Tech oligarchs empowered by AI hype and investment, and the politicians they enable, have scuttled the US public science apparatus. “Scientific progress” will be much poorer, for generations to come

what if the people are replacing churches with Christofascism…
HALLELUJAH!! Their attempt to brainwash the country into a Christofascist cult is backfiring.

‘The U.S. is undergoing its fastest religious shift in modern history, marked by a rapid increase in the religiously unaffiliated and numerous church closures nationwide.’

Another way that being homeless is criminalized. You can land on the registry for “indecent exposure” for urinating outdoors, which is the only option when commerce is required to use a restroom at every single business within walking distance
NEW: beginning january 1, chicago will ban unhoused people on the sex offense registry from seeking shelter on public transit.

it’s the latest in a concerted effort by mayor johnson’s admin to criminalize homelessness on cta trains + buses and in public parks during the coldest months of the year.
