Experts on authoritarianism warn and history proves that repressed populations who fail to push back against authoritarian creep suffer worse outcomes than those who do.
Fighting back at every turn - LOUDLY, RESOLUTELY, FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES - is no longer optional. It's our only path forward! 👊

That Mark Zuckerberg should look out over his kingdom and see it as “out of touch” isn’t a criticism of woke Democrats or a regulation-crazy government, Charlie Warzel writes. It’s a criticism of the way he himself capitulates.

The thawing Arctic tundra is now adding more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere than it has removed, a reversal from the usual state of affairs since the peak of the last ice age.
Arctic Tundra Has Long Helped Cool Earth. Now, It’s Fueling Warming.
Wildfires and thawing permafrost are causing the region to release more carbon dioxide than its plants remove, probably for the first time in thousands of years.
