Not going to pretend to be surprised about this because I wrote a book about January 6. But yes—if you were wondering—the most malevolent criminal in US political history is about to be POTUS in 6 days. It's an unimaginable situation, essentially a living nightmare, and very few fully comprehend it.

I’m being told by some people that ‘we’ll never have a healthcare system like the US’. Why do you think this?
Think tanks are aggressively pushing the case to dismantle the NHS model, and private healthcare is expanding rapidly, as politicians neglect the NHS. This is how things collapse 🚨

Framing matters. It’s not a “refugee crisis”, it’s a humanitarian crisis. Refugees don’t create the problem, inhumanity does.

Hey friends,
I made my first starter pack! You can’t go wrong following these 150 fun and smart science communicators. For some reason there’s no men in there? Weird.
Please don’t be mad if you’re not on there — I ran out of slots even though many are still missing 😬
