Destroy the Metrics, Destroy the Truth
Trump’s decimation of public health systems isn’t about efficiency, cost-saving, or even ideology. It’s about building a world without truth or the possibility of accountability.

Inside Trump’s Pressure Campaign to Keep the World Hooked on Fossil Fuels
During his first term, Donald Trump pulled a couple of levers to support fossil fuel use. In his second term, he’s seemingly pulling all of them and leaning on the world to stay hooked on oil and gas.

Someone said I should care about real journalists getting laid off. Did any of them speak up and say the ad wasn't fake, that it was Reagan's actual speech?
Trump: One of the most difficult countries to deal with has been Canada. They did a fake ad yesterday. They were caught. That's dirty pool and you can't do that.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

Conservative individualism in a nutshell: the same people who said we need mass deportation so we can take care of “our own” are cheering on the suspension of SNAP because now they don’t want other people to receive “handouts.” They proudly hate other people. It’s a murderous, anti-society ideology.

If you are unwilling to listen to me about the power that empathy has against fascism listen to The Provost. her expertise is unmatched and we are saying the same thing for a reason because to truly defeat fascism you have to embrace our shared, collective humanity, it’s an anti fascist super weapon
You know why Elon Musk calls empathy “civilizational suicide?”
It’s because he knows empathy, paradoxically, is the anti-fascist arsenal’s beat weapon.
Without it, you can’t understand your enemy and you will never, ever see them coming.
