’s simple to note: One has to subtract before adding. Give up what’s bad, before thinking about adding what’s good. True for habits, food, news and everything else.
#life 2/ We live in a world with many apparent "signals”.

We’re consuming:
- More info/news/entertainment
- More food
- More social networking
- More things to-do/work...

…than prior generations. It’s making us lazy and critically, disengaged.
#life 3/ It’s unclear what the signal to noise ratio is - it’s a function of one’s own consumption habits.

And separately, we’re prone to setting additional goals too:
- Read good books
- Eat a healthy diet
- Have fewer but better friends
- Work smart

etc.

Step Five – Destroy the Students

“I was taught that communist countries in the first half of the 20th Century put scholars, intellectuals & artists into prison camps, called “re-education camps”. What I’ve come to realize is that American corporatism despises those same individuals as much as the communists did.
“Instead of doing anything so obvious as throwing them into prison, here those same people are thrown into dire poverty. The outcome is the same. Desperate poverty controls & ultimately breaks people as effectively as prison…..some research says it works even MORE powerfully.”

(Thread) Trump, Libertarians & Confederates

Who are “nullification libertarians”?

@laura__3_14 asked for help responding to friends who now call themselves 10th Amendment purists.

(To avoid sending people to their website, I'll use screenshots)

1/ The site is professionally written—and uses the exact same rationale and arguments that underlaid the Confederacy.

I felt a shock: The site made clear the overlap between Trump, libertarians, and Confederates.

Remember the South insisted it wasn't fighting for slavery.
2/ The South insisted it was fighting because the federal government was overreaching.

The Nullification Libertarians👇 want to revive the 1798 principles that allow states to nullify laws that overreach federal powers.

That wasn't a typo. 1798.
