Here’s a hint - anyone who thinks a baseless investigation is an effective threat probably has a lot of things they’re hiding

Yeah, it does imply that, which is why they compared the top 3 oil companies to the top 3 environmental groups.

Together, Shell, Exxon, and Chevron spent $2.1 million on “social issue” ads on Facebook and Instagram between late July and late October 2026. In the same period, three of the top climate and environmental groups – the League of Conservation Voters, the Sierra Club, and Greenpeace – spent just over $846,000, less than half the amount spent by oil companies.

But also, it doesnt matter because they could have focused on Shell alone who outspent all three Climate groups combined

Look, I’m tired of Jefferies smug “I tweeted about it, what more do you want” face, but I do want to call out a bit of a hypocrisy I’m seeing here on Lemmy.

Theres a bunch of folks clamoring about how they want Democrats to focus on trying to fix things and not just waste time on impeachment, but then Jefferies says that’s what he’s gonna do and everyone is back to WHAT ABOUT IMPEACHMENT.

Personally I’m a fan of the walk and chew approach of doing both, but seeing a lot of people bickering about what Democrats should do for the next two years as if nothing they do will be sufficient.

For me, for now, I’m just glad we slowed the bleeding.

Reminder that gay marriage failed in California back in '08.

People will come around, but it takes time to overcome ignorance at this scale.

For now, it’s on all of us to do what we can to support the community and highlight how these injustices impact real people - hate thrives on ignorance.

Turns out he just joined in July.

In addition to the Colbert trainwreck, CBS’s descent into MAGA hit 60 Minutes around June when they fired Scott Pelley. I assume this is their attempt at a replacement. Not surprising he’s an incompetent flop.

I don’t think the damage done by the current US administration is limited to the borders of any single country, but society at large.

As long as Trump retains veto power and the ability to issue executive orders, all Democrats can do is slow the bleeding, unless Republicans grow a spine.

Even the most useless Democratic agenda is less harmful to our society than the burning and pillaging of our communities and social liberties carried out by Republicans over the last two years.

Sure thing! But then what are we gonna do about Vivek?
