Methinks a key Q is why equality isn't yet clocked as 'centrist':
"The one thing that can stop the rise of the far right is the one thing mainstream parties are currently not prepared to deliver: greater equality....there is no other way." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Rightwing populists will keep winning until we grasp this truth about human nature | George Monbiot

Economic inequality breeds resentment and a desire to get even. That’s what fuels support for even incompetent regimes, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Women’s March @womensmarch.com · Jun 10

Right now, L.A. residents are rising up against ICE raids—putting their bodies on the line to defend their neighbors. In response, Trump is deploying 2,000 National Guard troops and the Marines to silence protest and crush resistance.

So the anti-vax organization founded by the current HHS secretary is hosting a dark mirror bullshit clone of the CDC’s website.

No wonder they were in such a hurry to delete the CDC’s data.

E. Rosalie @erosalie.infoepi.com · Mar 21

🧵NEW: A CDC clone website is filled with false and misleading vaccine claims against a backdrop of false balance. The NGO (Children's Health Defense) led by the current HHS Secretary until December 2024 is hosting content for the CDC clone.
