This is an artifact of the securitization of all discourse as a legacy of the war on terror. If high modernism was the shared language of politics, across the spectrum, during the Cold War, the language of safety and security has replaced it since 9/11 on both the left and right. 1/
"If we don't allow politicians to converse in a way that isn't reduced to simplicities, that leaves a vacuum of complexity filled by populists who sound like they are talking with substance"
A big win of the modern right has been to close the space in which nuance can even sit.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.
That is a lie.
The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

In 2024, only 30% of the global humanitarian aid needed for over 186 million people in 73 countries had been funded, leaving a $34.5 billion shortfall.
Gaps in humanitarian funding result in immense human suffering.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

The Arctic Ocean could see its first ice-free day as early as 2027, with a likely window within 9-20 years after 2023. This won’t bring dramatic change overnight, but it marks a fundamental shift in the Arctic’s natural environment—a stark warning about climate change. #ActOnClimate
