@MissingThePt My irony gland just imploded. Makes my spleen hurt.

@MissingThePt Even more appalling: 'Saudi Arabia was elected in an unopposed bid after the Philippines was pressured to step aside.'

Unopposed.

@MissingThePt Jamal Khashoggi knew how evil the kingdom is under all the facade of modern Saudi Arabia. Once a monster stays a monster.

@MissingThePt The UN has had zero credibly for the last 20 plus years. Now they're just trolling.

Saudi Arabia will do anything, absolutely anything, to thwart progress for women & girls.

@Npars01 @MissingThePt well, yes, who is gonna stop them? This is a perfect time for doing absolutely anything because absolutely noone can do anything to prevent it.

@Nika @MissingThePt

One of the favored disinformation narratives promoted by Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Republicans is particular type of "both sides" .

I call it "futility messaging".

It encourages apathy, inaction, & "do nothing, it's too late" fruitlessness .

There is no fate but what we make.

The planet does not need to fry.

Democracy need not die.

So enough with naysaying & doomerism to absolve people of standing up against those profiting from death.

@Npars01 okk, so what do you suggest can be done? Protesting clearly isn't enough

@Nika

Suggestions:

  1. Voting
  2. Vetting candidates who share progressive values
  3. Monitor who funds their campaigns
  4. Agitate for legislation that protects democracy and the planet from the rapaciously greedy
  5. Ratify the Equal Rights Amendment
  6. Enlarge the Supreme Court
  7. Accelerate the transition to renewable energy & defund the fossil fuel industry
  8. Public awareness campaigns about foreign disinformation
  9. Publicly funded reporting on malign influence campaigns

@MissingThePt Americans. Why Not the Talaban or MAGA or Iran charing women's rights program? 🤔
