A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.
70% of these donations went to Republicans.
Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich.

CNBC anchor on Trump’s tariffs: “This… is worse than the worst-case scenario.”
There was zero reason for these tariffs—we’re not at war, the economy wasn’t struggling and we had strong trade partners. This is economic sabotage, plain & simple. Folks on the right not to stop pretending he’s helping.
